[this is testing the limits of shenhe's ability to remember people's names.]

... Alex and Jonas. [squints.] Buzen and Matsui. You and your friend.

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh. she nods.]

Makes sense. It's easier to trust someone you already know. But I guess you don't really know anyone.

[bindings]

No, I do not. [...] Kaveh and Nahida are from my world, but Sumeru is far from Liyue. I'm not sure we would have ever met, if not for dying.

[joke's on you shenhe you're all playable characters so there's a chance]

... I suppose I will see where I end up. [a small sigh.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[...]

If I overheard right, you haven't ruled out doing things for extra points.

[bindings]

[she shifts her weight from one foot to another.]

I don't feel strongly one way or another about my second chance. I was simply curious to know what would happen. [...] I haven't ruled it out completely though, no.

[honkinbigteeth]

...You don't feel strongly about your second chance?

[bindings]

No. This is as good of a place for someone like me as any.

Though I do wish there were more trees.

[honkinbigteeth]

...I get that. What do you mean by someone like you?

[bindings]

[she folds her arms.]

I was born bearing a calamitous curse. My existence brings harm to those around me. [she says it simply enough. it's not really a secret.] It should be under control, so you have nothing to worry about.

[honkinbigteeth]

[ohhhhh. mood.]

I wasn't worried. I'm a little cursed to bring harm to those around me, too. Curse buddies?

[bindings]

[oh, hey, what a thing to have in common. she looks a little surprised, but also, it's nice.]

... Yes. Curse buddies. [she says this like she has never said the word buddies in her life, which she hasn't.] I like that.

[honkinbigteeth]

[she doesn't have a tail but she still looks like she's a dog wagging her tail. she holds out a paw for a fist bump.]

Me too. But I also hope you find a silver lining. I thought it was all bad for a long time, but there are things I can only do because this happened to me.

[bindings]

[i'm sorry she just stares at the fist bump because she doesn't know what to do with it... please teach her.]

Me too, I think. [she says, after a moment.] What are you doing?

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh. You hit it with your fist, and it solidifies us as buds.

[bindings]

... Oh.

[ok, she does, but it's probably a little too hard and it might hurt a little.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[she is a barbarian and she has so much hp. it's fine. hit away.]
