[ Peering at the pictures ]

Oh dear.

Yes, that's the one.

[leaveofabsence]

I watched him and Xiao spar so I can attest to his ability as a fighter.

However, he also seemed concerned that people would default to see him in a negative light, which is why I was present.

I assume you have more pieces to this puzzle than I.

[outofoffice]

Mmmmm . . .

[ This might be one of the most judgemental sounds Morax has ever heard him make. ]

He's married to someone on my unit, and was holding him captive until we helped him escape during the most recent game. It's a marriage of cruelty and coercion, with one of the most appalling "contracts" I've ever heard of.

He gave my unitmate an ultimatum to hand himself over willingly or forfeit the lives of the rest of sensitIV. I cannot emphasize enough how much the former isn't going to happen.

[leaveofabsence]

I see.

So he is a tyrant desperately trying to collect what he believes is rightfully his.

[outofoffice]

That's exactly the case, yes.

[leaveofabsence]

Then the other members of SensitIV! require protection as well.

[outofoffice]

Yes.

Though some are choosing to simply not leave the dorm -- I'm afraid I can't quite abide by such lengths myself.

[ He would go insane and drag everyone else down with him. ]

[leaveofabsence]

I can see. While certainly a solution, since we have no idea how long that the guest stars will be here, it is certainly not one I can advocate for.

Besides the obvious fact that no one should be a prisoner in their own homes for as much as this place is already a prison.

[outofoffice]

It would be so boring.

All the excitement is happening elsewhere.

[leaveofabsence]

I was not aware that excitement was something that you longed for.

[outofoffice]

It's certainly preferable to sitting around staring at the same walls all day.

[leaveofabsence]

Perhaps one of the first places I should escort you is to the library. In case you do find yourself spending a lot of time in the dorms in the coming days...

[outofoffice]

Are you free right now?

[leaveofabsence]

I am.

Shall I escort you then?

[outofoffice]

Please do, my dashing knight~

Ohh, I wander if I should give you a Favonian title?

[leaveofabsence]

[ He laughs at that, almost charmed. ]

It would only be fair, considering the title that Liyue bestowed upon you.

1/3

[outofoffice]

Hmmmm . . . hmmm . . .

[ Giving this the exact amount of thought you would expect from a poet ]

[outofoffice]

[ His wings abruptly flutter ]

--Aha!!!

[outofoffice]

Well then, Morax, as unofficial benefactor of the Knights of Favonius, I dub thee . . .

The Dragon Fang Knight!

[leaveofabsence]

[ Cute. . . ]

Well then, shall we be off, The Perfected Lord who Sings Beautiful Songs and Roams among the People?

[ Somehow these titles don't seem equivalent ]

[outofoffice]

[ That's Mondstadt vs. Liyue for you!

Grinning stupidly ]

We shall.

[leaveofabsence]

[ And heading out of the dorms ]

This time I shall show you the train system properly. It's quite convenient.

[outofoffice]

[ Trotting along beside him, utterly unconcerned about potential looming death ]

Ehe . . . how like you to be so excited about advances in transit.

[leaveofabsence]

[ Why should he be? He has an unkillable zombie archon at his side now. ]

It's fascinating. Imagine if all people - not just Vision holders - could travel to Mondstadt in a matter of hours.

[outofoffice]

[ Barking out a laugh ]

That's what wind gliders are for, silly!
