what do you do for money here?
besides quests.
you like it?

( someone may or may not be realising that she cannot subsist on taking on quests and nothing else, because sometimes none of them sound like your cup of tea. )

( well currently she thinks he's just nerdy, so that's...??? better???

and funeral consultant? nah, she's not even gonna try to imagine herself in that position. )

sideways move. how do they compare?

( in other words: would he rather be consulting still, or...? )

Both require a degree of passion as well as sympathy. To share one's company with an individual can be very pleasing, among the highest of their experiences and their lowest.

They both also involve people. The difference being they are either alive or deceased.

[ Little bit of a joke there. ]

( that's... not what she expected to read as an answer. not that she's really sure what she expected to read at all. those two little sentences push a job she was rolling her eyes at into something a bit deeper. something this version of herself would never be able to do in a million years, but something which earns a small blossom of respect down deep in Kate's chest. )

sounds interesting if you're into that.

( don't let the edgy bullshit fool you, she's just trying to hold onto baked in bad habits as they chip away under the realisation that there really is no reason for her to keep doing things the way she always has. )

[ What a strange choice of words... Zhongli wonders if perhaps he's found himself one of those humans (at least he assumes she's human) that does not quite fit the solid standard he'd initially come to understand of what humanity tends to be like. ]

I've come to appreciate socialization with others in various aspects. It is difficult for me to come across new experiences of my own, and so I seek them from others who share with me their stories and memories.

Forgive my presumption if it is incorrect, but is it perhaps that you do not enjoy people?

( that's... an interesting way of putting it. )

difficult how?

( she kind of gets it. people are interesting, energising. she could have mulled over this problem by herself but asking others gives more insight, ideas, distracts from the places her mind naturally tries to go.

if she knew him better, she might answer this more honestly, but as it stands, the answer he gets is perfunctory. perhaps a bit cliché. )

depends on the person.
