[[ ooc: Deliberately vague because I still need to write up the contract between Zhongli and Yima aha...]]
Nothing that I have not negotiated for before.
[ Though Zhongli hoped he had put in place enough contingencies this time around that it would not turn out like the contract he had with other more powerful entities in Teyvat. But even if the die did fall as such that was a risk and a consequence that he had been willing to make. For better or for worse.
He'd spent the better part of three months unharmonized, desperately adhering to a fragile hope that aiding the others with his wisdom alone would have been enough. But like all worlds, protecting people required a certain amount of strength along with strategy, and eventually he had been forced to choose one or the other. ]
It is not a choice that I made lightly, nor did I think it was one that I would have to make.
At their core, both sides offer the same - the powers from our individual worlds with the power to advance them as well as a cause to believe in order to keep at bay the despair of why we are here in the first place.
There is more that I wish to tell you---
[ That old Liyue saying "the walls have ears." Especially at the heart of Lady Yima's city and abode. ]
Perhaps you'd allow me to be your guide again around Highstorm.
