Waitress: "Ah, hello miss Hu Tao. Oh! And this must be your plus-one? Good afternoon and welcome to Third-Round Knockout. Shall I show you two to your seats?"

Hu Tao: "Much obliged, Zhiruo. Thanks!"

Zhiruo: "This way then, please. Follow me inside."

Y/N: "This place is quite nice, do you come here often Hu Tao?"

Hu Tao: "Mmmmm... not really, no! But one of my Instructors comes here a lot, but normally he sits outside to listen to the stories. But... eh! Never mind!"

Y/N: "That Instructor... would that by chance be Mr Zhongli, perhaps?"

Hu Tao: "Ayup! How'd you figure that?"

Y/N: "Well... he's the only one I know by name, firstly! But also, he seems quite wise and observant from what I understand, and I guess it just made sense to me that he would be one to listen to the stories and legends that are told in such a manner."

Hu Tao: "Heh! Seems you're quite the observant one too! Perhaps maybe in your spare time you should join him? Maybe then you could catch up on all the history you don't know yet!"

Y/N: "That... I suppose that doesn't so bad... but maybe we can look into that some other time? I mean, we're already here and seated, no? It'd be a shame to walk away now!"

Hu Tao: "Right right! Although... it's cute you think I'd let you up and ditch me now! Teehee!"

Y/N: "r-right! Ha..ha..."

Hu Tao: "Aiya! I'm just teasing you! Teehee! So... what are you thinking of ordering?"

Y/N: "I... I'm not sure! I don't think I've even heard of half of these dishes!"

Hu Tao: "Ah... yeah, I suppose that's true. Sorry! I didn't even think of that!... Maybe we should have done something else...?"

Y/N: "No no! It's fine! I'll just have the same thing as you, I'd like to see the kinda stuff you like!"

Hu Tao: "o-Oh, okay! Well... you've already tried my favourite food: Steamed Fish with a side of Prawn Dumplings!... h- how did you like that by the way? "

Y/N: "It was really good, yeah! And the uh- Qingxin Slime Condensate I had Xiangling add to it didn't seem too bad either!"

Hu Tao: "Bleurgh! I still can't believe you pranked me like that! Teehee! You're so evil to me Y/N!"


Hu Tao then made the fakest sounding sniff of sadness I had ever heard, clearly it was just for comedic effect, but it was so obvious! I bet because she's such a cheery and fun person it's just too obvious for her to get away with!
