Why is it that, once you finally get a break, rather than taking a rest, you instead come to me? Is it that you want to hear one of my stories?

I'm stood outside your metaphorical doorstep, ringing the bell. Ring ring, it's time for a check-up. A house call.

[lonesummit]

[Shit.

Zhongli doesn't respond right away, quickly grabbing his coat to wear it over his shoulder, obscuring his arm.]

I see. One moment, I'll be right there.

[Well he supposes he'll go and check the door.]

Hello?

[unfinishedsymphony]

[ Wilbur is sitting in the hotel lobby, so hopefully Zhongli exited his dorm to check there. Wilbur raises a hand in greeting, rather than rising to meet him. one of his legs is stretched out onto a foot rest, though Wilbur isn't otherwise reclining or spreading out on the couch. ]

Yo! The man of the hour! Or the man of a lot of hours ago. Same fucking difference. How's the aftermath treating you?

[lonesummit]

[He will eventually make his way out there. He's bad at texting anyway.]

Ah...

All is well. I've heard there were no fatalities, and while I regret the injuries sustained, it does look like the populace will recover. Furthermore, we have much yet to ponder over the results, haven't we?

[unfinishedsymphony]

Yeah. Our formerly faceless warden came out to see the show. And now we know for sure— we know her hide-out isn't in here with us. It's out there.

[lonesummit]

Out there, in the darkness, with the beasts.

They were quite overwhelming in number and strength.

[He pauses then to think on that.]

So what are your plans going forward?

[unfinishedsymphony]

I was considering, heavily considering taking credit. The warden knows, of course.

But now that we've proved we're more than talk, that we're ready to take action, well. I think we might be a more attractive prospect. For all that everyone talks a big game, who actually made strides forward? Us.

We did, you and I, we've proved we're men of action. Us, and the rest of the Solidarity.

[lonesummit]

I will not attempt to deceive others in my involvement, should I be asked.

[He did not participate in the lying game for a reason.]

We should also prepare for the possibility that this will result in retaliation from the Warden, rather than her being more open to negotiation. Tell me, Wilbur, what would your immediate demands be? I may be currently in your employ, but as our contract stipulates, we must all be made aware of the movements of the group.

[unfinishedsymphony]

My immediate demands are more information.
