If I may pose a hypothetical question.

For a being that has existed many a millenia, what would be information most pertinent to their enjoyment of a... modernized life?

[ Yeah this absolutely has nothing to do with him. He's not 6,000 years old and still doesn't understand how to use the microwave in his inn room, nope. ]

You are already doing well enough to be communicating through it right now. Have you learned how to send text messages yet?

[saxum]

Text... messages... I'm afraid I've not learned.

[ Considering the way he repeats it so slowly, yeah, he definitely has no clue what you're talking about. I mean he knows text is written words and a message is... a message. How do you do that with these phones?? ]

[zazen]

Check your device in just a moment. You should be receiving a notification.

[He types a simple “This is a text message, click the open space on your notification or conversation screen to reply. ]

[saxum]

[ Oh! So that's how that works. He remembers being back in that library and having a young man show him his phone which he was using to communicate with him. He wasn't aware you could send messages to other people over wider distances.

Zhongli soon calls back. ]

I received your text message. I was unaware of this form of communication. It is something similar to sending written word through letters, yes? Simply much more advanced.

[zazen]

Yes, precisely. It is just a form of writing a letter, yet on a screen. Incredible isn't it?

[He wonders...]

Try sending me a message back?

[saxum]

I can give an attempt, I suppose...

[ After a minute to remember how to check the messages and then trying to get used to the whole... letters on little buttons he realizes he. He doesn't know what kind of message to send. ]

[ He's learning. ]

[zazen]

Very good. You will quickly because a professional at text messaging.

[ No, he isn’t teasing. ]

Now, just put spaces between the words.

[ Sending a message back: ]

Like this. 🙂

[saxum]

apology

[ That's right, spaces, he can't have the words all jumbled up! Zhongli takes a while to press a few buttons until he finds the one designated as a space bar. ]

this is better yes ?

[zazen]

Much better, you are learning. Now you are able to communicate with your voice and your text.

[PROUD OF YOU, GEO DAD.]

[saxum]

[zazen]

It is a pleasure, Zhongli. Perhaps we can meet over tea some time?

[saxum]

Yes this sounds to be a wonderful idea . please allow me to serve you as i am well known for the quality of my teas .

[ Be prepared to wait like six whole hours for him to brew it Jakurai. ]

[zazen]

Oh? I would certainly love to try a tea with the quality that yours may hold. Please, tell me when a good time for you is?

[saxum]

I cannot say I find myself occupied very often. any time would be suitable to me . i need only to find the right resources to serve you as my residence within the inn lacks a kitchen for me to use
