Chapter Text
My friends,
In many worlds, in many nations, there are many different days where friends and family gather in one place to celebrate together. Sometimes it's for historic reasons, other times it's a time of worship, and sometimes it's simply because people are inherently social beings.
Practically all year now I have been trying to decide which of those many days I want to take as my occasion. And now it's almost the end of the year, and not many days are left for me to choose from.
So I've decided to go with the day that is exactly a week from the last day of the year, the day people in one of the worlds I've seen call "Christmas". I won't bore you with the details (although you are free to ask me about them the next time we meet), but the important part is that, for some, this day belongs to the "worship" category, while for others this meaning has sort of gotten lost, the day now remaining as simply a perfect opportunity for friends and family to get together.
And that's what I want it to be, too. A day for me to see all the friends I've made during my time in Teyvat. And, of course, a day for all those friends to meet each other. For all of you to meet one another.
Every one of you has received an invitation for my Serenitea Pot, and everyone knows how to use it. So that is where I am inviting you to, starting at 4 in the afternoon, with an open end and the possibility to stay the night if necessary.
I'm inviting you to talk, but of course also to food and drink, to perhaps a show or two, if some of you happen to have something they would like to perform for the rest of us. (Do notify me of that beforehand, though, so I know what to expect and prepare.)
That day will be a peaceful one. Not all of you will end up liking each other, and that is okay, but there will be no fights, physical or not. If you are invited, then that means I trust you will honor this.
Now, all that's left for me to say is that I am looking forward to meeting all of you.
Sincerely
The Traveler
