Then what did you mean?

[Maybe later on in her life she would take on that air that Childe expected to see but right now she's a woman who has barely just escaped ten years of slavery, someone who would have no idea of what lay ahead of her were it not for this place and is still trying to come to terms with just how much her future actions will shape Mondstadt in a thousand years to come. It's a heavy and humbling thing to know that even after so many years she will still be remembered.

And she takes no insult to any lack of reverence Childe might show. After all, she sees herself only as a person and he is right in thinking she wouldn't demand such deference. If she ever became that kind of person, wouldn't she be just as bad as the nobles that she would fight to overthrow?]

And I'm afraid I can't help what you expected. [She shrugs then, giving a helpless little smile.] I can only be what I am. If you're disappointed, then...

[Another, slightly smaller shrug. She hasn't dropped the smile.]

I want to do the right thing for the people. No one was more surprised than me to find my name is still spoken so fondly a thousand years later.
