[little does Dain know that whatever this magic is has already sunk its claws into Zhongli's psyche, and if he were in a more stable mindset it would be rather concerning all things considered. but much like the previous month and the situation with the Mahougi tree, that concern is replaced by something else, something that Zhongli can't put his finger on. he supposes he should have been more wary about these things after last month, but, well... here he is.
at the sound of Dain's voice, Zhongli turns his attention to the man; he doesn't speak for a moment, his face unreadable. perhaps he's trying to sort out his thoughts amid the cloying haze of the moon's effects and the hunger he can't quite seem to fill, before he lets out a long breath and speaks]
Yes... I have noticed this. But it does beg the question as to why you are not heeding your own warning.
[Zhongli's words and face are calm, but he can feel the tufts of fur lining his tail bristle slightly, as if his body is telling him to keep his guard up]
