Then we should set a time and date, whenever we're both free, perhaps after work if you'd like? [ Zhongli's got plenty of free time and can definitely make some for the other man. ]

No there's nothing to laugh at. Such sentiments are something that I find rather endearing and charming, to say the least. To protect those you care about is nothing to be embarrassed over. [ In fact it's this kind of thing that's made Zhongli like the other man so much. Humans and their kindness are unparalleled it seems and that's also why he's found himself enjoying their company so much here. To want to protect something that much, to have that resolve to do so, things like that are what Zhongli loves the most about humans and humanity in general. ]

I know that I do not have to repay your kindness but- [ hm. Zhongli will set his hot cup of tea down before he moves towards the other, reaching out to cup Sannan's cheek with a gloved hand before he presses a light and fleeting kiss to the other man's lips. He looks bemused as he pulls away. ] -perhaps that will suffice.
