It's a remarkably slow day at Bubu Pharmacy-- a good omen, to be sure. No doctor wishes to see his community suffer, even at the cost of his own business; and besides, there will always be busy times in a city so large. Baizhu's health, too, is in good form, and so he sits beside Gui while he builds his prescriptions like precise cartography, murmuring with idle chatter every now and then.
When golden eyes raise at a ghost of movement in his peripheral, he finds himself mildly surprised at the very special visitor who appears to be approaching the stairs leading to the pharmacy doors. He's quick to tidy up, mentioning to Gui that this is something best handled by himself, personally. After all, he isn't currently seeing patients, nor is he bedridden.
❝Good afternoon,❞ he greets pleasantly, his curiosity piqued. He hasn't lost any patients recently, so he can only speculate the reason for the other's visit. ❝Is there something I can help you with? There is tea prepared, if it interests you.❞
"Greetings to you, Doctor."
As always, the consultant is walking in with only poise and otherwordly elegance, suit without a single wrinkle, despite having reached the end of his work day. Something to be carried on everyone who is part of the funeral home, but especially noticeable on Zhongli Xiansheng.
Sharp amber eyes look around the room to the aforementioned tea as he walks towards the doctor, with a slowness which seemingly weights the world to a pause, like every inch that meets his gaze is being caressed. He is, in fact, taking in every detail, and remembering them, so he can act accordingly.
"Tea? Thank you for the offer, but I would not want to steal the rest of your day by forcing you into exchange pleasantries. I just wished to give you this form, feel free to consult it at your leisure, I would not want to interrupt your routine."
From the inside of his coat, Zhongli gently pulls out a small scroll, which he sets on the table as to not be forceful onto the doctor.
"The content is quite bureaucratic, but to summarize it, there is an expedition to be made in the Chasm to study the Abyss influence found within, and I was tasked as a consultant to both ensure safety and lead the way. However, the commission explicitly require for any specialist participating to undergo a medical examination before stepping in. I am in perfect health, but I could not talk my way out of it. Have you been busy, as of late?"
