Cold and God forsaken place.
It's the correct description for Dragonspine. One wrong move and you're a goner.
Doing business from Li Yue Harbor to Monstadt, one must passed this wretched place.
Childe shivers before he strides faster. Zhong Li looks ready to become a snowman any minute now.
"Just hang in there. I remembered Albedo got a base camp somewhere nearby. I'm sure we could rest there tonight," says Childe.
"I hope so. I almost freeze to death here..."
Childe chuckles and hugs him from behind. He nudges his nose to his napel.
Zhong Li struggles and finally he got released. He's quite sensitive in that spot.
This man has been trying to find his sensitive spots in the last few days. As if he wants to escalate their relationship.
Childe points to a half hidden cave not too far ahead of them.
He comments, "There...This place isn't easy to find. If Amber hasn't told me, we could never find this place... "
"Finally..." complaints Zhong Li.
It's barely enough light to keep traveling. The moonlight gives more loneliness atmosphere to these icy regions.
It's a cold freezing night. Fire is burning steadily in the brazier. Childe keeps adding firewood.
Zhong Li can't sleep. He fears he might not open his eyes again.
Childe gives him a hug.
He says, "Get some sleep. We will continue after dawn."
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm okay. Don't worry."
Childe grabs Fenrir and puts it next to Zhong Li. She works as a natural heater.
Zhong Li finally feels at ease. He falls asleep next to the wolfdog.
Childe smiles. As a Harbinger, he got used to stay alert. Once he didn't sleep for three days in a mission.
He lost count how many young agents died in a mission. Never carved their names in the organization. Life as an agent is very fruitful in experiences and rewards. No pain no gain.
Dragonspine is a dangerous place. He nearly died here.
Can't lower my guard. I don't want anything happen to him.
He adds more firewood to the brazier.
At dawn, Childe wakes up Zhong Li. No response. He lowers his head and steals a kiss.
Zhong Li opens his eyes right when their lips meet.
Childe smirks and plants another kiss.
He teases, "Need a morning kiss for good luck."
They clean up the mess and leave the campsite. Can't let Albedo be unhappy.
Childe has glanced at some written texts posted on wooden board. Somekind of alchemy mumbo-jumbo.
He isn't alchemist. He has no idea about the info written.
He heard the locals called Albedo as alchemy genius.
Fortunately the blizzard from last night has ended before dawn.
Childe draws his blade. His insticts tell him that someone is approaching them.
Fenrir in his bag howls slightly. He licks Childe at the back of his head.
"Hey, cut it out. You're no dog..."
