I am...trying to find my way home.

[ Or at least to Mondstadt, which he supposes has to count for that currently. ]

I was told you may have wisdom to offer on that matter.

[pragmatism]

Home...

[ Guizhong taps her chin thoughtfully. Home can be many places, many things. This young man has the aura of power around him, which tells her that he's definitely not human. ]

Where is your home?

[vayuda]

The Jueyun Karst. [ As much as anything, he supposes. ]

But for now, I seek a way to Mondstadt.

[pragmatism]

[ Jueyun, she has heard of. Mondstadt, not so much. ]

I know not where that is, young one. If you seek a place to stay, you can shelter here.

[ She puts aside her work, rising from her seat. Guizhong is not very tall; she's a little shorter than Xiao, so she has to look up. ]

[vayuda]

This...will do for now.

[ He supposes. He looks around, before he has to ask: ]

Is the...Lord of Geo around? [ In this time and place...shouldn't he be? ]

[pragmatism]

[ Guizhong doesn't seem surprised at Xiao knowing about the Lord of Geo. Morax's fame as a protector is what drove many people to come to the Guili Plains, after all. ]

He went out for a patrol. If you want an audience with him, you will need to wait here until he returns.

[ She's perfectly happy to introduce the two. It'll help Xiao out, she's sure. ]

What is your name?

[vayuda]

Xiao. [ That's it, that's the name. But he's fine with waiting if Zhongli will come back eventually...

...was he Rex Lapis back then? Now? Xiao doesn't know for certain. It was a term of respect that enemies in a war wouldn't use. ]

I will wait, then. You are...the Lord of Dust. [ Yes? ]

[pragmatism]

Yes, I am.

[ She inclines her head, pleased to be recognized. ]

Together, we protect this city and guide its people. All are welcome to seek shelter here.
