I'm sure I will. But that doesn't mean I'll ever like it.

That's silly. You could turn me into whatever you want when I wake up.

[ Frowning now ]

That sort of thing doesn't interest me.

[ S H R U G ]

If you don't, someone will.

. . . Mondstadt is the land of freedom and personal choice.

I hope that your many lifetimes will see plenty of opportunities for that to ring true.

There will always be those who want to use me for their own purposes. Especially after I have my abilities back and they find out I can make more powerful beings. My Chevaliers don't even hibernate.

You wouldn't willingly make them, though.

[ A pause ]

Um-- well, when you're feeling more like yourself anyway.

I remember that until now I was horrified at the idea of making them, because I valued their free will over my happiness.

Now, that seems really stupid. [ She wants what she wants, why shouldn't she take it? ]

That's why we should probably see how you feel in a few days . . .

Is that your way of saying that you like be better when I'm miserable and punishing myself? [ Danger, Will Robinson! ]

[

]

It's more like, I'm worried about you not liking yourself even less.

[ look just let her nitpick for things to be pissy about and/or make them up whole cloth, this is why she needs Chevaliers they're not twits about her being awful plus they can be beat up infinitely, where is the downside ]

That's a silly thing to worry about.

Is it? To worry for you -- in the now as well as the future?

Yes. I can't really die here and I definitely can't once I leave, and if it's even possible to hate myself more than I already do then it wouldn't be a very big change.

And even if that happened, it only lasts until I fall asleep. [ So who cares? ]

Like it or not, I care about your suffering, regardless of how incremental or brief.

...Even if I do things you don't like? [ Such as kill your friend or make blood slaves? ]

Even then.

I can care for you without approving of your every action.

Were you waiting for me to drink poison to tell me all this stuff? Honestly.

[ YOU'RE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BE ANGRY AT YOU STOP THAT ]

[ In his defense, ]

You never asked before now!

[ incredulous ]

Who asks that?!

I don't know! People who want to hear it??

[ She actually laughs and not in a creepy way, nice work! ]

I'd have to assume it were possible for people to care about me before I'd ask about it.

That's true. I guess you stand corrected.

Or you're lying so I don't flay your skin off your bones and turn your pretty wings into a pillow.

But I much prefer the idea that you care, even if I don't understand it.

Good plan.

Besides, it would've been much easier for me to just avoid you altogether, don't you think?
