Zhongli:
The former Geo Archon is a very patient man. After centuries of experience, he knows within himself when to take a break. However, the physical exhaustion of a mortal body was something he was not quite used to yet. His office basked in a warm orange as the sun sets over Liyue, and Zhongli exhales softly through his nose. The pen in his hand scribbles away at the documents left by Hu Tao, but his mind was elsewhere.
Tiredness ached within his joints, and he sets the quill down to flex his fingers. He’s not one to complain; he was grateful for his job at the funeral parlor, and he wasn’t about to draw attention to a measly setback such as this.
As Zhongli gains the motivation to start again, an agonizing pulse shoots through his palm. A hiss escapes through his teeth and the pen clatters to the floor. He barely registers the pull on his pants leg as he gathers himself. His amber orbs trace over the face below him, two (e/c) doe-like eyes watching him with curiosity.
“What are you doing down there, little one?” Zhongli’s voice rumbles as a soft smile graces his features. The child quickly lifts the writing utensil he dropped moments before and giggles.
“Write!” They exclaim.
“Yes. That is used for writing,” the consultant replies as he lifts the young being onto his lap. Taking an empty copy of paper, he places it on the table in front of the child, who immediately scribbles away at the white sheet. Zhongli couldn’t help but to place his hand on top of theirs, stopping any erratic movement of the pencil. They look at him, their cheeks puffed out in irritation.
“Write!” They announce sternly, making the Archon chuckle.
“Let me teach you how I do it.”

Kokomi:
Her Excellency of Watasumi Island is a very busy lady. With all her time spent on finding ways for Sangonomiya to grow, she tends to forget about her own needs. With the villagers finding new ways to cultivate the land; to the daily tasks needed to be sent out to the soldiers; to the duties at the shrine; the lead priestess was tired to say the least.
She knew a few hours with her books would do her some good. She asked General Gorou to keep an eye out while she rejuvenated herself with new tactic plans. She sat contently in her own company, eyes gazing across the words printed on the page. She was truly invested in the plot, theories and questions dancing in her thoughts. The suspense was killing her as the scene unravels, and though she was quite immersed, the sudden laugh from under the table confused her.
Kokomi tilts her chair back to peek beneath the desk, and a relieved sigh retreats from the priestess. “Why, if it isn’t little (Y/n). How did you find this place?” She questions as the child climbs up her legs and into her lap.
“Easy peasy,” They exclaim, “I found your tree!”
“I see,” Kokomi coughs out in response to their boisterous personality, “so you found my reading spot?”
“You can read books?” (Y/n) mumbles, a sudden glumness falling on their face.
“I can… you cannot?”
“I can, I’m just not very good at it. I bet you’re a pro at reading! You’re good at lots of things, Miss Kokomi!”
“You’d be surprised,” She says with a small smile, “How about this: you read me a chapter, and I read you one.”
“You’re going to read to me?”
“If you read to me. It’s only fair, and besides, how will you get better if you don’t practice?”

kokomi !!
→ A parcel of bright azaleas and snowy white carnations. The azaleas signify for her to take care of herself and gratitude for everything she's done. Meanwhile, the white carnations represent her sweet and lovely nature.
→ +100 energy! The gift immediately reenergizes her for days to come. She can't help but giggle and blush over the parcel of flowers in your grip. Glancing away for a brief moment, she snatches it out of your hands and takes in their sweet scents. She sways from side to side and grins from ear to ear as she whispers a delicate thank you.
→ She places the flowers in a vase on her desk; and for days to come, she takes care of them as much as she can—occasionally having Gorou do it for her if she's too busy. When she returns to her office, she'll sigh and immediately feel at ease when she sniffs the flowers. Careful now—you might catch her hugging the vase of flowers on occasion!
gorou !!
→ A packet of sunflower seeds. Whenever he plants them and they grow to be taller than him, they'll represent your adoration for him and his loyalty to you.
→ His initial reaction is, "am I supposed to eat these?" and you can't help but laugh at his unintentional comedy. You tell him, "no, plant them!" and he does so. Although, he can't help but keep asking himself what the point of this is. He's grateful, regardless, giving you a hug and thank you.
→ Watatsumi isn't the best for growing things, but these flowers seem to pop right up and grow almost a meter taller than he. The morning they're that tall he gasps and stares up at the tall sunflowers with wide eyes. Then, before you know it, he's grinning from ear to ear and wagging up a storm.
