Against the unknown.


Blade manages to make Elton reason and go to talk to the King. In the meantime, he is taken to the hospital where Qi figures out his wounds are not healing the slightest and realizes It is a curse, starting to see what he can do about it.

Zhongli, when explained the situation, is not too surprised. He was hoping to keep Coco safe, but he had to leave the teapot. He ponders what to do and decides a plan with the others.
Zhongli shows them where Ash is and with their help, they manage to comunicate with Verfall for a time and a place.

The meeting is outside the walls, near the old lake.

Caireen «Are you sure that the two things are compatible? Even in these small numbers, auriold do not seem to be well predisposed into following a righteous path. The more established their kin will return to be, the more confident they will feel in defying everything.»
She nods once. «We are colleagues and not particularly fond of each others.» Realistically, there is probably no one who really likes her, outside the orphanage.
«She is not his daughter», she promptly replies, hinting at what might be going on between them.
She is going to do.something that will.probably upset Zhongli and shake him in the very foundations.of his being: she takes out her phone. «I can be easily contacted.»

MORAX "People can be influenced, they can be given the right example. The change has to start from the youngest, who needs to be shown right away the path of kindness and respect." It is good Verfall didn't join or he'd be laughing.
"Understood..." He then raises a brow. "She is not..?" He remains silent and thoughtful at it, disturbed by the matter. "Dear me... there has to be something we can do for her..." He mutters in a low tone.
He has a moment of stun. "You have one of these devilry as well..." He is a simple old man, of course he'll call any technology an devilry.

Caireen «You seem to have very high hopes. I envy your good will and positivity.» Or she would if she could actually perceive her feelings.
«She is not», she repeats, slowly. «Such distasteful obsession towards that girl is disturbing, but I believe that only her can put an end to it all, unless she finds it convenient, in some form.» She is all for the girl killing the man, but she can't really interfere personally in the matter.
She tilts her head at his reaction, put the phone back and puts a magic mail amulet on the table. Maybe Zhongli prefers even more traditional means, like postmen!!

MORAX "You have to start somewhere, why not in a place where people had to learn to cooperate and ignore their differences to survive. I know people find my dream unrealistic, but that might be the reason why things don't easily change. People do not believe it to be possible.
Yes, it is. She has to be underage too..." He finds it disturbing. "From the look on her face, I don't know...it doesn't seem like she is taking profit of the situation. It might be impossible to get to her now." He shuts his eyes, not wanting to give up. "My niece has about the same age...
That's more a method I am familiar with..." He is relieved she brings up that amulet. XD

Caireen «It may be possible, I can not know. It is not up to me to tell, only time will show the results.» She wouldn't mind if Zhongli made his dream come true.
«She most likely is underaged. She is the closest to him, she is the most suitable candidate to end him, especially if his existence is of bother to her.» She has a pretty harsh way to see things.
«Very well, then. I should return to my children.» She stands up and glances at Coco.

Coco. He doesn't look at her. «I'm not coming back to the orphanage…» He'd rather be on the streets in Guyun.

«Should you change your mind, your home will always be there for you.» She starts to walk away.
