Having Returned From Her Usual Routine, Tending To The People And Walking Around Inazuma City, Ayaka

Having returned from her usual routine, tending to the people and walking around Inazuma City, Ayaka released an exhale from her lips, a smile gracing it as she was done with all her scheduled duties for the day.

But upon hearing from some of the guards and housekeepers that she had a visitor, Ayaka's head tilted, until she heard the familiar voice of the Traveler once more. Which surprised her, as it hadn't been long since she sent her that letter those few days ago. Not only that, but Paimon was also present.

Bringing her fan to her lips, a giggle escaped them as she started to walk in the direction of where the blonde and her floating companion were. She found them quickly, and with the fan still covering the lower half of her face, her eyes formed into crescents as she smiled behind the object, putting it away after a moment as she walked over to them, her smile fully visible.

"Traveler, Paimon! It's a pleasant surprise to see you, and perfect timing as I don't have much else to do today." She greeted Paimon first with a light pat on her head, but also pulling out a strawberry mochi from out of nowhere to give to the floating companion. She's been keenly aware of how gluttonous of a being Paimon was, so it was only natural that she gave her a snack.

Turning to Lumine, she embraced the blonde gently, holding the embrace for a moment before pulling away, smiling as her hands reached for the blonde's. "I'm assuming you both are here for the 'legendary' hotpot, yes? Then we might have to wait a moment to get the soup prepared, as well as the ingredients." A giggle escapes her lips as she start leading the both of them further into the estate.

"You both likely already have your ingredients ready, right? Considering that you seem to always be collecting and carrying various things all over Teyvat."

A letter from the far archipelago reaches the duo of the Traveller and Paimon, the crest of the Kamisato Clan stamped in a wax seal at the center. Should the letter be opened, the contents of the letter are followed, in elegant yet neat handwriting:

'Traveller, Paimon, it's a wonderful pleasure to hear of you two and your achievements over the time you have departed from Inazuma, and though I wholly miss you both, we would be honoured to have you both in Inazuma whenever you both have time. Until then, I hope to hear from you whenever there is a time to write, but also the time to breathe.

Please let me know when to inform Thoma to do another hotpot, where we'll fill it with wonderful (^^) ingredients once more.'

- Kamisato Ayaka

Even without opening the letter, Lumine already knew who it would be from - the seal giving it away. While she was acquaintanced with both Kamisato siblings, her relationship with Ayaka was considerably different from the one with Ayato. The latter was busy with his official duties as the head of his clan and while they got along just fine, the blonde always just felt a tad bit nervous in his presence.

Meanwhile Ayaka was born with a silver spoon in her mouth as well, but her overall attitude and demeanor was just so humble and modest, you would never assume she is actually what they'd call can 'ojou-sama' in the region of Inazuma. During her initial stay in the region of the Electro archon, the two of them quickly grew close to the point where she now dared call the other her 'best friend'.

"Paimon. Are you hungry for Thoma's famous hotspot? I was thinking of hitting up Inazuma to visit some of our friends there."

"Thoma's hotpot!? Say no more! I am ready to board the boat to Ritou!"

"Fufu~ I figured you'd say that! Let's get going then!"

***

Without further ado, the duo was on their way, arriving at Inazuma just a couple of hours later. She wanted to surprise her friend, so she headed straight to the Kamisato Estate, being recognized by the guards and housekeepers and therefore granted access to enter.

"...Ayaka! It's me, Lumine! Paimon and I are here to visit!"

the second i finish my exams, finished up june and then went into july, my mind resetted so hard and i just relaxed like crazy—

apart from that, i finally finished the anime for kaiju no. 8, a sign of affection and 7th timeloop, but nothing compares to the absolute wholesome unit of a romance manga like kaoruhana (check tags pls)

THE FEMALE LOVE INTEREST, KAORUKO WAGURI—GIRL IS ACTUALLY SO CUTE I COULD SOB FOREVER OVER HER CUTENESS

like, just LOOK AT HER!!!

she's also so sweet too 😭 the communication between her, her canon bf/main boy rintaro tsumugi and basically the main friend group is SO GOOD. i'm only fifty-something (50) chapters in comparison to the around 115 chapters that are there, and so far there's no unnecessary fan service—just some real fluffy, cute and wholesome shit there 😭🩷

probably the first and only romance manga that i wanna recommend to anyone since it's so sweet and cute, and just a really nice read overall!

oh and, kaoruko's a new muse now, so that's another thing <3 BUT YEAH GOODNIGHT I'VE GOT SOMEWHERE TO BE THIS SATURDAY AFTERNOON YIPPEE!!!

I have it in me to think that, at least for my Rover, she's all so cool and collected, but the second Jiyan's mentioned, she falters so hard and becomes so positively weak in the knees in the "SOB. WHY IS HE SO SWEET, COOL, STRONG, AND LIKELY A GENTLEMAN TOO—" way.

I'm just pathetic for the aero dragon general 😭

I have it in me to also think that she would secretly have a plush of Jiyan because she's secretly that pathetic and silly

I love silly girls

okay i finally got all the rp stuff out of the way GAHAHAHDHAHSH

i'm just letting it out there that i'm a serial webtoon/manhwa/manhua faceclaim stealer for ocs because drawing capability? doesn't exist <3

maybe i should make a post to link to my rules and canon muses regarding my... what, 20, 30 something ocs? ya :D

another low hum, almost rumbling in his throat, escapes his lips as he looks between his meal and the adeptus. zhongli ponders momentarily before getting up slowly from the table.

he smiles slightly at xiao, gesturing for him to remain seated. "would you like for me to take the dish back to the chef and ask if they could make it anew? or shall i ask for a separate plate of chicken, cooked to your specifications if you are at least comfortable with that choice," he offers, his hand reaching for the edges of the plate, eyes on the man and waiting for his answer. he didn’t want to pressure him, but he wouldn't mind doing so for xiao—he invited him out for a meal and time to chat, after all.

starter for @ballad-of-encore .

a (small) glare is shot at morax as the adeptus looks between both him and the meal on the table in front. ‘ are you positive this is prepared properly.. ? ’ knowing xiao, he would be eating his usual meal without any complaints-- that is unless it's a dish that includes meat.

his fork simply glazes over the plate of chicken and rice; the food itself smells alright but the looks and xiao's mind can't seem to shake something slightly wrong with the dish. ‘ my apologies, sir zhongli.. i understand you've invited me to this outing to eat and not scowl over the food before me. ’

"I'm starting to wonder if today is a 'every man on Teyvat kiss the Traveler' day today... ^^;"

Childe is gonna casually kiss her cheek and walk away

@snezhnayain-carrot-top

"What's everyone's deal today...!?"

She sighs. Well, at least that Harbinger had the decency to go for the cheek.
