It was a blissful morning for Guizhong, the god of dust. The young woman was admiring the crystal clear sea in a field of gaze Lily's, the flower was her favorite, it gifted her with the calmest of thoughts. The Geo Archon, Morax, and herself have became close friends after the contract they signed. They knew that with Guizhong's wisdom and Morax's intelligence they could rule the Guili Assembly together. Guizhong wanted to have Morax learn to control his way of handling things. She wanted him to become a better version of himself.
"Say Morax, would you ever consider finding inner peace? You're becoming older each year and you still haven't changed a bit."
She smiled at him while stroking his hair gently. However, he stayed silent. He was deep in blank thoughts. The breeze carried the leaves and grass plains, Morax admired that.
"Hmm. Allow me to give you a piece of advice dear friend."
Guizhong offered, Morax opened one eye signifying that he is listening.
"Say Morax, I believe that later as time goes by you will find peace and become very wise. However, I order to build this, I recommend you start sympathizing with people around you. Including those who are mortal."
She told him in a calm voice, Morax found her voice soothing. He had never felt the way he does for Guizhong before, hell he doesn't even know what he's feeling for her.
"If that's what you want, I'll try my hardest to feel for the mere mortals of this world...."
He took the stone dumbbell and looked at it.
"Once again, I will fulfill my promise."
He told her giving her one of the gaze Lily's to put in her hair.
"That's good to hear."
She smiled gently as they continued to admire the beauty of the plains during the breezy and bright morning.

It was early evening moments before a beautiful sunset hit Liyue, The God of Dust, Guizhong and the Geo Archon, Morax we're enjoying tea together. The chatted and had a bit of fun. Whenever Guizhong smiled or laughed it gave Morax a sense of joy and made him feel content. Little did they know a war was to come sooner then expected....."Morax, how long do you plan on keeping a informal contract between us? I believe it's not mandatory for you to stay unless it was..."
She questioned him with her infamous soft expression.
"As long as we have the Guili Assembly in tact I believe there is no need for a formal contract...."
Morax then looked at her and added,
"If you would like to create a formal contract between us that is fine however, there is no going back for either of us."
Guizhong then spoke,
"No no it's perfectly fine Morax, I wasn't looking to make an agreement as of now. I was just curious."
She took a sip of her tea.
"Now, We need to get going a ceremony amongst the mortals await us." He responded with,
"Oh, I see. I'll be here, I would hate to ruin you moment with your fellow citizens." She then added on,
"Our. Our citizens. You need to realize that we rule this Assembly together. It's not just me and it's not just you. It belongs to us both as well as the god of stove, Gouba. Besides, I think it's time the Citizens are granted the honor to meet the God of Geo Rex Lapis."
She looked at him with encouragement,
"Hmm, maybe next time. I do not feel they want to see me."
He told her calmly. He was really only calm with Guizhong, in other situations he would loose his cool and get angry at such questions. But with Guizhong, it's different....her aura feels nice and makes him feel calmer, he's even became good friends with Gouba, the god of stove.
