an incident with a group of hilichurls involving one of his traders brought him further out into the countryside. ordinarily, sometimes a member of the guild or even the traveler would take care of the issue, but diluc is already out and about. he figures it wouldn't be a problem to take a detour.
after dispatching the horde of hilichurls and sending the trader on their way to the winery, diluc decides to take a moment to rest at one of the nearby statues before returning to his duties.
his feet crunch the ground, senses becoming alert when he feels a presence near him.

as he grows closer to the base of the statue, a voice calls out to him. he follows it to find a young redheaded boy, and he loosens his shoulders out of his defensive stance.
"apologies, i didn't realize someone else was here."

It had been a long time since Luka had seen the sky but what baffled him more was how green this place was. Certainly he was not in Belobog since everything was still cold and frozen in some areas. He felt so out of place and overwhelmed by the sight that greenery spanned for miles that he had gotten dizzy.
He had stumbled upon this weird looking statue and decided to wait beside it. The air was warm and comforting, the smell of flowers all around, the sound of animals and birds chirping ... It was so much different from what he was used to. He was normally huddled in the corner for colder nights, rarely ever saw the sun and sometimes needed to stick to a heater that flickered and wavered with little power.
❝ I guess first I have to figure out where I am ... ❞
-- But relaxing and soaking in this atmosphere surrounding him didn't sound too bad at all. That was until a rustle was heard which shot open defensive blue eyes, his hands automatically turning into fists in defense to protect himself from anyone who might want to steal from him - not that he had anything valuable but his mechanical arm.
❝ Who goes there? ❞

he has to admit, he didn't think he'd encounter anyone else with red hair within mondstadt. it's... rather refreshing, if he's to say the least.

"well, your next town would have to be here in mondstadt. the central city is that way." he points in the direction of the city, the windmills spinning in the distance. "i needed to drop by anyway, perhaps i could show you the way." he offers.
