Why? Somethin' happen to your eyes?

[ hm. he frowns, glancing away. ]

Better than I was yesterday. It's good everyone's back.

[midway]

[ ... ]

Would you rather I avoid you?

[clockpunk]

Way to dodge the question, man.

[ sighs, running a hand through his hair. ]

No, but I wouldn't mind some explanations.

[midway]

My eyes are fine. I think it's just an effect of the locations changing.

[ He answered! ]

And you mean for why I killed Zhongli?

[clockpunk]

[ oh. he'll pick up a book - he hadn't actually opened any yet - and immediately set it down. ow. awful. ]

That'd be a start, yeah. [ ... ] And the corndog. That was you, right?

[midway]

Yeah.

[ He thinks for a moment how to answer. ]

I don't really have an explanation for the corndogs. Maybe I wanted to get caught. Maybe I was just delirious from the pain and exertion at that point.

[clockpunk]

You gotta forgive me if I don't entirely buy that. Not that I guess it matters, now.

[ in the tone of someone who thinks it definitely still matters. ]

[midway]

[ help ]

Well, whether you buy it or not, it's the only answer I have. I don't know what else you want me to say.
