[ Fox flavor is becoming the norm with Siffrin so woe be upon thee, even though said fella is currently... well, napping in the library. Honk shoo mimimimi. ]
[ oh that's a BABY FOX. zhongli is dragonified still, but as he's coming into the library he slows, pointier and longer ears twitching as he sees that siffrin is asleep. rather than rousing the lil fella, he moves to shrug out of his jacket and very, very carefully drape it over them as a makeshift blanket. trying not to disturb, for now, as he heads over to the shelf section he was coming in here to peruse.
But they stir at the weight, the sounds of quiet steps enough to stir them awake. Either a light sleeper or maybe not completely out. Rubs at their eye, blinking groggily over. Looks down at this jacket with confusion after. ]
[ Courtyard shenanigans! Which Siffrin so far just seems to be the same appearance wise but their expressions are definitely more animated. Peering up around at the giant chess first and honestly they're so short these pieces seem extra large than normal. ]
[ peers with in interest... there's an Energy here with siffrin but he can't put his finger on it right away. ]
A bit amusing. [ thinks of his gnosis as he raps his knuckles against the rook. ] I like a good game of xiangqi, myself, so it feels as if there should be other pieces we might use in lieu of these.
[ That's fair, Siffrin has always smiley by default before, and is of course still the same but their expressions show a bit more outside the simple smiles. ]
"Xiangqi"? [ A hum.. looking around. ] Probably. We can explore some more and see.
[ Huh. Some of that word sounds familiar. Have they heard it before? ]
If there are checkers of this size, it feels like it'll be a big work out. [ Said with amusement. They'll both be working those pieces! Also big pieces make it harder to cheat. ] Still sounds fun, shall we go see?
[ this is the second hospital escapee that he's run into. ]
... Siffrin, is it wise for you to be out of bed.
[ zhongli tries not to sound too disapproving, but there's no masking the concern as he spots them attempting to flee from their room. he's holding a serving tray with a teapot on top of it in one hand, and was going to knock, but. he spots the red-stained white and stops. ]
[ On Yves, Marcoh and Jiaoqiu. Unfortunately they're frazzled and the more alert they are, they are stubborn to seeing for themselves that the rest of the group is okay. And also because being away from them feels like they're unraveling at the seams. At least they're mostly bandaged and taken care of even if they shouldn't be pushing their body right away. ]
If I get a wheelchair, will you allow me to take you to them? [ while he hasn't been on one of these trips, he understands, in a way. the need to see your people, after going through something horrific together. ] That way you need not push yourself, and worry them in the process.
[ A deep frown, and it isn't Zhongli's fault or anything, his kindness is there as ever but. ]
I don't need one. [ Stubborn as they are. But also not wanting to appear fragile enough to need one. They still can walk, their legs work enough they can move so they should move. ] I can walk just fine.
[ despite the concern, and the frown on his own face - zhongli does incline his head slightly, before going to set down the tray on the nearest surface. ]
I'll walk with you, then, to be certain. The four of you arrived in a terrible state, and in a dangerous way. Your legs may carry you, but another part of your body might protest.
..Okay. [ They won't argue against that. And their body is definitely protesting moving, but they won't begin to settle until they can see everyone else. ]

[ this is so cute... i love you siffrin. his head tilts slightly, and he straightens more to survey the chessf ield. ]
Maybe we can find some checkers tokens, at the very least, or make a few. [ or buy giant ones. ]
