Barbatos.

Morax.

[ Dragging him onto the bed ]

[ Is dragged ]

I did sleep some. Though I do not know if it was restful.

[ Shoving him down onto the pillows, then flopping on top of him for good measure. ]

Second time's the charm, or so I hear.

I also happen to know a lullaby said to ward off nightmares.

[ He is forcibly flopped on the mattress and does not try to fuss again even if the amount of clothes they are both wearing is high above the threshold he thinks appropriate.

A hand comes to rest on the small of Venti's back. ]

Then by all means. Once you are comfortable.

[ > Tries not to fuss
> Emits an aura of fuss anyway

Rolling his eyes and sitting up a bit so he can start pulling Zhongli's outer layers off. Surprisingly gently, compared to his usual. ]

[ He is a very fussy old man.

One that breathes a sigh of relief when he is in less layers. ]

To achieve the best rest, one's body temperature should be kept as a consistent and cool level. That is why thinner and more airy materials are best suited for sleeping clothes.

[ Venti even folds them before setting them aside. Appreciate him. ]

Is this your way of telling me you have fancy silk pajamas?

. . .

You don't?

I've never owned anything fancy in my life, Morax.

I cannot tell if that is a point of pride for you or not.

A statement of fact with no pride or shame attached.

Perhaps you should keep one of your fancy pairs of silks here, though.

Yes, that would be wise. As well as my other daily necessities.

[ Long list that is gonna be. ]

Perhaps you could store some of your own things in my room as well. It would make it simpler when spending the night.

So a toothbrush and . . . um . . .

[ ??

What else is there? ]

. . .

Clothes.

Shampoos and lotions.

Odds and ends that are part of the routine before going to bed and once you awaken.

But I'd have the clothes I came with! And I don't think I've ever used lotion before . . .

Oh! I'll keep an extra lyre there!

[ As if he didn't say anything. ]

I'll procure the items if you do not have any of your own to bring.

Ehehe . . . okay, that's fine too!

[ FREE STUFF ]

[ He gives Venti a very long very considering look.

Before just grabbing at one cheek and pulling. ]

[ WHIIINES ]

Ow ow owwwww-- what is that for?!

[ Flatly: ]

Because I wanted to.

[ Well fine then!!

Rolls off Zhongli and scoots away, rubbing his cheek in protest ]

[ He folds his hands on top of his chest ]

This place is an opportunity to try many new things. You do not have to live as you always did.
