A small chunk of rock is placed beside Azhdaha's hand, translucent near the edges while towards the centre is a beautiful opaque purple. Crystal marrow. Quite a beautiful stone indeed. "One of my souvenirs from a business trip to Inazuma, it's pretty don't you think? But something about the energy of it feels a bit odd. The Tenryou Commission only said stuff like" and here they put on a faux deep voice of mocking authority "'that's of no concern to outlanders!' and 'don't touch that!'" so of course I snagged a piece when they weren't looking."

The tale is a humorous one. A small chuckle slips past their lips, unimpeded by the gloved fingers that try to mute the sound. They could imagine Director Hu sneakily grabbing the mineral whilst the guards’ backs were turned, none the wiser to the theft. Amber gaze trail from their employer to the item in question. It’s a pleasant hum that resonates from Azhdaha’s throat as they observe it.
“I expect no less from you, Director Hu. Your senses weren’t wrong about the energy.” Even without touching it, Azhdaha could feel the intense darkness and heavy sadness that encases the crystal.
They shed one of the black gloves and takes the crystal marrow between bare fingers. The world goes dark as their eyes close. Intense emotions burrow themselves deep within his chest as images appear in flickers of colorful lights. Hu Tao has seen this before, the Seer Stone ability they posses. A rare few are privy to such a show by the Lord of Vishaps.
“It was a tale of sorrow and sacrifice,” they begin, a deep regret lacing their inflection. “Of love for the little lives they cared for so deeply. The Memory of Stone recalls their final moments before lightning struck.”
His eyes open and look to Hu Tao who stood before them. “Perhaps, at the very least, we could offer incense to such a noble creature, Director.”
"Why did the ghost go to rehab? He couldn't handle his boo's."
It made him laugh, accompanied by an upward curl of his lips into a smile. And for once there is nothing teasing about the sound. “I am sure you already know this, given your profession” Kaeya said, grin growing up a bit wider, “But do you know what kind of fruit ghosts like best?”
A pause with a chuckle, thinking he’d have to tell the one she’d said to his brother next time he saw him.
“Boo-nanas, of course.“

"Justice is a dish best served cold, don't you think? Otherwise, it'd be justwater!"
...Oh you've got to be kidding. This was worst then listening to ancient beings trying to keep up with terms of the newer generation but Hu Tao wasn't even old! The satisfaction on the director's face was enough to have Yanfei fighting back an eye roll, sighing dramatically in an attempt to keep from smiling at the joke. She would never admit that it was a bit funny lest she prepare for more terrible jests to be thrown her way.
"Hmm... I'll give it a 7.5 out of 10 only because you're a dear friend. I thought you were here to discuss business with me, not test out your old man jokes! Please save those for someone who'd actually laugh at them- although It's certainly not the worst legal joke I've heard..."
If any one were to glance over her shoulder at that exact moment, they'd catch her scribbling it down to repeat to Madam Ping over dinner. (She's 100% going to take credit for it too.)
“ Though I was betrayed— ” By his own boyfriend no less, & in front of a live audience. A heinous crime was committed against him by a certain beloved traitor exorcist. “ I must say that you are a formidable foe. Your poetry is remarkably creative. Would you care for a rematch someday in the near future? ”
