Companion/Teapot Chats
Chronos: Hello.
Chronos: I am not sure if my orders apply within this realm. However, I do not believe Ei would have animosity towards this event. What brings you here?
Traveller: Good morning, Chronos.
Chronos: Good morning, Traveller. May your day be efficient, and every hour prosperous.
Traveller: Good night, Chronos.
Chronos: Good night. Rest well within the hours allotted.
Chronos: Whatever lies ahead may require full attention.
Traveller: How do you like it here?
Chronos: It is calm, much unlike the battlefields I frequent. I must say it is quite pleasant to have a break here.
Chronos: I can polish my spear, or tend to my armour.
Chronos: Might I even cook here?
Traveller: You can cook?
Chronos: Ei cannot, so I tend to do so whenever she craves a sweet of sorts.
Traveller: Well, you're always welcome here if you'd like.
Chronos: I appreciate the gesture. I would have to ask Ei for permission, however.
Traveller: Would you like to have a chat with me? (LV4)
Chronos: Sure. What is to be discussed?
Traveller: I've been wondering what it's like being you.
Chronos: Being me? Nothing more than serving orders. Kill, clean, and return.
Traveller: Seems rather... bleak.
Chronos: Are your days not similar? Your commissions are likely the same.
Chronos: Decimate a hilichurl camp, or tear through Fatui.
Traveller: Well...
Chronos: Your actions do not go unnoticed, especially not under my gaze.
Traveller: What do you think of yourself compared to the others?
Chronos: Am I not one of them?
Chronos: However, an incident from a while ago would indicate otherwise...
Traveller: An incident?
Chronos: A story not mine to tell.
Chronos: I think of myself as them, yet I am unsure why they look at me with hardened gazes.
Chronos: They sometimes declare me as inhuman, but to that I ask, what would be the definition of a human?
Traveller: That... that is quite the question.
Chronos: Would you know, having crossed several nations and seen much more than I have?
Traveller: I...
Traveller: It's difficult, because the line between living and dead becomes blurred for some.
Chronos: I see.
Chronos: Nevertheless, this chat has been well worth the time.
Traveller: Anything you want to do? (LV7)
Chronos: I want... to do...
Traveller: Yes, something that's... outside of your orders. Something for yourself.
Chronos: I want to remember.
Traveller: Remember?
Chronos: My past. All of it. From birth to death, from rise to fall. My nation and my family cannot be forgotten. I've gotten scraps but... I do want it all.
Chronos: I am not human.
Traveller: That really doesn't matter in my eyes.
Traveller: You're more human than some others that are, by flat definition, human.
Traveller: The meaning of human is living, in a way; it never has one strict definition.
Chronos: I see, I see. Thank you.
Chronos: I want to travel more with you. I want to see mountaintops and return the memories that were taken from me. I want to learn more from you, and reclaim the humanity I lost.
Traveller: Wouldn't that make you a different person?
Chronos: I do not know.
Traveller: Well, anything else?
Chronos: I would like to duel with you.
Traveller: I don't think I'm mentally ready for that...
Chronos: I do not think I stuttered. You have one week to prepare.
Traveller: Alright, then...
Chronos: I jest. Notify me when you are truly prepared.
Chronos: I will not hold back. I have seen your combat prowess. It shall be a legendary clash of blades.
