[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.

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.]

[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

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
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.
