...No more cruel than my request was of him, if so.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

[ Well, he can't really argue with that---

So he places a hand on Doctor's shoulder ]

Come. Let's go back to the dorm and I'll make you some tea.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

That - truly sounds wonderful, right now.

[Tea will help with this.]

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

[ Tea solves everything.




Well, no. It really doesn't. But perhaps not being in a public space is the smallest comfort that can be offered at the moment.

And so they turn back from the lobby towards HSS dorm. ]

Are you the sort of person who wishes to hear about silver linings?

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

[Privacy is also very much appreciated.]

I would like to hear any you have to offer.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

With your old life coming to a close, what you want to do with this one has limitless possibilities.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Indeed. Settling down in Liyue with Aliza sounds quite nice, in my mind.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

Liyue, of course, would welcome you warmly with open arms.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

You'll never escape regular teatime with me for the rest of our existence, you realize. And since I doubt dreams age, that could be a very long time.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

I cannot say I will be the most long-lived being in Teyvat - Venti as a pure wind elemental will last much longer than I - but I still have a few good millennia in me, I suppose.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Ah, you're different types of god...?

[this is a much better topic, please distract him.]

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

[ Distraction is a go ]

Though there are many types of deities in Teyvat, archon is more of a title. It signifies your status of ruler of one of the seven nations. Venti is a being of pure elemental energy. I am on the otherhand a dragon - an illuminated beast but a beast all the same.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Ah, I see. ...I'd have pegged you as older than him, personally.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

Oh no. You are correct. I am older than him by around 3,000 years I believe. But he will live much longer than I.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

I see. -Then, if I can keep him company once you're gone, I would be glad to do so.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

And Alizarin as well? She is also an immortal, is she not?

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Indeed. I will be by her side for as long as she can stand me.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

Alas, I am afraid that may be all of eternity.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Ah, truly tragic.

[Here they are at HSS dorm, time for tea.]

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

[ TIME FOR TEA.

And that means time for Zhongli to make it. Doctor gets to just sit and be spoiled like he deserves. ]

I do wish to offer you this though. Death affects everyone in different ways and there are many ways to grieve.

If you wish assistance in performing a Rite of Parting for either yourself or Russel, I would be honored to offer my services for such an endeavor.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

-Would it not be strange to hold a funeral for myself?

[He's not against it, it just seems Weird.]

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

Perhaps. But lacking anyone else who knew you at that time, there is no one else suited to oversee it other than you.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

I'm uncertain... but I will consider it.

...I would like one for Russell, at least. He deserves that much.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

Very well.

Perhaps when the pain is less fresh, you can tell me more about him so that we can properly prepare for it.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

I will.

Thank you, Zhongli. You are a dear and precious friend.
