Head in hands. Quite the impression, their Grand Master is leaving on this crowd. ... over wine.

// good heavens I love this woman

// I'm playing the paralogism chapter now ...... i close my eyes and imagine Elliot is also there as part of the capitains..... 😊

Mourning Monday...

and nobody believes you now you're bleeding magic out

// pyrophobics unite ‼️‼️

rip off the bandaid and expose old wounds, but how else are you supposed to heal?

sigh 💦

"...." he doesn't say it but anyone would think Diluc was quite favored... Training with the grandmaster himself? That's some aristocracy privilege right there. "I suppose having such a legendary professor makes a difference." sigh. +

// wolf motifs it is ..... i'm actually Quite PROUD of that constellation design.... hoyo hire me

// I avoided adding wolf motifs to elliot simply because......... wriothesley 😔 (even though elliot's designs exists pre-genshin, I made him up 6 years ago. but just their hairs are already so similar💔) but also ... while wrio is a cerberus (greek), elliot is Fenrir, or Sköll (Norse mythology) ...

// i took some cool pics.............. a shame these are purple and not red

// leo rambling time: Alchemy and Magic are different things because they have different purposes/outcomes ☝️ Alchemy is for creation/transmutation Magic is for manipulation/control and, Alchemy creates Matter, while Magic creates phenomena! but the base of both is elemental energy. +

// ok this is the first time I see this in my life and it's freaking cool and I want this aesthetic for elliot too ‼️‼️‼️

// look at my new icon…. takidon cooked so hard with this one… jade looks so handsome 🥺 and the wizard hat…. perfect for elliot…

How curious it is that suddenly Zhongli seems excited to share knowledge, even though it's not about minerals... Is it his lucky day? A little flustered as he's not used to being so outgoing, he holds the brim of his hat with a smile. "That would be most helpful, Mr. Zhongli." +

The colors making up a blush are quickly drained from his face and he becomes pale like an apparition. 50,000 is already astounding on its own!!! He'd take years to buy SIX of those!! He didn't even know wine could be so expensive... He barely ever drinks. +

the afternoon sun is so warm and comfortable… the swift breeze is so cool and refreshing… No wonder he fell asleep under the first tree he found. even a couple slimes joined him for nappy time…!

i shall grieve, and i shall weep. but i shall never regret.

i believe in love at first sight. fate, the universe, all of it. but not how you’re thinking. i don’t mean it in the 'our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever' sort of way. i just think you’re mean to meet some people.

// can you blame him for avoiding pyro slimes when he’s a pyro vision user whose main mechanic is pyro infusion 💔 bro won’t do shit to the ball of fire

… though you looked like you were having fun playing soccer with the poor slime, master diluc. 💭

sigh. I deserved that one. 💦

He could argue it was Diluc the one to kick the slime rolling around in a circle of fire, but he’s much more polite than that… But he has to stop midway from rummaging his pockets for his wallet at that call-out. His cheeks go bright red in shame +

That was quite the display! Master Diluc running after the slime like playing soccer... skillfuly even. Elliot ended up laughing before he could realize it. When the other finally approached again, he cleared his throat forcing the laugh to die down. +

// yk maybe .... elliot could've studied in Sumeru's Akademiya too, like lisa .... but IDK if one needs to pay for it cuz my boy is an ORPHAN 💔 if it's just based on academical talent then I think he could do it he'd be in the spantamad for elemental research ☝️

Somehow this is what a 'funeral consultant' would look like in Elliot's head. Calm, well-mannered and with impressive stylish clothes. If he were to guess, this person might be part of Liyue's own kind of aristocracy. The captain nods, because that's exactly what he was looking for. +

"Good afternoon, Master Diluc." his smile is tad awkward as the slime rolls downhill comically. "Please avoid having the slimes start a wildfire around the city..." the slime, after falling pathetically, comes crawling back to diluc for its revenge!

that would've been helpful if not for the fact the slime rolls over leaving a trail of burning grass... He sighs.

he's got errands to get to. But ... there's a pyro slime right past the city gates . . . and he's just waiting for it to leave on its own. For the past 40 minutes. "💦"

no wonder he's scared of Master Diluc ...

(how old is this guy) ..... one of them yes

they should invent the nonbinaries night

Thinking about it, he also doesn't know everything there is to know about fire, so .... He rubs his neck awkwardly. "Yes— I apologize for not introducing myself first. I'm Elliot, Captain of the 8th division of the Knights of Favonius, from Mondstadt." +

He frowns like trying to understand what it meant. It makes little sense to him, not using magic to .... perform magic. "So ... you mean to say that using a vision would be like 'cheating'? Your magic tricks aren't supposed to be magic ... but something else?"

Collects a variety of minerals... but has just a smattering of knowledge? This strikes him as odd, but it is not like he's out to be doubting random people on the streets. Maybe people from Liyue are just that humble. "Mhm..." +

... his turn to be resting against a random rock, lulled to sleep by the warm sunbeams ....

// someday I WILL make rex infodump me about rocks in-character. just you wait

𝐖hose weapon is his 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍. — 𝘞hats in store for today [ #mvrp #genshinrp ]
