[i saw you say lee rang would be in the bowling alley for someone else so... here we are! nahida is peeking into the bowling alley first and frowning a little at how loud the rave music is, but that doesn't stop her from coming inside.
once she gets further in, though, she sees that someone else is already here! she waves.]
Oh, hello.
[can he even hear her over the music though, that's the question...]
[Rang looks down at Nahida and gets the sort of look where he thinks this is the funniest thing he's seen since waking up here. He raises his hands as if measuring her.]
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.

I think you're just about the same size.
[the same size of what......]
no subject
she'll just ask.]
The same size as what?
no subject
Try tucking your head and arms in.
[she doesn't have to do that]
no subject
No.
no subject
You should be careful. Someone might not take no for an answer and just -- [he mimes a flinging motion] let you fly.
no subject
[go on :) try it :) she dares you :) ]
no subject
[his gaze turns inward like he's reminiscing, then he looks down at Nahida again,]
Guess that doesn't really apply to you though, huh?
no subject
[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.
no subject

no subject
[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?
[he refrains from saying something stupid like 'being small']
no subject
[she does not ask him if he knows what dendro is, because that is common knowledge where she's from.]
no subject
I don't know what that is.
[he's never been to school in his life]
no subject
Plants.

...Talk about random. How are dreams related to plants?

[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...
