I'm happy to indulge in the curiosity. [however, zhongli neglects to realize a little wrinkle-- how vision bearers feel about such things. he's well aware that some wield theirs like power and privilege, rising up above the rest and bringing others with them, like ningguang. and on the other hand, the young lady from mond gives herself to protect and help others. that's why he chose them.

but he's failing to think of what the humans think and feel.

he's just... diving right in.

zhongli pulls a rock from his pocket-- it looks no different from a regular one, pockmarked by acid rain and looking terrible, but clearly zhongli knows better.]

See this? It looks unassuming, but look closely. [as he holds it in the middle of his palm, he sends a little pulse of geo through his hand, making the rock break into two clean halves, revealing a hint of teal among the grey.] Some copper, though not enough to be used for anything significant. I found this when you found me.

Would you like to know how a select few wield abilities such as mine?
