Xiangling is unfairly cute. First, it was her puppy-dog eyes that did Keqing in, and now it’s the way she lights right up. There’s a little moment, right as she steals that kiss, that she considers chasing her mouth for another one, but…
They’ll have plenty of time for that, won’t they? Especially once the effects of her dumplings kick in. In that regard, it might be a good thing that she didn’t linger for long.
So, Keqing is quick to follow her lead; she cradles one of the dumplings between her fingers and takes her first bite, savoring the… oddly familiar flavor of it. She’d expected it to be different, somehow, from the Jade Parcels she’s so familiar with, but maybe that was a mistake. Maybe the effect the peppers will have on them, and their color, are the only things that separate them from regular Jueyun Chilis? Stranger things have happened in Liyue, probably…
“I wouldn’t have expected anything less from you, Xiangling.” Another dainty, little bite— as one might expect, from the Yuheng— and she adds, “do you… happen to know how long it’s going to take?”
Another bite. She reaches for a second dumpling, and tries to decide if she’s feeling any different.
“For it to…” … get them hot? No, she can’t say it like that. “… y- you know.”
