Fucking hell... [Of course the goblin of a god would be involved. Why would he bother, though?] I don't imagine he gave you a decent reason for that jump, did he...
[He checks for his Vision, for his weapon, satisfied that everything is exactly where he left it before he suddenly fell on his face through a whole missing chunk of his life.] Come on. Let's get out of this damn place before I fall over. If Zhongli's around, I'd like to find out where he is. He said he was from around here. [The change in temperature and scent and the sound of lapping water just makes him want to gag, anyway.]
Something like... soul degradation? Which, honestly, is not very reassuring to hear.
[Nothing like the fear of her soul caving in before anything else, especially considering her kinds soul issues in general. But she doesn't appear too bothered, instead nodding in agreement with leaving - even if him saying how he would fall over is a biiiit concerning to hear. Don't make her carry you again -]
That's the other issue. I haven't seen him at all since we arrived here... I think he might be laying low since he's pretending to be dead.
[Just ~god shenanigans~. But she's already leading the way out, lowkey keeping an eye on Lutha for now.]
Huh? What are you talking about, he's - [Wait. Most of the group only found out on the way to Liyue, so of course he wouldn't know.
She trails off, thinking of how to word this. So she just goes the blunt route.]
Right, you wouldn't know.... Well, Zhongli is actually Rex Lapis, or Morax, the god here. But he "died" during a ceremony, so he's not been around much.
That is a lot to take in at once when he had just been under the impression that Zhongli was just a cryptic old soul from old money with zero mind for how to use said money appropriately....]
What the fuck... [Why are all the gods here like this ana he is so tired...] This whole time he's just been sitting around with us and he didn't bother saying anything???
How did you find out? Did Forneus know about this??
But ah. Right. He doesn't know about fog island either. TIME TO PROBABLY CONFUSE HIM EVEN MORE -]
Forneus does know, that ass knows everything. [Pause.] And I know because I met Zhongli before here. We were on some... weirdass fog island, and I still had my powers then, so I could tell he was a god.

what x2
???
Soul degradation he can at least file away into "shit to punch a god over", but what the fuck was that second thing hello stop please]
What?? Why the hell would someone like him need to fake his own death? Who did he piss off?
[Guess who STILL doesn't know that Zhongli is a god.]
