Qiqi...

Are you trying to ask me for something?

will you help qiqi plant this? then she can have more cocogoat milk, yes?

I'm surprised you already know how this all works...

Of course I'll help you plant it. It'll take some time to grow, but it'll definitely give you the coconut milk you like so much. If you run out, I'll get you some more.

baizhu told me about them. thank you, childe. you are one of my favorite friends. [ and the fact that he's willing to help her get more coconut milk should she run out is just the icing on the cake. ]

and you and xingqui are here, which means qiqi isn't alone.

Yes, speaking of which, have you found a place to stay? Will you be staying with Xingqiu?

no, i don't have anywhere. baizhu usually takes care of qiqi. i don't think so... could could i stay with childe?

Of course you can come stay with me. You can stay until we find Dr. Baizhu, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

I'll come get you shortly so you can see your new living quarters. We'll also have to go buy you some things too, if you're up for picking out a new bed for yourself.

thank you, childe. i will remember this.
[ she'll make sure of it. ]

alright, i'll stay here. i don't have any money... do you think i could pick herbs for some?

[ she's not going to let childe do all the work if she can help it. ]

[She's too cute...]

I'm not sure if you'll be able to sell herbs here, but you can bring them to me so I can cook with them. I'll give you an allowance for it too, so don't fret about it, alright?

oh. i can do that. but are you sure that's going to be enough? qiqi doesn't mind working. an allowance? then i can buy my own cocogoat milk, right?

You could, if that's what you choose to spend it on. It's not really fair of me to ask you to work, but I don't mind if you want to help me around the house from time to time, if you insist.

[There's no way he can ask a kid to help him with monetary responsibilities, zombie or not...omg]

i don't mind helping. i like doing things. being active helps qiqi's mind, body, and soul.

Ah, that's right. You need to keep moving before your body begins to lock up a bit on you, don't you?

Alright. You can help Qiqi. I'll find things for you to work on, but I still want you to take plenty of time for yourself, too.

[You know, to give her the life she didn't get to live the first time.]

yes. i need to stay active! thank you, childe. maybe qiqi will make some new friends. and find baizhu too. somebody said there are a lot of people from teyvat here. is that true?

I'm sure you'll make lot of friends while you're here. If you'd like, I can introduce you to some of those I've already met from Teyvat. There is indeed, quite a few of us who've been pulled here, including the traveler.

[None of them are really kids, but Qiqi is used to hanging out with Baizhu, so he's sure she probably won't mind. It's just, he wonders how the others will react to a zombie child...]

I'd say they're all pleasant people, so I'm sure you'll like them. I'll introduce you to Yoimiya too, you'll be seeing her a lot since you'll be staying with me, after all. She's from Inazuma and is a very special person to me, and I'm sure she's going to love you.

another person on this phone mentioned that lots of people from teyvat are here. i would like to meet them. if they're your friends, then i want to get to know them.

[ she doesn't mind making friends with adults. most of them are more patient, and given that qiqi doesn't remember a lot of things it can be frustrating for children. some of them understand though! like yaoyao. ]

yoimiya? she's special to... you...

[ maybe she'll see about finding something nice to give yoimiya. time to wander around the immediate area and look for flowers. there's a lapse in qiqi's responses, because she forgets that she was in the middle of a conversation. oops! ]

i can't wait to meet her. i have something for the both of you.

[For a moment, he gets worried. He knows that Qiqi isn't exactly used to a smartphone at this point, and he's actually pretty proud of her that she was able to figure it out. He's about to message her again before she says something else, his eyebrow raising, wondering what it is that Qiqi has.]

You do? You just now went and got it, didn't you, Qiqi?

[Looks like he should prepare himself to head out and pick her up, slipping his boots on as he waits for her response.]

i do. i found some flowers that i think she might like. or... i hope that she likes. she even found a blue one for you, childe.

[ she's still wandering around in front of the guild, eventually convincing one of the members to help her find a ribbon that she can wrap around their stems to make a proper boquet. ]

i can't wait to show you.

[Goodness, he is touched by Qiqi's kindness here. Now that he's ready, he's already leaving to go get her.]

You hold on tight. I'm coming to pick you up so you can come home. I'll text Yoimiya to make sure she meets us back at home for when you arrive.

i won’t move anymore then. I’ll wait for you to come pick qiqi up. where do you live, i should probably put it in my notebook… just in case i forget

[He texts her his address, including which part of the city it was located and what the nearest teleportation location was as well, just to make doubly sure she doesn't get lost.]

There. I'll see you soon, don't stiffen up on me now before I get there, haha.

[It's a joke, but he hopes that she really doesn't...]
