Glaze Lily: Very well.
Glaze Lily: I shall see you soon.

[ And even though Doctor can certainly let himself in, the door to Heart Soldier is held open by one dragon aibou who is waiting for Doctor to come out of the elevator ]

[happydreamed]

[The dragon aibou gets a pat on the head for being so helpful as Doctor arrives.]

I'm home.

[leaveofabsence]

[ The dragon mrrrrrrrrs in response, shutting the door behind Doctor and disappearing in a poof of golden smoke, it's task finished.

Zhongli is at the table and pulls out a chair for him to sit, two freshly brewed cups of tea prepared of course ]

Do you feel a little better? After drinking, I mean.

[happydreamed]

I do. Caeli was kind enough to let me join him and Aliza for a bit.

[Taking the offered chair and sipping his tea.] Delicious as always, Zhongli.

[leaveofabsence]

. . . Did the three of you spar?

[happydreamed]

I left before that part of the evening got underway. I'm not much for sparring as stress relief, myself.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Nods.

He also leaves sparring to Caeli's more energetic parties. ]

So that means now that they are drunken sparring?

[happydreamed]

Tipsy sparring might be more accurate. They both have excellent tolerance, especially now that I've gotten Aliza to take a blood transfusion.

[leaveofabsence]

Tipsy sparring then. As long as they are both enjoying themselves.

[happydreamed]

It helps them relieve stress, so as long as it works for them, I've no complaints.

[leaveofabsence]

Then shall us two old men relieve stress in a way that works for us?

[happydreamed]

I would be delighted to.

[Takes another sip of tea.]

[leaveofabsence]

I know tea is a good start, but what other hobbies do you have, Doctor?

[happydreamed]

Hmm... Well, I enjoy reading. I've patronized Tokyo-F's library many times.

[leaveofabsence]

Are there particular subjects that catch your interest?

[happydreamed]

I've a weakness for trashy romance novels, I must admit.

[leaveofabsence]

Oh? The kind with a happy ending?

[happydreamed]

The best kind.

[leaveofabsence]

Hmmmmm.

[ Sips thoughtfully on his tea. ]

Have you ever been to the theatre here?

[happydreamed]

Not yet. Would you like to go sometime?

[leaveofabsence]

I would. Let us see the most romantic play that Hell has to offer.

[happydreamed]

Would you not rather bring Caeli for such an excursion...?

[leaveofabsence]

His type of theater is dramatic. Which is not to say that he could not enjoy a romantic production. But he would probably prefer one with some form of combat scene.

[happydreamed]

Ah, I see. I don't mind more action-based productions myself, but they sometimes move too quickly for me to keep track of.

[leaveofabsence]

They do move at quite a quick pass.

Besides, perhaps such a play will give me ideas on how I might spoil my partner. It is always good to get new perspectives and see what the youth consider romance in this age.
