[i keep LAUGHING AT T-CHAN I LOVE YOU YOU STUPID GOAT
there's a couple of different rooms in here. there's one with a pirate theme, there's a jungle theme, there's one that just has a lot of cakes and sweets, like peach's cake from mario... shenhe glances at them.]
If it is, it's a strange one. [...] Oh - this one reminds me of Captain Beidou.
[points at the pirates. she's still carrying t-chan, paying no attention the vibrating fury.]
[Thinking about how I tried to give you a cute omake story about T-chan and the third-party site ruined it.
T-chan really stays in this position until they get inside, then he simply wilts in her arm. When will he not be slightest for his natural instincts...?]
Mmm. It looks a bit like a modeling studio...
[Help, he's from the 90s, he doesn't know any of this. He is angry there is a jungle and a sweets one because he wants to immediately rush to them, but he looks instead at the pirate one.]
[google said here's some information about dry noses instead
she isn't leading him to any particular place because shenhe absolutely is the type of person to just do whatever the fuck everybody else tells her to without hesitation, but she does look pleased to talk about beidou. me too. i love beidou.]
She is. She is the captain of her ship. I like her - she is very direct, and I never have to guess what she is trying to tell me.
D will lead her along eventually, but she showed interest in the pirate room, so he is taking the time for her. It's a good thing. He is learning about Shenhe. He sort of already could guess this a little, but still.]
A straight-forward woman. I see. Fitting for a ship captain, I imagine. Have you ridden it? Her ship.
[D is a polite young man with nothing wrong with him, probably.]
I have. Not often - she is surrounded by her crew most times and I don't like to be in crowded spaces. [...] It's interesting to know what seems to be common across worlds. You're not from Teyvat, but you know what pirates are.
Mm. In a way, I suppose. We have cities like these, but not... these phones, not ones like this anyway. The ones people carry around with them are big and bulky, if they can afford them.
[The 90s........
T-chan goes stiff again in surprise, then veeeeerry slowly lifts his head to bombastic side-eye from under the brim.]
There are devices in Liyue that can capture your image, just like these phones. They are also much bigger. I wonder if that is how technology progresses - an effort to make everything smaller.
You mean a camera? We have those as well. They've never been a part of a phone, however, so this is a little new to me.
[T-chan is looking like WHY ME? That's his expression. But he is begrudgingly taking this without reaction.]
You are looking more and more handsome, T-chan. [Makes it worse. Anyhow.] It does seem that way, doesn't it? Soon, we will be communicating through chips placed under our skin.
[Wow, listen... It's the way the world is going...
D fixes T-chan's hat, laughing some.] He could. You make a fine pirate, T-chan. Maybe we should take a picture with Miss Shenhe? If we go back, we can show the others. [He doesn't even know if they would go back with them.
[she won't like, smile or anything? but she will deposit t-chan in D's hands and go to find something to put on. what she finds is a hook, which she finds endlessly fascinating.]
... What is the purpose of this? [like, it'd just be cumbersome, wouldn't it...]
[HELP. The fact you went from people who make non-stop stupid jokes to someone who cannot make or understand humor period is sure something.]
Sort of like that, yes. It makes all the stories about pirates more interesting to tell.
[He fixes the jacket exaggeratedly, then strikes a subdued pirate pose. With his hand on his hip and stuff. The pose looks more like a portrait of a crusty, wig-wearing American Revolutionary man though.]
Yes, this must have been a very large pirate. I think Mr. Livio may have lost his jacket.

Oh? Is she a pirate?

no subject
Not him learning Shenhe's neurodivergence. Sunday was hell for her.]
Yes. We do not necessarily have pirates roaming the waters in the same way, I suspect, but... we did a long time ago.
no subject
Is your world full of advanced technology? Like - say, Jonas. [she reaches for a pirate hat and puts it on t-chan.]
no subject

[wow she hates the sound of that so she's going to pretend like she didn't hear it!
i love t-chan i know i've said this like 5 times this thread already but i'm delighted. shenhe holds him out to D]
He could be part of Captain Beidou's crew.
no subject
D fixes T-chan's hat, laughing some.] He could. You make a fine pirate, T-chan. Maybe we should take a picture with Miss Shenhe? If we go back, we can show the others. [He doesn't even know if they would go back with them.
Or if they will even get back, but whatever.]

no subject
Though he does pause to glance at the hook.]
Ah, that’s your pirate hook. It goes on your hand.
[Hehe.]
After it’s been amputated.
no subject
... But it would make things impossible to do. [how do you open doors] I have never heard Captain Beidou talk about a pirate hook.
no subject
Never? Maybe her hook is a secret family heirloom.
[He laughs. This is mean. Shenhe won’t get his sarcasm.]
No, she might not have any. I think the hook is an exaggeration, like rumors. Mm, like legends. Peg legs too.
[He comes back over in a ridiculously oversized pirate jacket and a hat.]
no subject
Oh. That makes more sense. An embellishment, like the opera. [... the hat is so much. shenhe just looks at him, lips twitching.]
That is a little big for you.
no subject

no subject
she doesn't laugh because she like, can't, really, not easily. but the pose makes her very amused, and she leans forward a little.]
A pirate would have stolen it.
