[Oh it's not at all a question he had expected, but a question he still doesn't like anyway! The true answer is a secret third option, but what he says, without much pause, is:]
I would finish my unfinished business in Teyvat, of course. [Of course!] There's still a god whose blood I'm owed.
[thinking about the time you mentioned she literally has skeletons do everything for her including getting her out of bed in the morning and that is so funny
He just watches this, humming, expression and tone relatively neutral.]
So I've heard. You have some days to work with, at least.
Hmm. Well, for one thing, I think we thought it might serve to suggest you be allowed to compete as a form of vengeance. We thought killing you would help us win - but at the last moment, we are forced to tolerate your inclusion as well.
That's correct. We were extended an official invitation last week, since a few people had been wheedling for an in even if it meant we were just there as guests and not as competitors.
[One less of a barrier to cross, and if nothing else, Scaramouche will at least have a great time watching the livingdead trip over 500 drinks trying to cross the finish line.]
More or less, yes - that's roughly the last obstacle in the way. [A beat, and then:] Do you believe there's any room for negotiating for the personal demons, as well?
[Though he states this question more curiously than anything. He's aware that even attempting to come up with something for the doubledeadzos is already a lot.]
That, and I'd be hard-pressed to want to rely on any of us if I were them, too, considering how the majority of people seem to have handled them in general.

[she chews her lip, and then one of the skeletons hands her a notebook and flips the pages for her, which is not necessary at all.]
We want to find a way to free all of you, along with us.

[she understands his neutral expression.]
There is no guarantee it will work. In fact, Blue thinks it unlikely it will. But it is worth some doing.

I don't think anyone who died here would be stupid enough to get their hopes up right at the finish line, anyway. What have you got so far?

We're already invited to the actual party. It's not like you need to fool bouncers or anything.

Might as well, if you're going to be trying for extremely ideal scenarios anyway.
