Offerings.

After talking with the new girl, she heads back to the palace with the letter and the offering she gave for Rex Lapis. She doesn't know if there is actually a temple or an altar for offerings in the palace, but she doubts it, so she simply decides to go to the King to hand him the stuff herself. She would never steal the hairpin.

In fact, she also intended to see Zhongli for another reason and decided to go straight to him now and handle both matters at the same time.
She arrives at his residence a little while after dinner time, when the kids are already bed.

MORAX "No...but I will be more on guard after he managed to sneak outside.
And WooPil is solved. Now Hoon and something small for Yangie.
Who, Hudie..? Well...maybe they need more time. Your friend can be tough to deal with." They are all awkward in their own way.
He takes a breath, hoping she'll forget about it. He doesn't want conflicts over a misunderstanding. XD
"WooPil really likes kitchen. He could have fun with one of these...oh?" He moves his gaze from the toys to her. "You'd do it? I'm sure that would make him very happy!" Even he is enthusiastic. XD

CloudRetainer «That was a serious misdeed, way too dangerous to tolerate…» Even she can't defend the kids, there.
«Does Yang not like sleepwear too?»

Cyno. «We should get WooPil at least one toy too, though. He never asks for anything, Yang already has so many more than him…» Even if he is well aware that it's WooPil's own fault for.not.taking profit like Yang!!
«I guess they didn't tag along with each others. They both have particular personalities»

«As long as Xiao will not begin to cuss in every sentence he speaks.» Xiao should know not to dare in front of mommy.
«Of course, one could. It is not even complicated in the slightest. If such thing can bring joy to the child, one will create it with delight», she says, determined to prove she can do better than those fake plastic boxes.

MORAX "Yes...indeed I didn't go easy on them." The only thing he didn't do was even giving them a gift for the deed. XD
"Uhm...lately he likes to sleep with nothing on...since Xiao let him do it. Maybe he can appreciate a pillow.
Sure, It's his birthday. We should give him at least one gift each.
Of course they do..." He sighs, still speechless about Hudie. XD
"Usually Xiao doesn't swear. I hope he doesn't start..." He is already going a dangerous path with Aventurine. XD
"Very well. I'm happy you can do such a thing...he so loves helping me out cooking."

CloudRetainer «Good… children should never leave home by themselves, one cannot think about all the dangers the might have encountered on their way…» At least WooPil was innocent for real!!

Cyno. «He sleeps naked?» He sounds and looks baffled by that. «Doesn't he feel cold?»

«One will not tolerate such thing. Xiao better watch his words in one's presence, or one will be forced to discipline him!» Xiao is only a 3k year old child surrounded by bad influences!!
«What a sweetheart. One saw the child is very creative and especially fond of you.»

MORAX "Indeed, regardless our criminality is very low, they could have come across the wrong people..." He takes a breath.
He shrugs. "I tried to tell him, but he must be valuing freedom above cold." XD
"Don't be harsh, we don't know if he actually started to show unproper behaviours..." He pats her shoulder.
"Yes...I have to admit our bond is unlike any other..."
