[ Kaveh blinks. ]

At... at once?!

[ Okay, so he said he'd have time but he thought he'd... have time to organize that time... ]

[localweirdo]

Yes, at once! You said that you are going to be ready for me at any time, no?

[She said with a giggle or two.]

I might as well start now!

[indigently]

W-Well, yes, but...

I admit I didn't think it would be right away. I do need some time to organize my schedule and my clients...

[localweirdo]

How about tomorrow? Would that be better?

[indigently]

...Sure. I think I can make tomorrow work.

[localweirdo]

Wonderful! Then I shall get packing! Anything I should bring as a housewarming gift?

[indigently]

Ah! No, nothing— I'm not moving anywhere! And we probably won't stop by [ Alhaitham's place ] the place where I live anyway.

[localweirdo]

...The place you live, you say?

[Hmmmmmmmmm.....]

[indigently]

...Yeah?

[ Is there... something weird about that? ]

[localweirdo]

Would you mind if you told me where you live? Perhaps I can give you a surprise gift!

[Hmmm??]

[indigently]

[ Uh
Fuck? ]

Oh, I'm sorry... I don't usually give out my address. Necessary part of being kind of a celebrity!!

[ He hates that term. Celebrity. He's not. And under any other case he would refuse to use the name for himself. But. Well. He needs to get out of this. ASAP. ]

[localweirdo]

[What's this? The sudden turn to text? Did she accidentally hit a nerve?]

A celebrity? I wasn't aware that you were famous back in Sumeru! It makes me wonder if I should get an autograph from you!

[indigently]

[ Anxiety. Anxiety!! ]

I, uh... urgh, Madame Hu... It's just quite like that, it's just..

[localweirdo]

It's just what? Hmmm....?

[She trailed off as she leaned toward the screen. See that smile? It was very obvious now.]

[indigently]

Nothing. NOTHING. Let's, um. Let's change the subject, okay?

[localweirdo]

[...Hmmmmmm.............]

Then very well. What other personal interests should I be aware of before I give you a gift?

[indigently]

Uh...

[ Really, Hu Tao! He doesn't need a gift! ]

I like animals, and machines. And cheese and fruit.

[localweirdo]

[She said she was going to bring something and she was going to stick with it!!]

Machines, animals, cheese, and fruit, huh? Then I'll have to see if I can get something that relates to all of them. If worse comes to worse, I suppose I'll have to give you fruit as per Liyue's traditions!

[indigently]

[ UH. ]

Fruit is fine. Really! I like fruit a lot, I'd be happy with it. Completely happy. Please don't expend too much energy on my account.

[localweirdo]

And why not? Especially since you are a celebrity, hmmmm?

[Nope, still not letting that go!]

[indigently]

Because... because. It's... honestly, all I did was make a famous building and renovate some other famous structures. I probably made it sound bigger than it really is?

[localweirdo]

Even so, it still sounds impressive! Why not give yourself some credit?

[indigently]

Hm. I'll try to remember to do that.

Thanks.

Good to Wrap up?

[localweirdo]

Then very well! I shall see you and bring you whatever you desire!

perfect!

[indigently]

Ah...

[ There's no point in arguing. ]

Okay. I look forward to it, Director Hu.
