Zhongli's POV
At the local teahouse in Liyue, Taking a sip of my tea while waiting for an old friend to arrive is calming at the least..
'I wonder what they'll ask.. And I wonder if I'll be able to give an answer.' I sigh, gently placing my tea cup down and looking at it for a while until I heard a door opening.
I look up and see (Y/N) looking down at me with those (E/C) eyes and a half hearted smile.
"(Y/N)."
"Mora--I mean, Mr. Zhongli."
"Haha it'll take a while to get used to my name (Y/N), don't worry about it." I smile a bit as I watch them sit down with a teacup in their hands.
"It's nice to be able to see you again, Zhongli." (Y/N) said while taking a sip in their teacup.
"It's nice to see you too, how have things been? It's been a while since we lasted talked or saw each other." I asked while I refilled my teacup waiting for an answer.
"Well, it's been interesting for the most part haha.. But I always wondered how things have been here
I see you changed your appearance and as by appearance I also mean by how people used to know you by." They look at me cold hearted "I've also heard that you gave your gnosis to the fatui."
I tense up a bit but managing to calm down "I have my reasons (Y/N)..if you wish to hear them I'll gladly explain." I replied.
"Then please Zhongli."
"Explain."

"And then I realized the people of Liyue do not need me, even after all these years they managed to stay independent and as for that I decided to drop my name as a God and faked my death.. Now I walk around Liyue as Zhongli, some people even know me as a "walking dictionary"." I finally said taking a deep breath then looking at (Y/N).
"Ah I see, I understand now thank you for explaining." (Y/N) made a closed eyed smile and they got up from their seat "That reminds me Zhongli, are there any more adepti other than me?" They asked without looking back at me.
"I can name a few yes." I replied "Do you know their names and where I could find them?"
"Hm..There is one I want you to meet, I think you two will get along together nicely, if he gives you a chance that is but I think you'll succeed." I stand up from my seat walking over to (Y/N).
"His name is Xiao, he was also known as Alatus but that name is long gone. He's usually at Wangshu Inn either eating, or out near the Inn outside in case slimes pop up. " I stated.
"Xiao eh?" (Y/N) smiled
"I'll see if he's willing to let me know about him and maybe I'll help him a bit with those monsters." They take out their weapon flexing a bit then putting it away into thin air.
"It might have been a few years since I slayed some enemies but I still got it! Wouldn't you say Zhongli?"
"A few?" I laugh a bit
"Hey! Be respectful for the Adepti who protected you over years!"
"You're right (Y/N), I must apologize." I said sarcastically.
"I need to leave now, it's been wonderful catching up with you Zhongli, let's talk another time yeah?"
"Of course (Y/N)."
"Wonderful! I'll see you soon." (Y/N) replied leaving the teahouse with a sound of a door closing in front of me. 'They haven't changed at all over the years' I smiled and sat back down in my seat, drinking another cup of tea.
