[she tilts her head to the side, looking at him.

she likes that sentiment. she likes it a lot, actually. and while she isn't sure she can allow herself to do two of three of those, well.

she stands up.]

I would like to try something. Come with me. [this is a request, not a demand, even if she doesn't phrase it that way.]

[crucifer]

?

[ It's fine, he can get the vibe. Also if he didn't want to he's pretty sure he can just be like 'no', he's not a pushover. ]

What're you thinking?

[bindings]

I have seen a man and his weasel eating fried potatoes. I want to try them, and I think you should try them as well.

[EAT FRENCH FRY]

[crucifer]

[ HELP

Internally he's thinking 'what's a weasel...' ]

You never had them before?

[ He knows what French fries are because Trigun is funny like that. ]

[bindings]

[i like that the triguns know what raccoons are theoretically but weasels are straight out]

Not like these. We have potatoes in Liyue, but I'm not sure I've ever seen them fried in this way.

[crucifer]

[ Honestly at all hours we are freeballing it because Tabasco sauce is canon in this universe. We don't discuss whether something exists either so like, godspeed. ]

Fast food is easy in No Man's Land.

[ Easy to do hot fried food when the entire planet is also hot and fried. ]

New discoveries, though. Harmless.

[bindings]

[help that's valid the genshins also don't ask each other so we're all doing great]

There is that term again...

[the fast food... alex explained to her that it was because the food is served quickly, not that the actual food itself is fast, thankfully.]

I am hesitant to try nuggets. [get up wolfwood let's go frenched fry]

[crucifer]

[ That kind of fast food is usually rawer than most people like. ]

They're alright, too. Eat too many before bed though and you might not feel so hot.

[ God. Briefly he wonders if this is going to be a Guifei Round Two, because that was both so chaotic and funny at the same time.

Wolfwood is a raccoon too but in this city he feels like a sane man. ]

[bindings]

[he really is the only sane person in this game i think]

I would feel not so hot? [shenhe out here like you get a reverse fever from chicken nuggets]

[crucifer]

[ That's so horrible he's not the picture of sanity, please raise the bar. ]

You might feel sick, I meant. It's a saying.

[bindings]

[i read that as saintly first and i was like u rite]

Oh. [this makes her look slightly frustrated.] Mortals never say exactly what they mean.

[crucifer]

[ Both are super correct yeah. ]

Guess we don't. Our language got colourful over the years. Used to be a lot more different ones too, but the Big Fall kinda mostly forced us to use one.

It's expressive, at least.

[ Which is, he supposes. why Shenhe struggles. ]

[bindings]

[shenhe as the john mulaney "i keep all of my emotions right here and one day i'll die" quote]

It is like that in Liyue, too. Master was never the kind to be anything other than direct, so it has been an adjustment. [...] The Big Fall?

[crucifer]

[ Shenhe please. Goal is now to see her smile or laugh at least once. ]

Ask away if you don't know what something means.

[ And. ]

Superevent that happened a hundred fifty years ago. Mankind left our old planet 'cause it was dyin' to look for a new place, but shit happened and it all crashed down on No Man's Land. A hundred and fifty years later, here I am.

[ Same energy of 'I was abandoned at the park as a boy, and now I'm here'. ]

[bindings]

[this is an extremely difficult task for Reasons but good luck wolfwood]

The planet was dying?

[that's alarming. she didn't know that's a thing that could even happen hello

a beat.]

Are you a hundred and fifty years old?

[crucifer]

[ Do it for me...... ]

Yeah. To the first thing.

No. To the second thing.

[ The idea alone makes his nose scrunch. Fuck that, he doesn't want to be on this hell planet for that long. He only wants to be there long enough to see the orphanage make it. ]

I was born way after the Big Fall.

[bindings]

Oh. So it's a story passed down.

[makes sense.]

You don't seem that old.

[crucifer]

Yeah, I'm a young and perky adult. How old do you think I am?

[ He has no idea how old Shenhe is, he realises. Because he's bad about reading profiles. Also it really is my belief that he just asks this to people sometimes just to mess with them and also just see how old he comes off. ]

[bindings]

[bro not even shenhe knows how old she is and yet, somehow, we know her birthday. anyway, she peers at him.

she is very bad at this.]

... Forty years?

[crucifer]

Ow...

That stings...

[ FORTY?! THE PLANET IS ROUGH AND HORRIBLE BUT FORTY?! ]

[bindings]

[HELP]

Is that not a respectable age? [she really is like ???]

[crucifer]

Kinda feels like you're telling me I look aged.

[ WHAT, LIKE A BEEF? ]

How old are you?

[bindings]

[a beef]

... I'm not sure.

[crucifer]

...Lost count?

[ Given she mentioned being immortal... ]

[bindings]

I never kept count to begin with. [did she mention that] I suppose my Master would know, but I never asked.

... I can't, now.
