Chapter Text
Traveller walked through the trees as Paimon pointed at a sunsettia tree.
"HEY!! Paimon’s hungry! Could we take a break?? We’ve been walking for what feels like days now!” Paimon complained.
"Fine, I guess we could have a break now. After all, you must be so tired after fighting all those hillichurls, running away, and then getting jumped by a bunch of treasure hoarders. Then a cicin mage joined the fun and started to zap me!" Traveller remarked.
Piamon looked at them with utter disgust as they walked toward the tree and eventually sat down. Traveller started a fire and put a makeshift pot stand above it. They placed a large pot above the fire and started to cut up some carrots, potatoes and other foods until it eventually made something. Somehow it all made a delicious smelling soup which didn't look half bad.
Traveller taste tested it. “It isn’t too bad!” they said to themselves quite proudly.
Piamon suddenly began to look very excited.
"LET PIAMON TRY! HEY!!! DON’T EAT IT ALL WITHOUT PIAMON!!" the floating child yelled.
Traveller let Paimon eat some. She looked impressed and gave them a delighted thumbs up.
Traveller looked relieved. After all, the last time they made a dish that fell below Paimon’s expectations, they had been given a whole lecture by her.
After they finished eating, they both took a nap. It felt refreshing, laying down under a tree, staring at the cloudless sky and breathing in the earthly aromas. Traveller got up after some time and demanded that Paimon carry on walking. After all, they were very close to Liyue Harbor.
Eventually, they arrived. They were astounded. Looking around at the glistening street lights and crowds of bustling people rushing through the city's centre, someone was getting dragged around by a dark blue haired boy. The one getting dragged around was protesting against the idea of going to Wanmin Restaurant, while his friend thought otherwise.
Traveller went up to them and asked where the nearest general goods shop was.
"Hello! It's over there. Oh, by the way my name is Xingqui, nice to meet you! It seems you’re new to Liyue harbor, would you like a tour?" the boy said.
"Oh, and this is my close friend Chongyun, would you like to join us at Wanmin Restaurant? The more the merrier!"
Traveller nodded and thanked Xingqui for the kind offer.
