M/n was in an upbeat mood, he didn't have to deal with angry husbands or wives nor Boyfriends or Girlfriends. He decided to take a break from his work and wander the plains to look for the hidden shrines and flowers along the way. M/n had been in this world for three months at this point and he became even more familiar with the world of Teyvat.
"This is peaceful-"

"Oh look a slut."

"That was short-lived, what in the name of Rex lapis are you doing out here? Let me guess you followed me?"M/n was very unfazed by the appearance of his last client's wife, who was still bothering him for the past three days.
"I never learned your name but then I remember that I care not for you. I left the harbor to get away from you and the others who hate me for doing my job."

"A disgusting job at that!"

"Ugh! What's so wrong with sex work?! Why do people like you automatically assume that sex workers are beneath everyone? It's not our fault when someone uses us to cheat on their partner! If anything it's not my business what they do before or after, as long as I get paid I don't care! Now if you'd excuse me, I'll return to my walk."M/n turns on the heel of his feet and storms away from the stunned woman. Eventually, M/n walked to a statue of seven and took a seat. He angrily huffs but he sighs sadly.
"Why couldn't I have been in the land of freedom? Everyone here is so judgemental towards people of different walks of life.."M/n turns to look at the statue only to find a certain man looking down at him.

M/n screamed at the top of his lungs! How long had Zhongli been standing there?!
"Archons! How long have you been standing there?!"

"Since you stormed over and sat down. I was getting ready to ask if you were alright but you turned around before I could ask."

"Ahem, sorry for screaming so loud...My name is M/n and you are?"M/n asked playing dumb to who Zhongli was and he's quite the actor since Zhongli saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"My name is Zhongli, I work at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor as a consultant."

"Ah, you're the one my darling best friend told me about."

"Miss Hu Tao?"M/n nods his head and explained how the girl of topic told him a while back about someone she hired to work at the funeral parlor. As M/n talks about the silly girl, Zhongli takes notice of the three aligned beauty marks on the neck of the other.
"It would seem I know of you as well. Hu Tao told me that she had a friend with three beauty marks on their neck."Zhongli was surprised, the way Hu Tao spoke about M/n made him believe that her friend was a woman but he was wrong.
"Well, it was nice meeting you but this will probably be our last time speaking."

"What do you mean?"

"Uhh, I'm an escort."Zhongli tilts his head to the left, obviously confused as to what M/n was hinting at.
This man is 6000 years old and doesn't know that people will tell lies about me to him?
M/n cocked his eyebrow at this, what would be the best way to explain it so that that old Archon would understand, was what M/n was thinking. So he decided not to sugarcoat it and be completely straightforward.
"I'm a whore, you know that right? I have se-"

"No need to explain your profession! Ahem, I was just confused as to why you think that would make a difference. You're a very interesting person and I would like to get to know you more in the future."

"....Whatever, suit yourself, if anything they'll berate me soon as they see you speaking to me. Anyway, I'm leaving now."M/n quickly stands up from where he sat and leaves without giving Zhongli a chance to say goodbye.
"Hm what a strange man he is... Quite a rare beauty."
