A trip to Liyue always involved business and this time, it was no different. However, this time it was in need of legal action to be taken. It was noted long ago how merchants would buy their wine to sell it secretly under a new name. But they were few and Diluc had not been around to properly deal with them, no time to do so as well as having more important matters to deal with. A few wines sold illicitly could be looked over- it's not it mattered in the whole scheme of things.

Just a month ago, however, he started hearing more of these cases happening in Liyue. It was still rather uncovered, only those who knew the taste of Dandelion wine from Dawn Winery were able to tell where it was really from. It was growing though, and the longer he left it be, the more likely it might start from uncouth rumors along the way.

"Thank you for taking the time out to arrange this meeting." Which was why, he had sent a letter to the Qixing, detailing the problems and came personally just to put his feet down on where he stood. Too bad, he couldn't get a glance of the Tianqun.

Frederick hasn't been at this manor for nearly as long as the others. Though it feels like it's been an eternity to him, it means that he's still getting to know the other survivors who've found themselves trapped in this place.

And Emma Woods... is one of those people. It's such a bizarre feeling, seeing her now. While he'd never known her in life, he had heard of her - as a girl who went missing in mysterious circumstances several years ago, her life sensationalized and her disappearance treated as an unsolvable mystery by those who knew of her.

Never would he have dreamed he'd ever end up joining her among the ranks of the missing. ...He wonders if they're looking for him, too. They must be - while not for the reasons he wants, Frederick Kreiburg is a well-known name among the higher classes, and yet... that fact brings him no comfort at all.

Regardless. It's cruel of him, but the one thing that strikes him as he looks at her now is what he knows of her past. Knowing she's been a patient at an asylum for so much of her life... to be quite honest, it chills him to the bone. The reason for that discomfort is difficult to identify - or maybe, deep down, it's something that he simply doesn't want to acknowledge.

Today, though... there's only one question on his mind. Though he doesn't know if it's curiosity or paranoia that drives him to ask.

"Tell me. Why did you approach me, of all people, for this?"

"The sea creatures in my world weren't entirely different from the ones here." He says in thought. He raises a finger to his chin and raises his eyes upward to the sky. "Though, I guess when I look back on some of them, I do remember spotting a fish with a halo and some wings. I believe there are such things as fish called angel fish, but I think ours were literal? If I'm not mistaken, they are a rare sight."

Ugh. This sucks.

When she'd first heard about the trip, Neptune had thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad. A visit to a city full of museums... well, it's not really her thing, but she can think of places that'd be a lot worse, so. Take what you can get, right?

But through some stroke of bad luck, both Venus and Jupiter ended up sick. So now here she is, stuck on her own with a bunch of shitty teachers, boring classmates, and Jesus somehow shoehorned into every conversation. Great.

At the very least, having a moment to herself like this is a blessing. ...She hopes Venus and Jupiter are doing okay. It's their own fault for working so hard lately, but. Still.

Neptune had decided to sit down for a drink, but the cafe she's found herself in is surprisingly busy. Suppressing the urge to sigh, and holding back a cough tickling her throat, she eventually chooses a random table with only one other occupant in the back.

"Hey. Mind if I sit here?"

“You haven't been to Fontaine?!”

Astonishment-laden features spelled her surprise. In truth, only recently had she been made aware of its vast beauties, only recently had the smell of seafoam in her hair and salt in her 'brows.

“You'd love it! There's a ton of areas to search for treasure, and plenty of peaks to stand at the top of! Speaking of that: they have these jellyfish things you can bounce on, kind of like in Sumeru! -- except those were mushrooms, not jellyfish things. And! Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot to mention, you can breathe underwater! I was a little skeptical at first, since I'm from Inazuma, and I figured that maybe that was just a Fontainian thing... but once I took a big gulp, instead of a mouthful of seawater, it was like a fresh breath of oxygen.”

The actual descriptor slipped her mind, but it wasn't everyday you had to explain such a process... even someone with the proper credentials would lose some of the wording in-translation. There's a breath of realization before Yoimiya grasped Bao'er's hands in her own!

“We should visit together!”

Leaves crackle under his feet, the scent of fire prominent in his surroundings as leftover flames burn the ground. With that, the area is cleared and Diluc lets his sword diminish and his stance loosened, taking a glance around to make sure he had left nothing behind. Word spread that there were too many hilichurl camps on this trading route-- a problem for the winery's master when he needed his shipment as quickly and safely transported as possible.

The adventurer's guild couldn't move fast enough with their abundance of daily commissions- there was no guarantee his would be picked up first. A fair price and it wouldn't stand out; too high a price, people would avoid it with assumptions of its danger. There were the Knights of Favonius, this being part of their job as well...

But it would take just as long, if not longer.

So he clears the route on his own, an easy task if not time-consuming for how long the route is. It would have been better with help-- the traveler coming to mind, her efficiency in fighting and clearing out these camps was well known to reach even his ears. He smiles at the thought, getting ready to move on to the next which shouldn't be too far. Only, his ears catch the sound of footsteps kicking sand. Turning around and seeing who it is... Not worth hiding from.

"This isn't part of your patrol route." Not like he ever followed them perfectly.

{✗} "Will you just...HOLD still?" She smiles, shaking her head with mild annoyance glimmering in her eyes. Her hand reaches over and adjusts his chin once more, tilting her head as she examines his face in this new LIGHT. "You promised you would sit still for ONE picture," Cindy reminded him, her gaze returning to the sketchbook in her lap. She picked up her pencil and resumed her sketching, light STROKES of lead against the off-white paper.

"Mayday was EASIER to sketch and she's a TODDLER," she grinned a little, pushing her glasses back up her nose.

Frankly: Vash hadn't gone through all that life has to grant. Thus, whenever a bar has a long menu, chockful of words he hadn't seen, sentences he couldn't pronounce, his tongue felt knotted. Most taverns had two options of beverage, tinted tap and a potent beer that burned his throat, and one offering of food... sandwiches. Sandwiches were a first choice most times, Vash able to stack his ceiling-high with a pocketful of coins in spite. But... none of these names had -sub or -wich in the title.

A sluggish hand hovered just above a shoulder, one pace ahead of him -- not quite touching, not quite not, but enough to allude to his presence... cough cough, in case the hand wasn't enough.

“Ex-- excuse me,” a smile that didn't go to his ears, a smile haphazardly thrown on, tilted in all the wrong ways but innocently so, mistakenly so. “Can you... help me order? I'm sorry, I've just -- never been to a city this large before.” There were reasons for thus, but Vash needn't indulge them. “I can make out the names, but I ... don't know what they are. Or, well... I can't make out the names, and that's why I'm - sorry.”

Head ducked, Vash prepared himself to blindly ask for this, that.

“I... can probably figure it out, myself. Just thought I'd ask.”
