Communion with Zhongli always feels a little like this.

[ Come morning during early in the second half of Pelu, Zhongli will find a box has been delivered and waiting outside of his door. A fanciful card sits on top, and in elegant script reads:

Esteemed Bearer,

Please accept this token of our sincerest gratitude and proof of your efforts to combat the Blight's spread. Your assistance in procuring the flower specimens is greatly appreciated. The included mixture, when diluted in water, has been shown to slow the progression of the disease when ingested or spread directly over a degrading object. Though we still have much work to do, we will continue to experiment in hopes that this will lead us to a permanent cure.

Yours,

Yuri Vogen
Greenwood Yards

Inside the box sits another decorative floral box - and inside that is a vial of a shimmering, blue-green mixture. True to word, if ingested by a person suffering from the Blight or spread over an object succumbing to its effects, it will considerably slow the progress of the affliction. There are enough for three dosages.

Next time Zhongli visits Greenwood Yards, he will also find he is greeted with great warmth - and offered his choices of gourmet spices that are renowned by and highly sought after all high-brow restaurants and eateries in Highstorm. He can keep and use them in cooking to elevate any meal (which will also have relaxing, sedating effects - like a good cup of chamomile tea, nothing excessive!), or he can sell them for a pretty penny. ]

[ The next time Master Vogen and his associates find themselves working late into the night working either on behalf of the Greenwood Yards or for researching the Blight, they will also find a fresh pot of home cooked soup (a simple but filling recipe taught to Zhongli by the God of the Stove popular during their nomadic period) in the break room for the staff to enjoy that uses some of the spices selected.

With warmest regards, Zhongli ]
