It's something like that, I suppose. "Spirit" means something a little different where I come from, but from what I've heard from others here, in other worlds what I am is similar to it.
Hmm... that's not exactly an easy question to answer. On the surface, nothing.
[she doesn't seem bothered by the question, although her brow does furrow a little at the brief dip of his smile.]
But... in Teyvat, almost everything is interconnected by Ley Lines that spread across the world. Elemental energy flows within them, and that energy also carries the memories of the world along with it. These Ley Lines are actually the roots of the tree Irminsul, which is a repository for every bit of information and every memory in Teyvat.
And dreams are made up of our own memories, made fantastic by our own minds.
[she smiles.]
As the Dendro Archon, it's my job to look after this tree, and to watch over the dreams of those who dwell in Teyvat.
The seven of us have been out of contact for some time... um, or rather, I was out of contact with them.
[(gazes at the sumeru archon quest)]
...I'm not certain what it is they're doing now, but we all have our roles to play in our world. My duty to watch after Irminsul is only one thread in the tapestry of it all.
Me too. I like it when they struggle, especially if they don't get anywhere.
[normally he would sound more gleeful about this, but he sounds slightly annoyed instead. he can understand humans liking each other (gaross) but SPIRITS who like HUMANS??? nahida please save yourself,
...well, it's true that many of them do rise up to the occasion when things are difficult. [something something insert the voiceline about collei's tenacity shining through like a dazzling gem here.] And you wouldn't really notice it if they always had it easy...

[she can probably go flying further than humans on account of beig so fckin tiny. but it's fine.]
It doesn't apply to you, either. Lee Rang, wasn't it?
no subject
[he tilts his head]
That is, I'm assuming you're some kind of spirit.

[they're just shoved under a spirit umbrella]
What about you?
no subject
...so we're similar in some ways, but different in others.
no subject
What do you have power over?

[it's not a dismissive sound for once, he looks down at Nahida again in this psychedelic bowling alley, eyebrows raised.]
Sounds like you're pulling way more than your share. What do the other Archons even do?
[having powers over different elements, sure, but a tree that's responsible for the entire world?????? what do the other archons do.... sleep???]

And if anything happens to it, the whole world will unravel.
I guess that's the usual for spirits. Stuck with things no one else wants to do, and always for humans.
no subject
They live for such a short time, but they try to do so much...

[normally he would sound more gleeful about this, but he sounds slightly annoyed instead. he can understand humans liking each other (gaross) but SPIRITS who like HUMANS??? nahida please save yourself,

after a moment, she shrugs.]
Are their struggles really so amusing to you?
no subject
Humans shine the most when they're in despair.
[okay chuuni,]
And it's healthy for them.
no subject
yeah.]

no subject
[wow nahida agrees thst humans should suffer... he doesn't think that for real but the idea is funny,]
If a little suffering builds character, then imagine what a lot can do.
no subject
also wow rang lee is out here sounding like calvin's dad.]
So that's your view on it, then...
no subject
Take it as wisdom from someone older than you. [only physically though, case in point] Speaking of, you should try calling me oppa.
