[ re: Are we able to meet with you again? I would like to visit your favorite location in the beachside area and speak again. ]
Of course. We're here any time. ᴖ◡ᴖ I'll be at the soundstage on the beach!

[ re: If you are not busy, there's a location in the beachside area that allows one to manifest images from their imagination, yes? I would be able to show you the automatons and engineering projects that I am familiar with. ]
I'm familiar with the place you mean.
Sure, that sounds interesting. Is now a good time?

[ re: Should you have the time, perhaps you wouldn't mind a walk about the newly available area? I'm unfamiliar with much of what's on the boardwalk - perhaps you would have more insight? ]
I have the time, but it's a little new to me, too. We can learn together though. I can meet you there?

[ zhongli can enter the bar, and the first thing he'll notice is there's a new glowing figure behind the counter. they seem to be pulling bottles out of nowhere, placing them in new locations and reorganizing, gold halo hovering behind them. but without turning, they realize someone is there and speak up. ]
Hey, welcome. I'll be with you in a sec, or we've got the self-service option.

[ FOUR OF YOU! ]
No rush. Please, take your time. [ while it initially gives him pause, surprised as he is to see that there's someone behind the bar that isn't yves, he comes up to the bar and settles into a seat. at least he was told yesterday there could be more angels in heaven that they might meet. ]

[ this one does, at least! except by this i do not mean playing any instruments. when zhongli arrives, ramiel is sitting on the stage with their phone, head bobbing side to side to the music coming through the speakers.
enjoy your techno. ]
Hello!
enjoy your techno. ]
Hello!
[ it is debatable what this yahoo is doing, but they seem comfortable here. a few bottles go here, a few glasses there... and when their display seems to be to their satisfaction, they turn to face zhongli. ]
Twenty-four hours a day means I gotta get used to you guys wandering in whenever. [ they don't seem bothered though. ] How can I help you?

Sounds good.
[ that is all they say before they end the text, heading over via train. zhongli might beat them there, but he won't be waiting for long before they slowly approach and wave. ]
It's...Zhongli? [ the way they say this is slow, like they're being careful to pronounce it right and they aren't used to pronouncing names like his. ]

By all means, should I be a customer of yours at any time, you need not rush to my attention. Nearly forty of us - and tipping at least to it, if the other angels are included - is quite the clientele to keep track of for one individual.
May I ask your name, first? [ curious and polite! he folds his hands on the bartop like a good peepaw. ]

I could do you one better and bring mine.
Alright. I'll meet you there, then.
[ and they will, in fact be waiting there, though they've left the room as is with pink clouds ]

[ while he might be there before them, zhongli is very patient and calm while he does. he pockets his phone - having left his long jacket behind, but still wearing the rest of his ensemble - before bowing his head. ]
That's right - and well-said. Thank you for joining me, Zuriel.
[ approx how tall is zuriel's shape compared to peepaw modly i'm gonna ask all of you this ]

It's fine, I'll start getting used to faces easily enough. I'm used to small places where everybody knows everybody.
[ thank you peepaw, how polite. ]
Gabriel works. Good to meet you. How's your stay so far?
[ thank you peepaw, how polite. ]

[ he has had a long life of patience, so this tracks. this is also my favorite question, because zuriel is at least a foot shorter than he is, so they are straight up craning their head back to look at him.
they also seem pleased to have pronounced it correctly, but then quickly brush that off because he does not need to know they were a little nervous of getting it wrong. ]
Sure. We are here to be your guides, even if that means "tour guide." I've never really been to a boardwalk like this, so... it might be nice to see. Ready to go? [ our walkies... ]

Hi, Zhongli.
[ they have their hands behind their back ... holding a mystery item... what could it possibly be ]
So what did you want to start with?

[ always! besides, he's here to make a request. ]
I'm sure we'll be on the road to such a thing before too long, all living amongst each other as we are. Especially with quite the collection of personalities.
[ but a nod of his head. ]
And you, Gabriel. My name is Zhongli. [ just in case. ] It's fairing well so far, now that I... hope that the property destruction has stopped.

[ oh their poor neck... not like zhongli can shrink, but he's kind of used to being surrounded by short people considering hu tao's around him all the time.
there's no attempt to point out their reaction, because that would be impolite, and instead he just smiles lightly, eyes creasing. ]
Liyue Harbor has its run of festivities, but this is a marked difference. I'm interested in seeing what you and I will learn in this. [ walkies! ] Besides, if you're meant to guide us... I'd like to get to know the three of you more, considering we will be spending a great deal of time together.

Yeah, it's... yeah. [ a little sheepish. ] Some of you really know how to make yourselves known around here. But it'll probably mellow out the longer you're here.
[ but they note that name with a nod. ]
Good to meet you. I'm gonna be honest, I'll believe it when I see it. The, uh, end of destruction. But I guess I should be thanking everybody for not totally trashing my bar.
[ the darts are still gone and some billiard balls are missing, but it's fine. ]

[ it's fine, he is not the first tall person they have spent time with. away we go! ]
Eight whole weeks. Very exciting, I'll have you know. [ this is sort of a joke and sort of sarcastic but in a way that says they know everyone has very mixed opinions. ] But nothing says we can't get to know each other. But maybe to start, you could tell me about Liyue Harbor? I've never heard of it.

[ they are... Short. zhongli can enjoy the looming. ]
Let me see the engineering. It'll give me a way to gauge what part of the computer I'd need to explain.
[ though they will show the item behind their back! it is a bulky looking laptop with some stickers on it, including a little dog face and one that says NERD ]
