"Come now, pup." Zhongli sighed as he picked you up once more. This was the third time he had had to put you back in your bed. You had energy and wanted to play with your toys but it was time to go to bed. The older man set you back down in your bed, ruffling your hair and petting behind one of your ears.

"Why wont you stay in your bed, you little rascal? You know very well by now that it is bed time, and bed time means you go to sleep. Is play time bed time?" Zhongli asked you, chuckling as he pinched your cheek gently. "No, play time comes after bed time, little one." He laid you down softly and pulled the covers up to your chin. He sat on the edge of your bed for a moment before trying to think of something to make you sleep.

"Is there anything I could do to get you to sleep?" Zhongli asked gingerly, resting one of his hands on your leg over the blanket. "I really need you to be getting to sleep now. Its far too late for a puppy like you to be awake and playing around."
