❝Greetings. You have reached Kamisato Ayato, however, I seem to be occupied currently. Leave a message and if it is important I'll get back to you.❞

They've already been paid for.

[acquirement]

Yet if you refuse to eat it, is that effort not futile nonetheless?

[acquirement]

That's the way I handled the support group, if you need assistance with the application I'm more than happy to help.

For now, if you're willing to teach locals as well, I know of a few establishments that will be likely open to the offer that may be able to help.

[acquirement]

Then I'll find a way to collect them before they close for the day.

[starryaied]

I guess not.

And it would be a waste too.

...Maybe it just means that I'll have to do better next time.

[mistsplitter]

Would you like to help me prepare it, instead of it being a surprise for you?

[Guizhong, true to her word, collects a few items from the tables by the house and brings them over to where he is. She spreads out a mat on the ground and places her papers on it but has no issue with sitting on the grass herself.

The paper is covered in little drawings. Not the kind of artwork that Ayato himself is producing but rather mechanical designs and sketches with measurements jotted against them.

She also has something she's in the middle of taking apart. It looks like an older model television... or it was at one point.]

The original Realm of Clouds was something I made to house my more... dangerous creations and collections. [Guizhong says as she settles herself down.] But here, I suppose it's more to contain the mess.

[acquirement]

Ah, so you tried to make them?

Can you not add sugar on top to make it more bearable?

{ don't listen ruby, he has no idea. }

[starryaied]

...

I think that will make even worse.

[acquirement]

I can try. I may need to spend some of the evening working, however.

{ since he'll be leaving work early to go to the market... }

[mistsplitter]

I see. I'll be the one to pick up the prawns from the market, then. Please don't worry about the food tonight.

[ See this is what she gets for asking!! She's troubling her brother all the more. ]

[acquirement]

{ he glances over at the notes she has, along with what he can recognise as a television even if it seems older than the ones that were given at the apartments. }

What did you create that was considered dangerous?

[acquirement]

How will you know until you try?

[starryaied]

Please tell me you're joking.

[acquirement]

Do you not need to be at the tea house? I'll make time, not to worry. I can at least sit with you in the kitchen while you cook.

{ he'll just not sleep tonight instead, ayaka doesn't need to know and thoma keeps being away so he won't know either!!!! }

[acquirement]

Why would I be?

[mistsplitter]

The tea house will be alright in Taroumaru's care.

[ Taroumaru is all they need to keep the tea house running. ]

I would rather you did not take home any work with you.

[starryaied]

Are you willing to eat burnt cookies with sugar on top?

[Would you???]

[acquirement]

I certainly can't deny that, can I?

Very well, I'll leave it with you then and help you cook it later.

{ sorry if he ruins it, ayaka......... }

[acquirement]

Everything is worth a try at least once.

[starryaied]

Then come to my place!

Give these cookies a try with sugar on top!

[At first she just gives him a look. Someone from Liyue would not have to ask such a question but he doesn't know enough about her to realise just who he's speaking to right now.

Guizhong straightens up, looking at her sketches.]

In the early days of the Archon War's encroachment into Liyue I made many powerful weapons and artifacts. Some of them too volatile to consider falling into mortal hands.

[acquirement]

I don't think that would be appropriate. Perhaps you could bring one to the park and I'll meet you there?

[starryaied]

That sounds fine. Do you want to meet up right now?

[acquirement]

{ but he isn't from liyue, which is why he listens intently as she explains, his hand pausing in his sketching to give her the attention this conversation deserves. }

I see. I suppose it was important at the time, even if you didn't want it falling into mortal hands? People are after all rather greedy and twisted, it could do more harm than good.
