( Why does she talk to you again, Xingqiu? )

you could have said he mentioned me
would have taken less time

[rainswords]

[ Probably to enhance her vocabulary and feel like her mind isn't wasting away as she no longer attends school??? Or they're both weird — after all, she is aware that he is aware that she attempted to rob him so then why is he talking to her?

It was an entertaining endeavor on her part. ]

Certaintly, and yet that wouldn't have entailed the logical reasoning behind my conjecture. I wanted there to be very little doubt otherwise there is a chance you may have claimed I made an error.

[bratherine]

( Eh, it doesn't count if you didn't have what she wanted in the first place, right?

Truth is that, maybe, just maybe, Xingqiu's deliberate attempts to obfuscate everything behind fancy words reminds her of Marc trying to annoy her.

Painfully familiar, both nostalgic and making her long to be home. To be done with this. )

nah
there'd be no point in that

[rainswords]

[ That's not the way he thinks, the attempt was there and from that alone, he can infer he likely may not have been her lone target. However, he still believes she went about it clumsily. That would be why he is willing to converse with her, it had been an entertaining experience.

As for his manner of speaking. No, that's entirely the cause of it, in fact, a reaction is the least of his interests. He is just odd. ]

That's fair.

But know, that I am glad you two are close friends.

[bratherine]

( She'll stand by the fact that committing a little robbery is a small price to pay if it helps her get her contract done.

And fair, but it's still gonna remind her of her brother. At least XQ does something more with his hair... even if that's, uh, questionable? )

better be nice to him

( She's just saying. A little robbery is nothing for her contract, and a little violence is nothing if someone hurts Shin. )

[rainswords]

[ There is the problem. He isn't as motivated.

It may be a questionable stylistic choice but he isn't the only one in Liyue Harbor to sport an asymmetrical cut... Now we pan over to Teyvat and watch Yelan as she prepares for work by sleeping probably. At least, he brushes his fine silky hair every morning and before bed. Does that count for something? ]

I've been more than cordial.

Well, at least I never tried to rob him.

[ He is allowed that dig! ]

[bratherine]

( Ask her about her contract sometime! ... Well, don't, because she probably won't tell you, but yeah some people choose things they're desperate to achieve.

Yelan gets it. Love the queen. )

it was one time

[rainswords]

[ As expected. Of course, he would never inquire about it on the off chance she is honest then he would be obligated to be as well. Things are a bit complicated. He doesn't need assistance in fulfilling his desires, he needs time...

Yes! Please! She made double hydro a winning team ]

Yes. Of course. But it was one time too many.

Are you going to compensate me for the traumatic experience you put me through? Okay, I think that's enough. I must say, I should actually thank you for keeping me entertained. If you want to practice that particular trade then I'm more than willing to play the role of your victim to varying degrees of helplessness.

[bratherine]

( Honesty is for people who aren't being conscripted into crime groups. )

ugh

( Goddammit though if that offer isn't actually kind of tempting. The more skills under her belt, the faster she can go home, right? The question is where in the day does she have time to do it. )

might take you up on that
won't tell you when

( Or... she might just drop a couple of drinks in his lap as a semi-apology for making him spend his money on a failed robbery attempt. )

[rainswords]

[ Go ahead and try to tell him that.

As for his offer. Only he knows how serious he is about it, although, if she does approach him with interest then for amusement he wouldn't mind providing her aid despite being wary that she may actually attempt to hone that particular skill. It goes both ways, doesn't it? He too would get something out of it. ]

Naturally. Theft should come as a surprise.
After all, if I am aware of an attack wouldn't I just avoid being present for an ambush?

[ He would definitely look at her more favorably after all that can be taken as a sign of remorse. ]

Well, then. I expect you to surprise me.
But that may be difficult. I do warn you of that.

[bratherine]

good
i like challenges

( At least when it's just for fun. When it comes to actually committing crime, it'd be nice if it could go the easy way for once. Ha. Haha... Hahahaha.

Who knows. Maybe one day, he'll just find a couple of bottles of a nice, non-alcoholic (I know) drink deposited somewhere he frequents. Not exactly a surprise thieving attempt, but a surprise nonetheless? )

[rainswords]

Then I'll presume that there will be no need to treat you like an amateur.
Don't worry, I will only take this as seriously as you do.

[ This might be leaning more towards fun than anything else. As for any criminal intent against him well...

A surprise certainly but it might be best if she delivers them in person. He knows better than to drink random stuff he finds in random places. ]

[bratherine]

( Well, at least her next act of crime is only directed towards Shuten...

And fine, she supposes she'll be sat with those drinks. No tricks or sleights of hand on the agenda. Surprise? )

[rainswords]

[ He sees nothing, he knows nothing.

Except for what's in the second volume of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. That he does know about but it's entirely useless in whatever the heck is happening now.

No. See in every person there is the capacity for good, that he does believe in. And if the choice is to ignore change then there is another path. 50/50 chance he isn't making to see his late twenties. ]
