You have my thanks, [Zhongli repeats, his amber eyes reflecting genuine appreciation as he settles comfortably on the makeshift cushion. The worn pillows may lack the opulence of his former abode, but in this humble setting, they offer a welcome touch of comfort.
As Neuvillette tends to the fire, rearranging the logs with the metal poker, Zhongli allows his gaze to wander around the cabin. The idea of breaking furniture for firewood does cross his mind, but he understands the delicate balance between warmth and propriety. Fontaine's reputation must be upheld, even in the face of the biting cold.]
Oh? I appreciate the thought, Monsieur, [Zhongli's tone is thoughtful, cautious. This may err on the side of a breach of contract, despite this lodging being given by that Bard. Still, desperate times lean towards desperate measures.] I believe it would be best to refrain from dismantling the furniture. We might find a more suitable solution when the need arises.
