[Zhongli looks over at him for a long moment, then... nods. He would probably do the same thing in Jinwoo's shoes. Being incurably stubborn is an endearing personality trait when you're not the one dealing with it. Ah well.]

Very well.

[The mission takes priority for today, at least. He trusts that Jinwoo will reach out if he needs to. For now, he'll bask in the knowledge that his offer has brought a genuine and rare smile to this young man's face. Such treasures are more valuable than gold in his eyes.]

Hahah, I don't know about that. [Though being called cool instead of weird is a nice change.] When things seem difficult, I simply think to myself, 'This, too, shall pass.'

[He leads Jinwoo to a case with a few weapons in it-- a collection of swords. There's one in there that is very shiny and new-looking, while the others are older.]

This is what I mentioned earlier. That broadsword is cursed, and the other artifacts around it are almost certainly contaminated by now. I can sense it. So, that makes five so far.
