[ he knows that was likely voice to text but he can't help it! instead, he enters the park and he's walking pretty easily, keeping his eyes peels. shenhe where are you, did you actually barbeque a squirrel. ]
[okay well listen the plan wasn't to barbecue a squirrel but your phrasing made me laugh so much that he'll probably find at least one crispy rat running around the park as he comes into the park.
he will find shenhe sitting in a tree, because of course she is. she's got her phone out, and she is taking a picture of a very pretty leaf that is in her lap.]
-- You are not a rodent, so I wouldn't set you on fire. [she tells jonas, firmly.]
[ oh my god. he truly is watching this squirrel run in circles and kind of looks skyward in apology before crossing the lawn area toward a few trees. it's pretty easy to find her once he's looking up, and he waits for her to finish taking a picture before he begins to climb to join her as i think about throwing jonas into a rat shack. ]
And I appreciate that more than you know, really. Seems like a pretty ill-advised way to go around here.
Hello, Jonas. [she says, slightly amused by this. she doesn't feel the urge to pat people anymore, but apparently he is an exception because she pats his shoulder when he comes up.] ... Have you explored much, yet?
There's something similar to that tower in my world. I mean I've never seen it in person, but it exists. Didn't you say the Jade Chamber was, like, thrown at a god-monster? I didn't think that meant it was tall.
... A while ago. [hm.] It was. The Jade Chamber was thrown, I mean, or rather, it was driven straight for the god. It is a large structure that floats in the sky.
[looks out in the trees like she's going to see alex out there or smth]
Right. Of course it floats. [ he's nodding because he is listening, but he is also getting the sense that shenhe herself is only half-paying attention. ]
...if you're really that worried about her, you could just text her. She should have her phone.
[ i need you to know he really is straight up not going to understand why this is happening since he's strung to a teammate and has assumed it's all just normal. so. he just kind of hums like "okay, sure." and pats her on the shoulder. there, there? ]
Uh. There's a bunch of boats? Little canals of water that lead around the district. And a museum...and a church? Stuff like that.
[ he knows bird is learning to human so he's like "idk maybe they bonded when i wasn't looking." ]
We could go if you want? Not that I would know what anything from Liyue looks like, but you obviously would. [ the problem is he truly is just kind of. holding out an arm to let this squirrel ascend. sup dude. have a seat. ]
[ part of it is that jonas really does not have strong feelings about what the squirrel's doing. the other part is that he's trying to be nice to things including animals. so okay. he will take the stick of jerky for the squirrel. ]
You've told me about it and I can sort of get an idea, but it'd be cool to see other things from it. Maybe there's paintings or artifacts or something.
[ i cannot believe people want to kill our fat tree rats already. ]
We do. And the museum's not going anywhere so there's no rush to go. [ ...unfortunately because he would ask. ] But you could tell me a little about them? Just to know what kind of stuff I should look for when we do go.
[ holds this jerky for the squirrel to literally hang on his shoulder and snack away. ]
Hmmm... [she thinks about that.] The first thing that comes to mind is the Calamity Queller. It's a spear that was made from an aqua colored crystal collected by a person whose job it was to exorcise evil.
It is bright blue, with gold accents. It was said to be lost to time, but there's still artwork of it in my Master's books.
Pretty impressive name. Kind of a shame it's gone. It sounds like it'd be really cool to look at. [ the squirrel takes part of the jerky and slowly begins to ascend to sit on his beanie. ] Are exorcists like...common at all in Liyue?
Yeah, uh. I don't know, I've heard family reunions can kind of be a drag so maybe you aren't missing that much. [ a pause. ] ...but you should try to at least talk to him again, if you want. Did you like him when you met?

[she hasn't made it out of the park lmao]
no subject
Alex and I looked around a little this morning, but not everywhere. There's...a lot going on. Big buildings and structures everywhere.
no subject
[a beat.] I should find Alex. It... has been too long since I've seen her?
[huh. well, ok.]
no subject
[ but he blinks in surprise. ]
...when did you last see her?
no subject

... No. It's just strange. [hm. anyway.] What else have you seen?
no subject
Uh. There's a bunch of boats? Little canals of water that lead around the district. And a museum...and a church? Stuff like that.
no subject
Oh - I'd like to see all of that. The museum, maybe. I'd like to see if anything resembles Liyue. [she doesn't move from the tree though.
there are squirrels climbing around up here. one is going to try and ascend jonas.]
no subject

shenhe hands jonas a stick of jerky that she'd found at one of the food trucks. for the squirrel.]
I would like that. [...] I'd like to show you what my home looked like.
no subject
You've told me about it and I can sort of get an idea, but it'd be cool to see other things from it. Maybe there's paintings or artifacts or something.
no subject
Artifacts are common in my world. [lol] We can go whenever you'd like. I don't mind sitting here, though. We both like it here, I think.
no subject
We do. And the museum's not going anywhere so there's no rush to go. [ ...unfortunately because he would ask. ] But you could tell me a little about them? Just to know what kind of stuff I should look for when we do go.

I didn't think you were in touch with any of them since...you haven't really had a lot of time with humans. Unless he's not either?
no subject
He is. Human. I met him once, and have avoided him since. He keeps trying to invite me to meet the rest of the exorcists. [NYEH PEOPLE]
