[ it's time for some memory roulette,
ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?! ]

Comments

[scattershot]

[Ah yes, the circumstances.]

Some other time, then. Thank you.

[Alisaie draws her coat a little tighter about herself as they head for the door. Having something to keep her hands warm is just as welcome as the drink, if she's honest.]

I keep thinking I really should get some kind of vehicle... not that I'd know what to do with it if I did.

[leaveofabsence]

While I do prefer walking so that I might enjoy the scenery, I do have a motorcycle if you would like to try your hand at it.

[scattershot]

You have a motorcycle...?

[This does not compute with her image of Zhongli at all and yet is somehow exceptionally intriguing.]

You'll have to show me how it works, some time. I've just been endlessly borrowing horses, when I want to get away.

You can thank D.Va for such an accomplishment. It is unfortunate that the two of you could meet for only a short time.

She certainly knew how to lift everyone's spirits.

[scattershot]

I don't know why they didn't let her graduate. She'd certainly been here long enough. She deserved better than just being cast aside...

[This isn't lifting the mood much at all, is it?

[Alisaie falls silent for a moment, the cup in both hands, fingers spread to catch the warmth.]

It's like a part of her's still here, isn't it? If you pass on something to me that you learned from her... she might almost still be around. Encouraging us all to be different.

[ Even if the topic is not the most uplifting, he smiles all the same at her comment ]

Exactly.

That is the true beauty of this place.

She lives on in us. Just as I will take each and every one of you with me back to Liyue when I return.

[scattershot]

And just think... if we hadn't been brought here - even if it's like this, and for a terrible purpose - then we'd never have met at all. I can't even imagine a life which had never had you in it...

[She laughs, a little ruefully.]

I don't suppose I shall ever be grateful to them. That really is asking too much. But I am glad.

[leaveofabsence]

We have a saying in Liyue - that flowers can bloom even in the most turbulent of storms. I like to think that our fated meeting here is one such flower.

It may be fleeting and only a spark of color and life across a bleak landscape, but I am glad to have experienced it nonetheless.
