That - truly sounds wonderful, right now.

[Tea will help with this.]

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[ 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.

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.

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.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[leaveofabsence]

You are very dear to me as well, Doctor.

And I just wish you to know that no matter what has happened in your past, that you have those who will help you through it. That it doesn't change anything about how much I adore the present Doctor right in front of me. And how I look forward to the future that we will share together.

Re: tw: unreality, assisted suicide of teenager

[happydreamed]

Zhongli...

[Sorry, he has to get up and come over so he can hug you. Please don't let him interrupt your tea preparation.]
