I see. [Here's Zhongli actually scratching his chin as he thinks.] Well, you can always ask him if he's seen them. They're quite the striking pair, after all.
And the Traveler does indeed travel light. [What with Madam Ping's teapot and all.] I'm sure whichever gift you may want to offer will be highly appreciated.
[She said with a smile and a long pause. Of course, that didn't stop her from leaning a little closer to Zhongli as she waited to see what he would say. Because...?
[He could not help the slight huff of a breath—yes, a laugh—at the Director's energy. There's just something about it that is both infectious and exasperating.]
Of course, why wouldn't I be? It's not every day we get to celebrate the birthday of my dearest consultant! You can think of it as a wonderous celebration of all the things we have done in the past year too!
[She said before giving a small hum to herself. Even with her merely little tune, the pause she gave grew a bit melachonlic.]
Or perhaps this could be seen as me thanking you for helping me out too.
[Though who knows, with how things are going? At the stand, Zhongli introduced Little Lu to his boss, asking, first and foremost, how his father faired. Not so bad, improving plenty, though it was a joke in the family how he could retire now that Lu had gotten the hang of business.]
[The moment they entered the stall, all Hu Tao could do was raise an eyebrow or two who was doing small talk. At the same time, all she could do was give a sigh before shaking her head.]
Which makes me wonder how long you might have until then!
[Hmmmmm....!!]
No worries I've been swamped w work. Hope you're feeling better!
Ah, yes, Director, you were wanting to check on young Lu's wares, correct? He does have two wonderful tea sets on display. Perhaps you can take a look?
[Yes. Yes. Look at the tea sets, Hu Tao.]
Yes I have! Hopefully work has slowed down for you!

But that doesn't mean I can't talk to them, no? Especially when there is something that you want!

Enough where he can handle a few things from me?

Oh? Such as...?

[And then there was a dramatic pause or two.]
Although, the better question right now is do you think I'm being serious or not?

Although, it makes me wonder if he has seen the Traveler lately too. What a shame, I was hoping to give them something too.

I was planning on telling them to give you something for your birthday, that's all!

A sigh.]
Ah. If that's the case, and considering the Traveler is very busy, just their presence one day would be enough.

[She gave a giggle or two. As she walked happily with her arms swinging from side to side.]
Who knows, maybe they might even sing you a tune! Wouldn't that be lovely in a room?

I see you're looking forward to this.

[She narrowed her eye at him.]
And you do plan on continuing to work for me for a couple more years, right?
LMAO V FAIR
[Shaking his head, slightly amused.] I don't have plans to change my working status, Director.

[Hmmm.....]
Especially when I'm sure you have a couple more years for you.

Retirement does sound wonderful.
Sorry for the late! I got sick

Indeed, I was! Although, this is your birthday gift. Shouldn't it be you to look around and see which one you like?
