Will you take in this strange pair of wandering merchants? They don't need much, just a place to rest for a little bit

Loved the little merchant idea, I thought about giving them a little stand but again... I got lazy, and since they were two I made them chibier, little gremlins

Gift

The popping of your joints as you stretch has you groaning in satisfaction. Bringing your raised arms down to rest behind you head, you whistle a cheery tune while you make your way to the Adventurer's Guild, excited to drop off the finished report of your most recent commission and getting to talk to Katheryne. Immediately, you feel your cheeks heat up at the idea of her praising you for another job well done and you can't help but switch to a light jog just to arrive a little faster.

The guild's familiar logo comes into view and a grin spreads on your lips as you rush over, calling out before you could even reach the front desk.

"Katheryne! Hey, I'm back!"

Katheryne greets back with a friendly wave, her usual pleasant smile in place as she takes the commission sheet you had gone on.

"Done already? That was quite fast. How'd it go?"

"It was nothing I couldn't handle! Basically no issues and the commissioner looked pleased with my work!"

Your chest puffs up with pride at the applause she gives.

"That's wonderful to hear! Then will you be taking another commission or are you done for the day?"

"Hmm.. I think I'm going to rest for a little bit first, grab something to eat, and then see how I'm feeling. Oh! Before that though, I have something for you!"

Rummaging around in one of your packs, Katheryne watched curiously as you gently procured interwoven stems from your inventory. It's not hard to figure out what your gift was.

"A flower crown?"

"Yeah! I had some spare time and saw some flowers that reminded me of you, so I thought it'd be nice and you'd like it."

Somewhat shyly, you present the array of flowers towards Katheryne. Your heart stuttering as she laughed lightly and bowed just enough to let you place it on her head.

"Oh.."

You softly let out a breath of awe, adoring how the flowers complimented her beauty. The gentle wind swaying the petals with her hair, she raises a hand to tuck stray strands behind her ear while wearing her usual gentle smile, creating a serene scene for you.

"Well, how do they look?"

You jolt out of your admiration, cheeks heating as you realize that you were staring and probably looking a bit like a fool. Clearing your throat, you try to act casual as you nod approvingly.

"Perfect! You look incredible with them- Not to say you don't always look incredible of course, I just mean that the flowers really just add on to it, though, uh, not saying you need like, extra stuff, you're pretty with or without things like that, so, yeah."

You quickly shut yourself up before you could ramble more, internally cringing at yourself. Katheryne only continues to smile at you, listening along to every word that tumbled out of your mouth.

"Thank you, I'll be sure to care for them then so they may last longer."

"Great! Well, I guess I better be on my way for now. See you later, Katheryne!"

You bid her farewell as you rush off, stumbling a little before righting yourself and taking a little more care in your steps unless you wanted to embarrass yourself further.

Katheryne watches your retreating figure disappear into the crowd, lingering in that direction a little before her attention was caught by another call of her name.

"Hi Katheryne!"

"Traveler and Paimon! How can I help you?"

"Just here to drop off our commissions. Oh! What's that on your head?"

Paimon points at the flower crown curiously, floating closer slightly to get a better look before she was gently tugged back.

"A gift from another adventurer."

Katheryne takes the completed commissions, marking them done and storing them away before placing the usual pouch of additional rewards on the desk.

"Thank you for completing today's commissions, here is your reward."

The duo glance at each other curiously, wanting to ask a little more about either the gift or the adventurer that gifted it, but decided against the idea as they pocketed the little bag. Waving bye as Paimon's stomach grumbled loudly.

Katheryne carefully removed the flower crown from her hair once they left, disappearing from her post momentarily to place your gift in a safe location, alongside a variety of other items you had brought back for her many times before. Idly, Katheryne wonders what you'll have for her next and finds herself excited to find out.

Beidou “Non-lip kisses”

- Beidou's loud and unafraid to show her affection, always slinging an arm around the back of a crewmate or close friend's shoulders, giving out firm pats on the back or messing up someone's hair

- This doesn't mean she's careless however, she knows when affection should be shown off and when to hold back on it, when it would be appropriate or not, she has a reputation too after all

- Your lips are a treat to Beidou that she loves to indulge in, though she knows that she can get carried away at times

- So she settles this with pressing her kisses to a variety of equally lovely and special spots

- Trapped in her embrace, she's tender and warm when she cups a hand to your cheek and places a kiss on top of your head, fingers ghosting the back of your neck

- Hands firmly held together, for balance, for guidance, or simply for closeness, she'll pull yours up to her lips for the rather cheesy act of brushing them against your knuckles

- When finally in bed, if your back is turned towards her, she might just lean close to land a peck on the back of your neck, if you're facing her, she places it in the hollow of your collars or the tip of your nose, running her fingers gently through your hair as you fall asleep in her safe presence

Lisa “Kabedon”

- Lisa is a tease, those from the city of Mondstadt knew that, and those who were not would quickly learn that. This was simply her way of interaction

- It was worse with those she held much closer, personal, however. Feather light touches that grazed a little too long, whispers a little too sultry, she just loves to see how quickly she could get you to become a mess

- You'd think that eventually your reactions would get less intense the longer you spent time with her, instead you just end up getting used to how hot your skin flushes

- And to bring a container for water whenever you visit the library

- You learn to get used to her actions though, just a little, what with it being a constant whenever the two of you would see other

- So when you walk into the library on a free day and see her cheery smile, you don't think too much on it and simply return it with one of your own

- Like clockwork, Lisa's steps round the corner while you're browsing the large bookshelf in front of you, trying to keep a title on the front of your mind while her hand brushed around your waist

- "Looking for something, dear?"

- You have to take a deep breathe for a second when she whispers the words to you, her breath against the shell of your ear helping it warm up with your cheeks

- Disguising the exhale you let out to be one of mild frustration as you describe what you're looking for

- The librarian lets out a sweet hum of thought, tapping her chin as the fingers around your waist moved to trace circles on the small of your back

- Next she's leading you a little further back in the library, saying that she recalls having stored a book of your description, but leaves you before the path into the aisle, something about how she had to check on something real quick

- "I'll be just a moment, cutie"

- You consider waiting for her before deciding to step in and begin your search, scanning the rows of shelves from top to bottom as best as you can

- Just as you're about to start on another section, Lisa's front presses against your back, pushing you closer against the wood, as she reaches above you and slips out the book you've been looking for

- "Here, let me help you"

- You barely suppress the shiver climbing up your spine as Lisa hands you the book, gripping it tightly between your fingers as you thank her

- You turn to face her only to find yourself almost touching noses, from the corner of your eye you manage to notice how the hand that reached upwards earlier now settled beside your head

- Her eyes twinkle with mischievous mirth as you realize the position she's settled you in, free hand gliding up your waist, brushing along your arm and taking a hold of your chin between her fingers, enjoying the way your throat bobs from her simple actions

- "Why not keep me company for a while... There'll be plenty of time for work later"
