[As Jusis reads this text, he suddenly feels... very tired. Maybe taking the whole month off in December isn't a bad idea after all. Still, the headaches and complications are worth Zhongli's freedom.]

This is excellent news. I appreciate the update, Shroud.

That said, this news about their violent dispute is worrying. I doubt that the stubborn man will take any sort of offer of help in this situation. If anything, he might downplay it as "deserving what was coming."

[He's going to strangle this old lizard, he swears.]

I'll take this time to think on a course of action and what options we have available to us. Regardless of Zhongli's personal feelings, if this continues, the lives of the people here will be at stake and that's not a price I'm willing to pay.

[Take that time off Jusis. You have more than earned it. ]

Yes, he said something along those lines when I spoke with him about the matter. I think to him, convincing himself he's "guilty" of something he's not is easier than dealing with grief.

I understand and you have my agreement. As I've told Zhongli, while I'm under contract to assist him with Azhdaha, he is not the God I serve. Should either of them seek to revive the divine wars of Teyvat's past in this world in a way that may harm others, I may intervene with more than just words.

[JUST. PUTTING THAT OUT THERE.]
