He's having some time at a natural hot springs. Thinking he's alone, so he can let his hair down and relax a while.
"Good morning..." He's letting his scales show today.
"How ironic. Though, she has always been quite artistic." He respects Lady Furina a lot.
" I do not believe a word you are saying. Hmph. As for me, it was Lady Furina's idea. "
"I was not flaunting. I just woke up. Unlike you who intentionally did it. Cover yourself. It's shameful for a judge to expose themselves."
" You were purposely flaunting it at people. And yet, you have the nerve to criticise me. "
"Excuse you. I have not bared my chest. If you saw my back from when I awoke, that's on you."
" Said the kettle to the pot. "
"Good morning..." He's letting his scales show today.
"I do indeed. Something to keep me busy during my retirement," He nodded, releasing a soft sigh. "My employer is... eccentric, but she is a good soul nonetheless."
Neuvillette's eyes narrowed when he was called a 'hatchling', but he decided not to address it this time, lest a fight really broke out. The last thing he wanted was to hurt ordinary civilians. " You have a job as well, I see. " Neuvillette's own had been part of his routine for over +
Zhongli at least appreciated that the Hydro Sovereign wasn't going to risk the lives of the ordinary people in his land. He didn't want them to realise "Rex Lapis" was still alive too, for their own sakes. "You are just a hatchling... but one who has inherited a great authority and power."
Neuvillette exhaled through his nostrils. Despite his obvious threats, he'd made no movement to cause a physical fight. At least, not in the middle of the harbour, where innocent bystanders were present. " I see. Though I do not worry, for I only reincarnated five centuries ago. +
"They... can." A soft sigh, shaking his head. "Anything that reaches a great age will be touched by erosion, no matter who or what they are." His thoughts drift back to Azdaha, sealed under the mountains.
" I sincerely doubt a Dragon Sovereign can be affected by erosion. " he stated firmly, eyeing the man from head to toe. " You should count yourself lucky this time. I'm only in Liyue on a forced vacation. "
A deep inhale, a slow exhale. Calmness returning to the old god. "When you reach the age I am, may you never have to deal with the erosion that time brings..."
" Excuses is all I hear. " He tapped his cane on the ground, still staring at the other through narrowed eyes.
"That was different." His tail slammed the ground, small seismic waves shaking the floor beneath their feet. "I was not avoiding judgement, but erosion. I have been a god for a long, long time. And I barely took a break until that recent incident."
" And yet, you refuse to face judgement heads on. Instead, you stage your death and avoid the consequences of your actions. Like a child playing hide and seek. "
"I am aware of what Celestia did." Amber gaze narrowed. "And I am aware of what has been lost to this world."
" Do not patronise me, Deus Auri. You and your kin are the ones who usurped my kin's powers and used them as your own. "
"Child... some of us have been working since way before you came into the living realm."
" That is a pathetic excuse on your part. "
The tail sways lowly, a polite expression on his face despite his apprehension. "I see, how worrying."
Neuvillette knows this, he expected as much from the elusive Morax. " Your judgement day approaches. "
Pauses in his stretch. Oh no. ... Plays dumb. "Good evening."
Stares. " Deus Auri. "
Stretches slowly. Every single joint cracks with the sound of a million fireworks.
The old man has emerged from hibernation.
