[ Zhongli's austerity usually lets him command people's attention... that is, until he has to do anything related to money. It is then that most people realize that he doesn't take money seriously at all.
But back to the issue at hand: ]
This is a talisman that will protect you. I have imbued it with an enchantment that will produce a shield if you ever happen to fall into danger.
[ The shield is durable enough to last half an hour once deployed, which gives ample time for Seonho to dial for backup on his smartphone. Zhongli considers this an excellent idea. ]
[when ur caught between a.) gratitude that Zhongli was thinking of him at all and b.) embarrassment that Zhongli was thinking of him enough to want to give him a way to ensure the safety of his ass --]
...Then I shall humbly accept, and put it to good use.
[he'll accept it with both hands as is proper, and incline his head in an attempt to be respectful and hide his EMBARRASSMENT!!!]
It is a very thoughtful gesture. [he can acknowledge that too,] I am sure the others you've met, or will meet today, will think so as well.
[zhongli please do not tell seonho that he is the only one who gets the emergency 'need ur life saved by zhongli' pendant]
[ Seonho is taking it quite well, given that he already knows Zhongli's true identity. There's no excessive prostration or show of unneeded respect, so he would only nod in acknowledgement of the man's thanks. ]
I would wish that it will remain unused for a long time. But, if it does expend itself, I will restore it as many times as it is necessary.
[ Zhongli would go around giving this to all the people whom he thinks need to be guarded from magic and can't use magic themselves... of which out of the people he knows, Seonho is the only one.
That being said:]
Happy new year. I hope I have not kept you from something urgent.
