"You can relax," Zarina laughs as she places her hand on her hip. This Traveler was the talk of every region she's been to aside from Fontaine and Natlan, but even then the knowledge of Lumine had gone all across the world of Teyvat. Did Tighnari tell them that she returned to the Akademiya? Because it seemed like this young maiden could be here to ask about the Abyss, or, perhaps, she didn't yet know of her field of study. Or maybe it was Alhaitham, but she highly doubted that the Scribe... Pardon, Acting Grand Sage was the one responsible for the meeting. "If you expected a middle-aged guy who'd seen the depths of a nightmare like an adventurer, I wouldn't be upset. Just makes our meeting that much better, eh? After all, I'm such a pretty scholar. Haha, sorry, sorry. The name's Zarina Sokolova, I'm a scholar from Snezhnaya. A pleasure," without hesitation, the silverette offered her gloved hand for a handshake. "How about we take a walk? I've been asleep at my place for solid ten hours and I wanted to walk 'round the block to see what changed while I was away. Seems like you've helped Sumeru a lot, I've heard Lesser Lord Kusanali was freed. You're pre~etty popular. Did they give you a discount at the Bazaar?"

a familiar gleam of blonde hair catches hayate's eye, his head whipping around to follow it. a smirk spread across his face, indigo eyes sparking with that distinct mix of emotions that only the traveler brings out-- aggression, intrigue, and some elusive third emotion, slipping through the cracks and crevices in his mind every time he tries to define it, but pervasive all the same. "i thought we had an agreement, traveler. no more following me."

“If you want to talk... I don’t have anywhere to be, Lumi-chan.”

"Why do you reject your past? It's the baseline of our existence when it comes to how we became the way we are today. Without our past and our memories, we would not be who we are today," she speaks in a light-hearted tone, leaning back against the colder wall in the shadows. Sumeru City could be so hot during this time of the year. Quite unpleasant for her. "Why so cruel towards yourself in the past, Lumine?"

Whenever he makes new clothes, if possible he tries to get Lumine to model for him. She has to be the first person to try his outfits on if he has the chance to. Also Lumine needs more clothes so---

Embarrassing moments... honestly, he thinks how he was before he developed emotions was kinda embarrassing. Like c'mon, what is he, a straight man in a manzai duo? He thinks that he can laugh at them now that he's developed so much as a person, but part of that's also because he's really the only one who knows how he was back then. If Hanabi comes back and spills his past personality he'll die from embarrassment.
