INDEPENDENT + VERY SELECTIVE Baizhu of genshin impact. this blog was ESTABLISHED 8/08/21 and is being ran BY SQUIRE! blog will be sporadic to low activity.  Much of this portrayal will be head-canon and changed as more information about our ever shady doctor comes out.

Gaze shot to the small creature perched upon the man’s shoulders, brows furrowing at the fact the snake had gone unnoticed by the vishap until this moment. A pleasant addition to this man’s character, if a creature of the wild could trust him so implicitly as to be worn as an adornment. “No need to silence yourself…Changsheng, I welcome all thoughts of the people of Liyue, no matter how harsh. I simply do not see the harm in demonstrating some affection to those who crave it. Humans have always been so selective in displaying such an emotion, as if they can only give it to one person, it is a shame.” Humorous so in the fact the doctor had found a like minded creature as a friend to parrot his own thoughts.

Shoulders rolled back as hands settled  into an easy position folded on the small of his back. “You have turned this conversation away from yourself quite quickly, while I commend you on this talent I did come in order to learn of you, not rattle on about myself. But I am Azhdaha, not an adeptis, but a creature that had sworn to protect the people of Liyue under the late Rex Lapis all the same. I have been absent for quite some time, which is why I sought you out, Mr. Baizhu, to see what has changed in your field.”

The round red eyes seem to slant, with a silent look to Baizhu who only chuckled as he moved away drawing across the small pharmacy to pull out the chair at the small desk at the side of the room. 

       ❛❛ So, you are a magical being much like the Adepti, who is sworn              to protect Liyue, much like the Adepti-- but you’re not an Adepti              you are-- Azhdaha.  An enormous dragon as ancient as the              mountains themselves. From an age that has all but faded from              memory, he who stood shoulder to shoulder with one who ruled               over a harbor of stone. But in the end, the two came into conflict,               and the dragon was banished to a dark place deep underground.                          --- If I remember the legend correctly?

He sits slowly down, a slight fuzziness coming to his mind. Usually the first sign that he should retire soon. If he got up and left, he was sure to be hounded by this supposed dragon the whole way. And-- further if he did keep under stress of being followed it might lead to a fainting spell. His ego won’t allow it. So he sits, hands threading fingers together against the desk’s surface.

              ❛❛ So you’ve finished doing ‘your time’ then decided to turn over a new                       leaf and play nice? Strange, a creature known in legend to be one                       to cause such a ruckus is down here preaching about free-love                        and wanting to learn about medicine of all things. Do  you plan to go                       around healing people?

It came as a pleasant surprise, the moment of silence that the doctor had gifted them. Reassurance that he was actually mulling over the discussion, not simply spitting forth the first witty comment that came to his mind. And the other’s rebuttal brought the smallest of a smirk to his lips, having seemed to trumped his level of understanding.

A shrug, hand moved to rub at his chin as he attempted to find the best way to describe himself. “Understandable, relationships do take quite a bit of effort and possess the tendency to force sides to sacrifice something of themself. Why would I deny a mortal’s affection for me? I would do anything for Liyue, showing someone affection takes so little from me and would provide the other party with a great deal of happiness I would imagine.” Azhdaha chuckled, swatting in the air to ward off the other’s hand coming towards him.

“You are dedicated to your work, that is noble. Does it bring you great joy then? Medicine?”

                       ‘ Are you sure you’re not the one who’s attention starved? ‘

Came a little voice. A hand lifts, shushing the white snake who rests across his shoulders, little white scaled head aiming at Azhdaha with judging eyes.

           ❛❛ Now Changsheng, that’s one of the thoughts you’re                  suppose to keep in your head. Remember?                  You don’t want to be rude. If he wants to give himself                  so freely to anyone who asks, that’s his business. Not yours. He gently chides the animal before straightening his back and setting his snake like gaze upon the larger man. A slow tilt of his head, as his ever present smile appears along his lips.     ❛❛ Though, I must say. When you put it that way, it does make it appear         you don’t value your own tastes. Should you just give yourself to anyone         in Liyue who asks. You should at least like the other person to take up         such an offer. Or else you could lead a poor mortal to heartbreak.

          I’ve been avoiding asking but, are you an Adeptus?           You aren’t one I recognize.

“One could imagine all forms of interest to be a sign of flattery.” The sudden change in the doctor’s attitude towards him was quite confusing, having never been on the receiving end of any encounter of human romantic intentions, no matter how subtle or laced in sarcasm.

“I did not seek you out in order to court you, but if that is what you desire, then so be it, although I have my qualms about the level of any compatibility.” All Azhdaha had desired was  to learn about this man’s skills, yet here he was feeling quite run in circles. A hand moved to rub at his forehead where a horn met with dark skin. “If you were as passionate about your work as you claimed then why would you have an issue sharing your abilities with me? Is it mora you require to be passionate?”

He stares. Eyes become hidden behind the white reflective light hitting the lenses of his glasses. Did he just....hear him right? Did he agree to...what was it... court him? ...........He was expecting this tall stranger to burst into a fit of denial, not--- suddenly jump to the ‘challenge’ that Baizhu was CERTAINLY not proposing. Was this a joke? He continues to stare at the other man as he speaks. No. This guy doesn’t seem smart enough turn the tables and play a such a joke on him in return. Then. What-- what was happening here? He spirals within his own mind before a white scaled tail jabs him lightly against the neck, snapping him out of his prolonged judgement. .

      ❛❛  So, you’d be mistaken.         To think I desire such a thing. I don’t have time for romantic encounters,         so save yourself the trouble. Also-- who just agrees to court someone?          Just out of the blue like that? Are you alright? Perhaps there’s something         wrong with you after all? Let me feel your forehead--

One supposed he might be asking questions that crossed the line of intrusion, but the being found it difficult to curb his desire to absorb as much as he could. To make up for lost time.

“Fine, I understand the strife of being at the beck and call of those who cannot help themselves, but -” The vishap was cut off, teeth grinded angrily together in a thin form of self restraint. “I would not be a student, but a silent observer. I do not wish to find another doctor, you were hailed as one of the best, if not the most unique in Liyue. My interest in you is supposed to be regarded as flattery, not something to irritate you!” A huff as he attempted to choose his words carefully, cognizant of his current state. This man was hardly acting as he was to be expected.

“And what if I had an ailment, would you suddenly change your mind about speaking to me in such a manner?”

Is that amusement flickering across the Doctor’s face? No, of course nooooot. His ever present smile lingers, sharp golden eyes glinting behind his glasses. Baizhu keeps up his image, acting nonchalant as he lifts one arm to gracefully fold it across his waist, the elbow of the other resting against the back of his other hand. Suddenly this stranger seems all the more interesting. Or maybe the good doctor was a minor sadist. He’ll play with this man just a little more.

     ❛❛ Interest in me? As flattery? Why hadn’t I noticed it before!           I apologize, though, no matter how good looking you are, I’m           much too busy to take anyone on a date.           You see my practice comes first. I’m very passionate about it.                                     If you were sick... well,                                     I would direct you to my apprentice, Gui.

Vision - ah yes - the green colored crystal at his hip had not immediately drawn his attention due to its rarity in shade.

“Is your gift the ability to diagnosis merely upon sight? Such an extraordinary talent sounds almost wasted if you are so troublesome to pin down.” A huff, no need to become flustered by jumping to assumptions, Azhdaha. “I am not ill, I simply heard you were the best. Even if other ‘needless’ rumors claimed your methods were peculiar, I wished to attempt to learn a few things from you.”

       ❛❛ What I do with my ‘gift’ is my own business. I do have my own life to live              outside of bending to every beck and call of mildly curious strangers.              Usually those looking for me, have an actual reason-- usually pressing.

Fingers lift, middle digit readjusting the glasses resting upon the bridge of his nose.

           ❛❛ I already have a student. I have no need for another, especially one who seeks out my practice on whim. Apologies. I’m sure you can find another doctor who’s in need of an extra pair of hands.

“I would be honored if you shared it with me, but it is not what I was seeking no. Simply finding your existence was a difficult task enough, however much humility you may be attempting to portray. A pharmacist and business owner…is it a stretch of the truth to claim you can help those who have not yet found remedies for themselves? I would hate to insult your level of talent.” 

          My my, this guy sure talked excessively politely. It kind of annoys the doctor.           Not that he allows it to show whatsoever.

        ❛❛ Well, I do try to help. I’m no miracle worker. But with my vision, I suppose               you could say I am ...blessed, with a greater ability of healing than most.               But I digress, here you’ve tracked me down from all the needless rumors               of Liyue.                                 Tell me, are you afflicted by something?                                  You look rather healthy at first glance.

“You are a difficult man to acquire your name from the hearts of strangers, though they all speak of your talent to cure the most unusual of ailments?” 

         ❛❛ Well that’s a strange way of asking for a name. You are asking for it, yes?                 Mn? Unusual ailments...? I’m more meager than what the rumors say,                I assure you.                 I’m just a simple pharmacist. Certainly nothing                that note worthy.
