I'll take advice from someone I'm close to. Even if I don't take that advice, it wouldn't make me mad because I'd know it's because they care. But he and I barely know each other, so really what he's doing is trying to prove how brilliant he is.
[ Drawing a breath, ] Sorry. I didn't want to get into it with you because he's your unitmate. I'd still protect him in a game or whatever, me not liking him doesn't matter for something like that.
Fine. If you must know, there was a time a lovely young lady approached me while I was caught up penning some new verses, so the best I could manage was "Life without you is like a broken quill . . . pointless."
Hmmm~ Well, as revenge for that blow to my ego, I could ask you about things that embarrasses you . . . but something tells me there aren't many of those.
Maybe you get embarrassed if you perceive yourself to like someone more than they like you? Or when you don't act "your age" when you believe you should, whatever that means?

Oh, you overestimate my penchant for good deeds! I'm not doing work without significant emotional investment.
I just like gossip~

Izanagi. [ Wincing a little, not loving that it's Venti's unitmate. ] He doesn't know anything about me but thinks he can give me advice.

Ohhhh, how surprising . . . yes, that is quite a sore spot for you, isn't it.
Actually . . . if it's you two, that sounds like a classic "unstoppable force meets immovable object." Maybe it's not so surprising after all.

How to put it? . . . That's not my business until something makes it so. There's no need to apologize.

TOTALLY BULLSHITfavorite non-Zhongli person status ]I realize now I could have said Tsukasa, but I'd be mostly joking. He's not a bad person, just really tactless.
Your turn, I believe.

[ DRINKS! He's playing this wrong. ]

Worst pickup line you've ever used on someone. That doesn't necessarily mean it failed, since I put nothing past you.

[ A suffering, melodramatic sigh. ]

Well? Did it work? [ Technically he could make her ask next round but come on, she'll be super impressed if it did. ]
no subject
An ensuing performance did, though~

Sorry I don't have any but two memories or I'd just give you my answer to the same question free of charge. So truth.

Doesn't mean I'm just going to list them out. I probably don't even remember all of them.

That's fine. ♪ I'll just discover them for myself in due time. ♪

Want to test it? I'll switch my turn to a dare if you can name three, other than the food thing I already mentioned.

I wouldn't have put it quite like that, but fair enough. One more.

This is only a guess rather than anything with real evidence, but . . .
Perhaps placing your trust in someone when you later feel you shouldn't have?
no subject
I'd have said it was the opposite, but I know better than to doubt you on it.
