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!"

"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.

The appearance of the stellar Traveler was sudden but welcomed despite her surprise. The embrace being returned, a look of concern graced her expression upon seeing the foulness of the blonde's.

Ayaka's unasked question ended up answered, the corners of her lips betraying her almost in attempt to hide her amusement.

"Perhaps you're more desired than what the world says, and maybe the person in question wanted to have a... Let's say, curious test of the Traveler herself?"

Her hands reach into Lumine's short, blonde locks as she smiles reassuringly at her, though she herself was at a slight loss. Primarily because these interactions don't occur with her because of her status.

"If the thought bothers and persists in your mind, might I suggest we soothe it over with some tea? Amongst other things that can make you forget it ever happened, unless your kind heart prevents you from doing so." A smile was evident in her words, but she sighs nonetheless, soothing her dearest friend. "Just so that the one who occupies your heart and mind can finally take it when the time comes."

@stelliferousduo

"Ayaka...!!"

The blonde Traveler practically fell into her best friend's arms, her foul mood apparent by the expression on her face.

"Listen to this! Some random stranger came up to me, kissed me on the lips and then just ran off again! Can you believe that!?" She ranted, her voice a mixture a frustration, desparation and anger.

"That was my first real kiss too...I was hoping to save it for someone else..."
