    Summary

    Something must be off with Childe’s expression. Zhongli frowns across from him. “Did I make the wrong assumption?” He exhales. “I assumed you would like to stay in Liyue.”

    There’s a hint in Zhongli’s voice that implies forever and…would he? Given the choice, would he want to stay here?

    It’s a place that’s either disgustingly hot or uncomfortably wet, even for a Hydro Vision holder. There are still rules and etiquette that he doesn’t understand. The food is often hit or miss, and he still can’t read his way out of a children’s book. The people, once warm and welcome, now view him as a pariah, a criminal, and Childe knows he deserves it.

    And yet, he doesn’t know. He can’t even answer what should be an easy question. No, he doesn’t want to stay here. He has every single reason to leave, abandon this city and country and leave it for dead.

    Zhongli clears his throat, and Childe’s attention snaps back up. “Have you been to Mondstadt?”

    Wait, what?

    ----
    Childe and Zhongli take a road trip.
