Sucrose made it to the Wangshu Inn, she needed a break before finally reaching Liyue Harbor. Booking herself a room she decided to wander around the inn, looking out the large balcony to see the view. It was breathtaking, she was excited to start collecting samples for new projects. Ears twitching as she heard someone...above her? Turning her head she looked up and saw someone was on top of the roof, it certainly startled her.

“ i swear , i heard you scream . ”

“i--i’m fine!” aether is quick to reassure xiao, cheeks red. “it was- nothing, i just startled myself...” he’s got one hand- ungloved- cradled against his chest. “i’m fine.” but the smell of blood hangs in the air, unmistakable. 

Going outside of Mondstadt was something rare for a knight to do as their job never entailed them to venture far outside the walls of the city. Yet, here Huffman was...getting caught up in a scuffle with some hilichurls lingering around Liyue and protecting the people un-native to his land.

But as a normal man, Huffman was having trouble against these monsters. They were more sinister, more brutal than what he was use to fighting. The air was more deadly than the high winds of Dragonspine, and thus even the brave knight had to be saved.

Eyes would watch in bewilderment as he was saved from an unfortunate death. The others had already ran, and he was only able to bide them time. Heavy breaths were taken as he could only stare up at his timely savior...

"Aiya, where is she?” Hu Tao asked outloud. She knew for a fact that Dusty Ming hadn’t crossed over yet, that the little ghost still lingered near Wangshu Inn. But the Director didn’t seem to be able to find her tonight. Maybe her visit was not in an auspicious moment, maybe were the phases of the moon or, more likely, there was some negative force scaring the little ghost away.

“they started it. i am simply pointing out their blatant hypocrisy.”

aether was hesitant to believe it first when his eyes caught the familiar figure in his class, unable to RATIONALIZE the probability of xiao in this world again for how could he? this was the first time someone he knew from another world has crossed paths with him yet again, and for them to be tasked to work together for some project he barely understood what about ( he had been too preoccupied with trying to understand how and why this has happened that he missed their lecturer's words, but let's not dwell on that ) was something truly mind-boggling.
