"Long story short, the Traveler is searching for her brother, and I thought it might be a good idea to help her, so I brought her into the city, but then the mighty Stormterror attacked, and now we are here. Oh, and she is also searching for the Anemo God!" Amber explained with a grin.

Kaeya pondered over Amber's words for a while, "I see...Welcome to the Mondstadt, though you haven't arrived at the best of times, I am afraid. I can understand your anguish of being separated from a family member. I am not really sure why you are searching for an Anemo God, but everyone has their secrets, right?" He gazed at the Traveler with one of his starlike eyes and noticed she was staring at him with hostility, "Haha, relax! I won't press you for more, anyway, first and foremost, I have to thank you, on behalf of all Knights of Favonius for defending the city and offering a helping hand in the battle." Kaeya did a small bow.

Lumine felt awkward about this kind of treatment, so she waved him off with a soft voice, "...We couldn't leave the situation to fester any further, besides, I didn't help because I wanted to, but because I need your help."

"Fair enough!" Kaeya laughed and turned to Yomite, "Brother, your fight to defend the city against the dragon was witnessed by no small amount of citizens and Knights themselves! You are bound to be recognized as a hero! As expected of my brother! You will definitely be awarded something for your bravery."

"A hero? I think you are overreacting...Although frankly, I won't beat around the bush, I do hope to get some sort of reward. Preferably money as I don't even have a single penny. Also, a place to stay would be nice. I don't need a title like that though, no thanks." Yomite said with a thoughtful expression. If he got that out of the way, most of his problems would be solved. Money, place to stay at, and naturally that way, also food and other things.

He was really curious about the money system. Would it be the standard copper, silver, gold, platinum currency or would it be something different?

"You don't have to worry, The Acting Grand Master of Knights of Favonius is also definitely interested in meeting you, so I am sure you will get rewarded, together with the Traveler for assisting us," Kaeya replied while gazing at both Yomite and Lumine.

"Ah! Paimon wants a reward too!" The flying fairy chimed in despite not helping with the battle at all.

Kaeya looked troubled, "Eh...Then how about a Sticky Honey Roast? You can stuff yourself with it later. It tastes amazing, and the explosion of sweetness literally explodes in my mouth whenever I eat it.~"

"Really!? Is it that good!? Yaaay!~" The fairy floated around happily in the air.

Yomite glanced across his shoulder at the fairy? Plushie? Flying bodypillow? Either way, it was cute. Almost too cute. Yomite wondered what kind of race she was from and thought about getting one for himself.

'I have no idea what that is, but I have an impulsive feeling to hug and protect it.'

"By that logic, shouldn't I get something as well? A small sack of coins would be nice." Hu Tao joined in, she was silent all this time, "Despite not being much of help, I did bring three citizens to safety! I would like a small sack of coins, hehe~." She announced, proudly.

"Sure! Everyone gets a reward!" Kaeya laughed.

Yomite facepalmed himself, 'This little girl...Instead of caring about a small sum of money, she should be begging for the contract she was desperately trying to sign with the Adventurers Guild earlier... That would help her much more in the long run...' he sighed and nudged her shoulder.
