The biting Snezhnayan wind howls outside, but inside, a different chill prevails. Childe’s voice cuts through the silence, laced with sudden panic as he spots the small, shivering form of Zhongli. The Geo Archon, reduced to a chunky, serpentine dragon, trembles visibly. In a swift motion, Childe scoops the golden-maned creature into his arms, wrapping his jacket around the scales to trap warmth. Zhongli instinctively nuzzles into the Russian’s chest, seeking comfort in the only heat source available, while the weight of their strange, temporary exile settles heavily between them.
