[ nu can u change the bird emoji to 🦉 please so we can look like a problematic(?) gnshn twitter ship thank u 🥺
ANYWAY GIANT SHARKMAN... tbqh diluc's first instinct was to fight him for mat drops, but he's since learned from observation sidon is a friend! he thinks. he hasn't had a chance to speak to him in person. now he does! in the... showers!! ]
...Is something the matter?
[ waits for mod response to my very important shower q ]
anyway because diluc is a gentleman he feels as if he should not look at sidon in the shower? but sidon literally took off his suit in front of god and everyone yesterday, so technically he's been naked this entire time, ]
...Is it?
[ it would be weird to offer sidon some of his own shower (diluc is in a stall too ig), and anyway it turns off on him mid-sentence ] I've not noticed—
[ he also does not press the button again. operating Machines is solely link's responsibility and he is not used to it. man did not step foot in vah ruta. ]
[ genshin: this young man is a child prodigy, master of chess, unmatched in every possible way. me: haha. idiod. ]
I don't see why not.
[ he wraps a towel around his waist before he ventures over to the other stall. presses button. gets (more) wet. ]
It's working.
[ he steps out of the way so sidon can take his place. he still has some soap suds clinging to him, but he's in no danger of his proverbial scales drying out. ]
[ sidon is so cute... diluc is so sorry he ever thought you were a beastiary monster...
he just assumes that's all the water they'll get (hehe, stoopid,) so he goes off a short distance to retrieve his towel and dry himself, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE WEIRD TO JUST STAND THERE AND WATCH SIDON! (that said it's actually kinda like watching a puppy play in the sprinklers... that sort of energy...) ]
[ it's okay, he can really continue thinking of him as a monster. even if he's just Some Guy. please someone kill him for being a monster.
he's still in the shower, but he's still conversational as he answers diluc. this isn't really an intimate scene or anything, to him. it really is closer to someone running through the sprinklers than anything else. ]
I will be! Though you are not the first to be concerned.
[ which is very sweet. ]
I think, perhaps—people believe I am a fish? [ he sounds amused, rather than offended. it's an understandable mistake. ] But Zora often live outside of the water. It is no trouble, even if I will miss the Great Spring.

he does not drop any mats unless you want to steal his stupid cravat!! diluc looks like he could use a cravat.
he turns, uncomfortably, towards diluc. ]
It seems... the water here is rationed?
no subject
you're right about the cravat and i hate that

anyway he's barely less naked now, but he does have his canon-appropriate accessories at least. ]
It was hardly any time at all! [ how is a fish supposed to live under these conditions ] Perhaps there are no reservoirs in "space"...
no subject
It must've been four, five minutes at best.
[ taking mental note. ]
...Will the next stall work?
[ it does not occur to him yet to simply. press the button again. ]
no subject
Oh! Will you try?
[ WATCHES HIM ]

Oh! For me? Thank you!
[ he'd argue a little, but he doesn't want to waste any precious water, so it's back to squeezing beside the showerhead. ]
You didn't need to give up your spot for me—I'm moved, dear stranger!

I... see. [ he do not see. ]
...I believe you may be able to conjure a similar—if not identical environment in the simulation chamber. If you're feeling homesick.
