She met his eyes.
"was it worth it? was it worth your life?"
He didn't hesitate; "Yes"
She had expected that answer. She changed the question.
"was it worth your death?"
The raven looked on, taking in the picture of bones. A grave marked with the Corvus. She'd watched over him since that day.
He didn't say it. But she could tell, she could feel it. Flashes of bright green, scalpels, and burning cold in his soul.
He didn't say it. Still, she knew it.
"No"
Recently read the fic worth the war underneath my skin by @underforeversgrace got really inspired by it. This drawing doesn't have anything really to do with the fic it was just the inspiration! Fics still fkn dope tho and i recommend it lol

holy crap girl you got a damn jackpot.
you probably have the biggest patience because it will take a long time for xiao and zhongli to even realize their feelings.
listen, these two will treat you so well and make sure you’re happy. your relationship is the kind of relationship that everyone wants but can’t have.
i can’t really see xiao and zhongli rivaling but they try to work out on how they’ll make this relationship work (with your help ofc)
the relationship needs to be kept a secret since xiao is a yaksha and zhongli is rex lapis, so the three of you can’t hang out together in the harbor or anywhere that has a lot of people around.
sometimes xiao would sneak in to liyue harbor and to your home just to see you— but your meeting place is always the inn.
verr goldet is one of the people who are aware of your relationship and she makes sure no one can bother y’all or see you together.
the three of you would take a stroll around the area of wangshu inn at night (after xiao and zhongli made sure that there won’t be any monsters to disturb yall’s night) and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
dates with them are very fun and open.
if you and zhongli are available for the whole day, the three of you would go to the adeptus mountains and have a picnic there to watch the beautiful view of the geo nation.
sometimes you’d also have your date on mt. tianheng where you can see the whole harbor or in wangshu inn as per usual.
zhongli would def feed you lots of seafoods whenever his food has it (he hates it) and xiao will make sure the consultant-retired-god doesn’t feed you too much to the point when it makes you hate seafood as well.
zhongli and xiao would walk you home by the end of your date. they’ll swoon if you give them a goodbye kiss before leaving!
there were some days when you are only with one of them for the day since the other is busy.
if xiao is busy having to do something regarding to some threat to liyue, you’d be with zhongli.
with you and zhongli, the both of you would be in liyue harbor hanging out by having lunch in wanmin restaurant, shop around the marketplace (pls prevent zhongli from emptying his wallet), stroll around the town, and etc.
if zhongli is ever busy with his job in the wangsheng funeral parlor, you’re with xiao. often, the both of you would just stay by the top floor and enjoy the calming breeze. you’d also talk about your day or a random topic while xiao listens and comments when he wants to.
if you’re an adventurer, xiao will follow you (discreetly) depending on how dangerous the commissions are. he and zhongli have a share of knowing death and they both want you to never be involved with it.
if you try to tell xiao about your suspicions of him following you, he’ll probably deny it and say he’s “too busy protecting liyue and it’s probably your imagination.”
whenever you got bad injuries to the point where you need first aid, zhongli will happily nurse you while xiao lightly scolds you about being more careful.
since it’s their first time having a relationship, you’d mostly have to be the one to establish affection first.
it will take months or maybe a year for them to get used to these affections. once they’re used to it, they’ll start giving you lots of affection!
they’re the type of people to give you love through action and not words.
when it comes to their favorite way of showing affection, xiao is usually the one who likes to hold your hand while zhongli likes to give you kisses, mainly on the forehead.
when you are sad, they’ll try to find ways to make you happy. whether it’d be listening to you venting while cuddling, a break from what makes you sad (depending on the cause), give you gifts, or take you to your favorite place.
f in chat for the people who made you cry or sad, they’re gonna deal with the wrath of two powerful immortal (and mortal since zhongli is yknow...)
they’ll be very protective over you when it comes to the fatui— especially if childe is around. zhongli may have interacted with the fatui but he does not want you to be involved with them. which puts another reason why the three of you often hang out in the wangshu inn.
xiao will literally obliterate childe if he ever touches you (even though it’s just a high five or a friendly hug) if it weren’t for zhongli holding him back lmfao
as i mentioned in my liyue headcanon, fights with them are rare. however when there is a fight, it’s serious.
i can’t say what most of your fights are about since all of them are different but when you all fight, you try to solve it.
if they somehow made you walk out from them after a fight, they’ll apologize the next day with all of your favorite foods, trinkets, flowers, or maybe something that makes you forgive them.
your most memorable moment of them is your first lantern rite festival when you three watch the lanterns together by the mountain near the harbor.
their most memorable moment of you is your first date when you went to one of the mountains and have a picnic with them.
sometimes if you can’t sleep, you’d either visit zhongli and xiao— mostly zhongli since xiao is in wangshu inn. zhongli would give you tea to help you sleep and let you sleep with him.
if you’re up for late night talks, expect zhongli to tell you all of the stories he knows that he thinks that are interesting to you. his voice often lulls you to sleep.
if xiao is in your home, he’ll either listen to your rants or play his flute to you to lull you to sleep. if you’re okay with it, he’s willing to give you cuddles.
if there’s one thing zhongli and xiao worries most, it’s your mortality.
zhongli may be mortal now so it’s xiao who’s gonna have that burden most.
xiao has that vibe that he isn’t the type for a poly relationship when zhongli suggested but now that he experienced it, he’s scared of you and zhongli passing away.
i think he’ll know that zhongli is rex lapis (either from his suspicions or it was an accidental discovery) so that makes him even more worried on losing the both of you.
xiao would most likely go for a breakup just to save all of you from this worry— but thinking of having to avoid you just makes him wanna barf.
for now, when all is well and liyue is peaceful at the moment— xiao will just hold on to this relationship that he would consider as a sweet dream.
