2 — mondstadt (???) this one is more of a theory i suppose than anything, but its got its basis. for things to play out how they did with durin and nod krai, i believe wanderer would have had to be in mondstadt for a period of time and we just never saw him. i doubt wanderer would have simply sent mini durin off all the way to mondstadt on his own – and even if he hadnt personally gone with him, the birthday letter we receive from him that mentions mini durin being in mondstadt clearly shows he's been either visiting or keeping tabs on him, more than likely through albedo (because who the hell else would it be). given the fact that durin's 'birth' and the boat trip to nod krai happened in succession of eachother (given with a time gap), it seems more than likely to say wanderer would've been in mondstadt for a time during this. the way in which wanderer and albedo seem to know eachother could be additionally explained by them having spent more time together here 3 — that goddamn boat now this one is just outright stated and shown. lost my absolute shit when albedo was shown in the nod krai trailer, immediately followed by wanderer. traveler also comments "so they came to nod krai together..?" at one point wanderer, albedo, alice and durin travelled together on a boat, likely from mondstadt directly to nod krai. we don't have a damn clue how long that boat trip was but by god do we know it happened. who knows how many off-screen interactions could've taken place there, not only between wanderer and albedo, but between wanderer and alice, or wanderer and durin. lots to think about its a gold mine. absolutely loved this and forever will 4 — the core aside from the fact there was likely numerous minor off-screen interactions between them in nod krai, given the fact they were you know. there at the same time together. the core is a major one from luna IV someone had to return that core to wanderer after all the shit went down, and since sandrone couldn't, there's only one bet after that as to who would've had the mechanical and alchemical knowledge, as well as wanderer's trust, who could have returned the core that, of course, being albedo. we didn't really get any scene at all of the core being returned or directly after which i was quite disappointed about, but i think it's safe to assume albedo was probably the only man qualified to do that, and they would have seen eachother before they parted ways because durin would've been under legal obligation to say bye thankyou for coming to my ted talk and hoyoverse, please start actually showing some of these things on screen, i beg of thee
