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. ]

I can't believe I led off with explaining indoor plumbing to a being like that.

[Though for once in his life, his self-consciousness about it is at a minimum. It's too amusing to be deeply embarrassed about, and this godly being he's audio chatting with here hasn't talked down to him or laughed at him yet. That helps.]

[saxum]

[ There's a quiet laugh, but he's hardly laughing at him. ]

But you have explained something quite fascinating to me, which I truly appreciate. I've only just decided to live as a mortal, and so I've yet to fully understand what grand things mortals have created. Even someone as old as me has not stopped learning.

[impostorsyndrome]

Maybe next you'll learn having higher standards for riveting conversational topics.

[But despite himself, he's smiling too; he's just like this, unable to resist the opportunity to take a jab at himself.]

How were you living before? I guess that explains how you've been alive all this time but you're only just now asking. I'd wondered.

[saxum]

I am always willing to discuss many things. I've much knowledge to share of my own.

[ It just gets awkward when he has to discuss things like history and such, like wow Zhongli, how do you know about all these things that are years, centuries old?? ]

I would say I lived as an observer. My status did not allow me the opportunity to be amongst mortals. Only recently has that changed.

[ Just going to... not say anything in regards to being a God, one who faked his own death. ]

Of course, I am still immortal, thus I've no need of human necessities such as sleep or food. However this does not mean I cannot appreciate human indulgences. I quite enjoy tea.

[impostorsyndrome]

Yeah, I get it. There are spirits like that along those lines where I come from. Just because they don't need sleep and food doesn't mean they can't partake in it.

[Heroic Spirits are lucky enough to get some downloaded-in knowledge about the modern world with their summoning, though, so to speak. No needing to explain showers to them. So whatever this guy is, he's not that . . . his "status" sure makes him sound like he was something higher level, though. Someone important.]

But tea's one of those ancient things that never seems to go away in any era. People got it right the first time for once, I guess.
