[ eiden is here in the museum today with his sketchbook and pencil, dressed in a little ikea fit. he was going to come sketch some things, but has ended up wandering because like... damn this place is weird. ]
[she... looks fascinated, honestly. she knew there were worlds other than teyvat, but being able to learn about the history of so many of them ... well, she's going to be spending a lot of time here.]
There's so much to see. Let's look at this one!
[it's not touch week, but she reaches up to take him by the hand and lead him over to a porcelain sculpture of a pug.]
Apparently, a secret society was formed by Klemens August, the Duke of Bavaria, in 1740. It was called the Order of the Pug, which they picked as a symbol of loyalty, trustworthiness, and steadfastness. You had to be Roman Catholic to join, but they allowed both men and women in their ranks. New members were initiated by, um... wearing dog collars and scratching at the door. They would be blindfolded while older members barked at them and... umm, this is kind of weird. Are all Catholics this weird?
[hit enter too soon help. anyway thank you for the history facts, article about 125 weird history things.]
[ he is going with her immediately because why not! he laughs and takes her hand, not at all minding, walking with her over to the pug and enjoying his literal museum ted talk as told by nahida. nice. ]
... You know, Nahida... yeah. I think all Catholics are weird. [ he snorts ] Didn't expect to hear that though. Sheesh.
They definitely have some like big shame thing going on
[the part she did not finish reading said that new initiates had to kiss the porcelain pug's backside beneat its tail as a sign of loyalty. i literally cannot make this shit up.]
Yeah. Their noses weren't all scrunched up like that at all. [ i mean, we have phones so he will pull up a picture to show her! ] They had longer muzzles, and longer legs, but were ultimately bred so that they'd end up like... you know. That.

I wonder why that is...
no subject
[ he is reading the plaque and he cannot tell at all if this is true or false but like. it sounds pretty true for catholic guilt. ]
Man, these people were weird. At least the pug is cute?
no subject
Yes. They could have picked a more bizarre mascot.

Pugs. Man, they really picked an animal that can't breathe right either. All that inbreeding.
