✧ A/NOTE. I started thinning about how easy arlecchino could probably carry me... mmm
EULA uses her claymore as a dance partner occasionally. She may not look extremely muscular, but she has insane strength. She swings her weapon, which is more than double her weight around like nothing. Lifting you with just one arm is easy to her — and if you get giggly about it, she will be blushing.
DILUC is another one who throws his claymore around like absolutely nothing. In fact, he can use his claymore with one hand. Carrying you is nothing. He doesn't quite understand why you want him to carry you around on one arm, but if it makes you happy, he's happy to oblige.
ALBEDO does not look it. In fact, he frequently gets offers to help carry heavy equipment from the knights. He does not need it. He isn't human, and his strength shows it. Does that mean he will carry you with one arm? Probably not. But he certainly can.
ZHONGLI goes on the list without a doubt. He's as solid as stone, after all. He has no issue carrying you around for hours at a time even with just one arm and is the physically strongest on the list. He might make a joke about having you try carrying him with one arm.
SHENHE is still human, but her strength is insane. I mean, she managed to carry that floating jade all by herself. Despite her human constitution, she's stronger than a good portion of the adepti. She can't say she understands why you want her to carry you around on one arm, but she doesn't understand a lot of human courting rituals and won't complain.
XIAO is so sweet about it. He's a little hesitant at first, but once you convince him, he'll make sure you're comfortable. Wouldn't you be comfortable if he carried you with both arms? No? Okay... He'll let you stay there as long as you want.
XIANYUN is an adepti as well. Even if she doesn't look it, she does easily have more strength than humans and doesn't struggle carrying multiple tons of metal. You weigh practically nothing to her — even in her bird form. She can, but she won't lift you with one hand, and would much rather carry you in her adeptal form.
GANYU can. She just doesn't think so. She doesn't want to end up disappointing you if she fails! It'll take her some convincing, but when she does she will lift you up. She does struggle a little. Whether it's because she can't, or because of her nerves, you can't say but she does manage!
CHILDE is a pretty string guy, and the added strength he gets from the foul legacy makes it easy. Will like the idea even more than you do, and will refuse to set you down once he has you steady on his right arm. Might even make a challenge out of it and try fighting a bunch of hilichurls carrying you with one arm.
ARATAKI ITTO is, well, an oni. He's capable of slamming through stones like it's nothing. There's no doubt that he has the physical strength to carry you. The issue is that it's probably not a good idea to ask him, too. Odds are, he'll grow distracted or get scared and end up dropping you on accident.
YAE MIKO is another yokai with a lot of physical strength. For a yokai, she's actually pretty weak for yokai standards, but she's certainly still capable of lifting you up. Not that she will. Odds are, she'll find a way to have you carry her on one arm instead. If you succeed, she'll maybe return the favor — but if you fail she'll tut at you. Why should she carry you if you can't do it for her?
YUMEMIZUKI MIZUKI will probably just use her abilities to make you lighter so she can do it. She'll ask you a bunch of questions before she agrees to it, but she will. If you tell her that using her ability is cheating, she'll simply shrug. And then refuses to try again. She's lifting you with one arm, isn't she? She'll shoot you a teasing smile as she tells you that you should be happy with what you get. You'll never be sure if she has the actual strength to carry you with one arm or not.
ALHAITHAM, despite his feeable scholar attempts, has crazy strength. He can certainly carry you with one arm, but asking him will only result in a raised eyebrow and him telling you to stop wasting your time on such nonsense. Pester him enough, and he'll give in and settle you up on his shoulder. Another one who will make some smart-ass comment about how you should return the favor, but he won't actually let you try. Sadly.
CYNO is tiny. There's no other way around it. He's short, and despite how strong he is, he doesn't actually look super strong or anything. But he'll just shrug with some joke before crouching down and lifting you up. He has absolutely no issues and will simply keep working on whatever he was doing before. He might genuinely forget he's holding you up if you stay silent long enough.
WANDERER is another one who can lift you easily. Hell, he can lift giant fatui workers three times his size. He won't actually do it though, just looks at you like you're dumb for even asking. Will just scoff and mumble something about how weird you are. Still... bring it up in front of Buer or threaten him and he might do it. The fun part is that you can return the favor. Wanderer is hollow-boned, similar to birds, and despite his strength he weighs nearly nothing. Lifting him up with one arm is easy, and he will just explode if you do it.
DEYHA will laugh when you bring it up. She loves the idea and will happily hoist you up on one arm and start carrying you through the desert. Will probably make you hold her bag, saying you gotta pull your weight with a smile. The whole time she carries you around she'll have her claymore out on her back, or in her other hand, just so she can flex her muscles for you.
CANDACE doesn't understand why, but she won't have an issue doing anything that makes you smile. She'll carefully lift you up, soft voice making sure you're comfortable before she moves. She'll do a couple of squats with you still in one arm just to pull a laugh from you, and might even offer to let you sit on her back when she does some push-ups if you like her carrying you so much.
NEUVILLETTE will probably worry that you'll either fall, or that you might be nervous of how high up you are. He'll naturally bring his other arm up to steady you, and you'll have to remind him that the point is seeing if he can do it one armed. He can, no issue at all. He's a sovereign, are you really surprised?
ARLECCHINO won't give in immediately when you ask her, mostly because she thinks it's fun seeing you plot a way to make her. Still, she gives in pretty quick with a smile as she bends down to lift you up. Another person who has insane strength despite being human, and she'll follow your commands as you ask her to jump or crouch with you still in her arms.
WRIOTHESLEY has no issue, but he will tease you about it. First jokes about how much you like his muscles, and then making you try carrying him with one arm. Regardless of the results, he'll lift you up with no issue. He makes sure he has a tight grip on you, of course, but he will pretend to drop you.
MAVUIKA can swing you around with one arm as easily as she can with her claymore, and she'll laugh happily the whole time she does so. Who knew people were coming up with all these fun challenges? She adores every silly thing you want to do with her. She'll encourage you to try with her too, but she's plenty content to flex how strong she is for you.
KINICH kind of just looks at you when you ask. Why? He doesn't really know what to do when you give him the answer of it being a challenge or fun, but he'll do it. Sure, he sighs and seems a little annoyed, but he ends up having fun when he sees how happy you look. If you're up to it, he'll swing around with you in one of his arms. Don't worry, he's very careful to make sure nothing happens to you.
CAPITANO can do it with no issue. Is that a shock? It shouldn't be. He doesn't even say anything when you ask. He just shrugs his jacket off for easier movement and crouches down to hoist you up on one arm. A little nervous that you're unsteady, and he'll grip you a little too tight, but he'll do whatever exercises you want him to with a comforting grip on your legs.
AETHER loves the idea. Immediately lights up as he drops whatever he was doing, much to Paimon's protest, to pick you up. He struggles a little at first, and will need his other hand to make sure you're steady. But once he's gotten you up there, he can move you around with no issue. Compliment how strong he is, and he'll Immediately flush and let out the most strained giggle as he tries to stutter out some kind of response.
LUMINE, like her brother, loves the idea. She thinks it sounds fun! She's physically stronger than him, and won't struggle getting you up at all. Might tease about dropping you, but she makes it very obvious she's joking. Doesn't actually want to scare you, after all. If you compliment her strength, she'll send you the smuggest smile ever, and some smug comment about how she knows.
DAINSLEIF won't really do much other than roll his eyes. Why would he bother doing this? You will discover that he can do it during a battle, though. He'll simply lift you up so he can avoid the fight at all — but only on one of his arms so he can have his sword in case you're spotted. He does do it on purpose, with your request having lingered in his head. He likes seeing the smile you try to hide.
