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. ]

Hello
.

i'm crying

[mysophobic]

[ That sure was a response...Shigeru can't help but huff out a small laugh before he finally replies. ]

Hello! Um. Do you need some help? I could maybe stop by...and show you how to use your device if you'd like?

he's doing his best

[saxum]

i am still learning to use the text message thank you for help you are not required to help i should learn like this will take some time to put the letters with the buttons like writing but not writing

shigeru believes in him!!

[mysophobic]

[ Writing huh? Oh!! ]

Well, there is a function that lets you write words and it turns them into text? If you're still not comfortable with using the keyboard. You just need a stylus but it works with your finger too. It might be a bit hard to do it just with your finger though...

[saxum]

stylus what is stylus can one use finger as if it were pen with ink

[mysophobic]

A stylus is exactly that! It's a pen without ink and it's mainly used for phones like this. But yeah! You can also just use your finger, but it is kind of hard. Even I'm not really good at it and I use my device all the time to talk!

[saxum]

you talk with device not with voice why

[mysophobic]

Oh! Well I. I'm mute! So I...I can't actually talk! But these things have been a lifesaver for me. My magic also lets me talk telepathically to people, which is really useful and pretty cool!!

[saxum]

i understand i am happy to see you have found a way to communicate with others so that your voice has not truly become silenced

[mysophobic]

Technology really is something, huh? But I also want to help you so you can communicate better with these things as well!

I can give some lessons in person if no one's offered to do so yet?

[saxum]

if you could help me in person i believe that would be best please thank you i have a pressing matter that i must fix by learning some things with this phone do you have time now

[mysophobic]

Leave it to me! Just tell me your address and I can come over right now!

[saxum]

[ Address...? Oh, he means where he lives. ]

i do not reside within my home often . please meet me where the city ends and the forest known as broceliande begins

[mysophobic]

[ What else would he mean, Zhongli!!! But Shigeru has to pause at that. Why doesn't he live in a house?! Is he like...Riou? ]

Okay! I'll be right there, just you wait!

[ A true to his word Shigeru will be wandering down that road to the forest looking for Zhongli. He probably should have asked what he looked like?? Whoops. ]

[saxum]

[ Are you calling him homeless?? He has a room at the inn! He just... is rarely ever there. Just because he's supposed to be living like a mortal doesn't mean he's used to the concept of staying in a house. He's immortal, he doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep.

He much prefer spends his time outside exploring. It might appear as if Zhongli is nowhere to be found, but that's because you're looking on land. Soon, a voice calls out, from... above? ]

Here!

[ From high in the sky a figure slowly begins descending downward, accompanied with his seelie familiar, which is the first to touch base upon where Shigeru waits. The little yellow blob greets Shigeru with a happy noise then begins to circle around him. ]

[mysophobic]

[ He's not!! It's just...strange, that's all. Shigeru isn't good with the outdoors though so he doesn't really get it. He would rather not be outside and makes an effort to keep his time to a minimum.

Shigeru will jump slightly at the sudden voice above him?! Excuse you?! He might watch as the small blood descended faster than its master his attention entirely taken off of Zhongli (sorry zl but Seelie is cute af) as he lets out an amused huff at the Seelie's antics.

It's so cute, what the fuck?! Shigeru's never seen anything quite like it so he'll just happily watch the little guy as he waits for Zhongli. He'll even offer up a gloved hand for the Seelie to settle on, should it feel brave enough to do so. ]

[saxum]

[ Hey, it's hard to ignore a Seelie, Zhongli takes no offense. The Seelie is more than willing to settle on Shigeru's hand, giving a wiggle as if to make itself cozy while Zhongli descends from the sky until his feet are back on solid ground. ]

Thank you for your willingness to meet me so far beyond the city. Are you well?

[mysophobic]

[ Oh my god it's so cute?! Shigeru will just huff out a laugh as he idly pets the little creature now nestled in his hand. If it wasn't Zhongli's familiar he'd totally steal it...

Though he does stop once he's gotten the attention of a rather handsome?! man. Why is everyone here so good-looking...

He gives Zhongli a smile and a wave, typing quickly with one hand on his device. ]

I'm doing okay! And it's no trouble at all! We have to help each other here, right? Being from all sorts of worlds there's bound to be things people aren't familiar with.

What are you doing so far out from the city though?

[saxum]

[ Excuse you Shigeru get your own seelie?? Or at least ask if you can babysit. Zhongli doesn't pay much mind to what's going on though he's noticing more and more how much his seelie very much likes attention from humans and the like. Though they're solitary beings, they'll always willingly welcome the presence of another to lead them to particular locations.

He leans in to read the message. Well, it's not so much being from another world but also that Zhongli's... old. ]

I enjoy travel. This land is vast and still holds many wonders I've yet to see, so I've taken to walking as often as I can. Though, due to the abilities I have been granted, on occasion I do not have to walk, as you just witnessed.

[ That's cheating, Zhongli. ]

[mysophobic]

[ He would if he could!!! He would get like 10 of them!!

Shigeru can get behind that thought process though. He enjoys traveling, not having the chance or opportunity to do much of it when he was younger and his phobia at its peak, so being able to manage and handle it now as he's older is really nice?!

He does give an amused laugh as he looks back up at the sky texting something quickly for Zhongli to read. ] I really like traveling too. Because of my phobia, I never went outside much. But having a better handle on it from when I was little definitely helped. I have a lot of new ground to cover in terms of drawing so that also motivates me!

[ But!! He knew Zhongli looked familiar... ] We met at that big library, didn't we?! It's nice to run into you again! Zhongli, right?

[saxum]

[ As he looks over the next series of texts Shigeru shows him again, something in particular stands out to him. Phobia. Hm, he doesn't believe this was mentioned before. Might it have something to do with his muteness as well? It's a shame though that such a terrible assortment of illnesses should plight him, he seems like such a kind man. ]

Yes. You are Shigeru. It is a pleasure to meet with you once more. I had not anticipated I would be receiving your help in this manner.

[ By this point his seelie has pretty much... dozed off on Shigeru. Or nearby him at least. It's just floating in one spot, barely moving, the white blob in the center flattened out almost like a shut eye. Zhongli chuckles at the sight. ]

I'm afraid my companion has grown weary from accompanying my travels. Shall we return to the town, then?

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru does startle and blink a little as he looks at the cute thing floating near him. He lets out a huff and nods happily as he points back towards the town. ]

It's so cute...but yes that's fine! It's starting to get dark anyway so it's probably for the better to head back.

We can...stop by my place and I can make us something to eat. You're probably hungry from traveling, right?

[saxum]

[ He has to pause for a moment. He's never really ever hungry, but he can't exactly outright say that. ]

I do not possess very much of an appetite, however it would be rude of me to decline hospitality. Please treat me as you would see fit, as your guest.

[mysophobic]

You don't? Well, that's okay! Maybe I can just make us some tea then? Do you like tea or coffee? Or neither?

[saxum]

I am most amenable to tea, thank you.
