Fortress.

MORAX "That's one of the problems. You are not trying very hard, are you? Her son could push her a little, I'll be pushing you instead."
He interrupts himself but Zhongli understands right away who he means. "You saved her, haven't you? She must owe you a lot.
I am not sure it would have been possible. A place like that one is...unnatural. Natural laws don't work there.
If...he doesn't get offended, I guess it can do." Really, Zhongli, have you never called your friends Mountain Shitter and Ass Carver??

Yokai «I have multiple reasons to leave them be. Don't just make assumptions on a matter you don't know.» He can't help but think that his daughters don't want him in their lives.
«I don't see it that way. When you save a child, it's every decent's person duty. She doesn't owe anyone, it's the world who owes her, because that kind of things should never happen to children.»
He clenches his fist. «Then why is a place like that allowed to exist? Why does it exist, who put it there?» Not the gods. XD
«Usually friends insult each others' mother, but he literally doesn't have one.»
When he gathered a load of leaves, he heads back to the room. Lani just finished to check HaoLin.

Lani. «You are back. Perfect timing.»

«I have the leaves.»

Lani. «Ah, those. They are completely useless. I just needed you to get far enough for your grumbling to not bother my hearing.»

TiHao throws all the leaves at Lani, but it's not like they do any damage, they just fell on the floor after hitting him.

Lani. «Look what a mess you've done. Tsk.»

MORAX "I know very little, I agree, but it is also a certainity that if you don't try, you will never know." Unless he asked the Book of If!!
"No child is born to suffer, but it happens way too often...that it was duty or not, I cannot believe she is not grateful to you at all."
He shakes his head slightly. "I will find out, that's for certain.
I don't understand the point of this, why should it be a sign of friendship...but if you say so." Who knows, maybe he will give it a try and be awkward to death. XD
He heads back too and looks at the scene then at HaoLin. "How is he?"

Yokai He looks up at his words, knowing he is right, thus feeling annoyed.
«She doesn't owe me anything. Whether she is grateful or not, that's up to her. I am not going to demand something from any of my children…» He just can't stop feeling guilty for leaving them.

Lani. «He won't need any medicine. Proper rest, washing and a sufficient diet should be enough for him to regain his health. I can monitor him and prescribe some supplements, if needed. Besides, since we are here, the water from the cold springs should be infused with the blessings of the God of Life. It has benefic properties that will certainly do him great good.» He hands TiHao a vial with a special version of enchanted water.
«I am not setting a foot in that freezing water.»

He takes the vial from him, roughly. «I'd drown you in it if you got close.»

Lani. «Then I much better return my precious bottom to where it belongs!»

MORAX "I'm not saying you need to make demands. Meeting them again after a long time, with all the years they had to have a better understanding of everything, doesn't seem a bad thing."
He listens carefully to Lani's explaination on what to do with HaoLin. "I can deal with the cold springs myself if needed." He moves his gaze between Lani and TiHao. "What is that vial?"
