[ Trahearne senses the hurt, the disappointment from Zhongli. As betrayed as he feels, he is not so swept up in his emotions that he is blind to how this affects his friend as well. Though that still doesn't do anything to alleviate the little frown (pout?) on his lips.
He was going to find out eventually, it seems. He doesn't know how that would've looked like, or when that would have been.
But at the same time, there is a small part of him that realizes this would have had to happen sooner or later, if they are to continue forging their relationship. Much in the same way the revelation of Trahearne's death seemed to spark their getting closer.

[ As much as he'd like to say, "It's okay! Let's carry on!" He knows that might plant a tiny seed of resentment in him, and he doesn't want that. Best be honest now, so they both know where the other stands. ]
But... [ He bites his lip, nervous. This isn't an unreasonable request, is it? The curious Tyrian in him does not know what a benevolent god-dragon looks like, so... ] ...if I may... Could you show me what you look like? As a dragon?
