-- Inside the Serenitea Pot --

Lumine: Yo!

Xiangling: Welcome back! You're just in time for dinner.

Lumine: I had dinner before coming here, so I'm good.

Xiangling: Aww but I made enough for four..

Lumine: I'm sorry.

Xiangling: Just for a little bit???

Lumine: I'm only here to rest, Master Jean wants us to regroup early tomorrow so I need to catch up on some z's.

Xiangling: But-

Chongyun: Xiangling? Who're you talking to? Oh, welcome back Lumine!

Lumine: I'm back~

Chongyun: Dinner's almost ready so you can rest up while you're at it.

Lumine: Oh actually-

Chongyun: Wait here, I'll go get some extra utensils.

Lumine: Ah...

Xiangling: So...?

Lumine: I guess I'll be joining you guys. What're you making anyways?

Xiangling: I'm making Qince stir fry topped with slime condensate, and Crab Roe Tofu filled with Whopperflower Nectar!

Lumine: Sounds... delicious??

Chongyun: Does it really?

Lumine: I guess not.

Xiangling: Oh the food is ready, can you go get Fischl? She's upstairs in the library.

Lumine: Yes ma'am!

Chongyun: I'll help you plate the food.

———

Lumine: Knock knock.

Fischl: Come in.

Lumine: Isnt this the part where you're supposed to say 'who's there?'

Fischl: Why indulge myself in childish talk when I can have you enter the vicinity straight away?

Lumine: Awe that's sweet of you, I'm coming in.

Fischl: Welcome back Traveller, resting here for the night I presume?

Lumine: Yeah but I kinda got roped into eating dinner. Oh and Xiangling said she wants you to come down, the food is ready.

Fischl: Dinnertime already? My I've been reading this book nonstop that I must've lost track of the time.

Lumine: How're the books in the library?

Fischl: I've yet to read them all but the ones I have finished are quite the tale, where could you perhaps have gotten these books?

Lumine: I kinda went around places and took some random books I found. Nevermind that, let's go eat!

Fischl: Very well. If you dont mind, I need to tidy up the desk so go ahead and help yourselves.

Lumine: 'Kaay.

———

Lumine: The princess will be coming down soon.

Xiangling: Okaaay~

Chongyun: I prepared tea, want some?

Lumine: You guys dont have to act like my servants you know? But yes I will have some.

Fischl: This is our repayment to you for allowing us to stay here.

Lumine: Oh hey Fischl.

Xiangling: You were cooped up in the library for the whole day, Fischl. Could've at least helped in the kitchen.

Chongyun: You're one to talk, all you've been doing is wasting our ingredients on stupid dishes. Who knows if they're even edible?!

Chongyun: I, for one, actually cleaned the house and tended to the grapevines along with the abundance of plants outside the mansion.

Fischl: I witnessed you out from the library window, you were breaking a remarkable sweat outside.

Xiangling: I'm a chef and chefs specialize in cooking, of course I'd be in the kitchen.

Fischl: And I'm a princess from another realm, I need to study up on the culture of this world.

Chongyun: You're not even-

Lumine: Dont you dare.

Fischl: Hm?

Chongyun: I said nothing.

Xiangling: Why dont you quit being an exorcist and become Lumine's personal maid or something.

Chongyun: What??

Lumine: That's not a bad idea.

Chongyun: Don't agree with them!?

Fischl: I can make the arrangements for a dress, akin to a maid uniform, be made.

Chongyun: No please.

Xiangling: I can ask his parents for his measurements.

Chongyun: ...

Lumine: Ok but are we gonna eat or not? If you three are gonna keep messing around I might as well head to bed.

Xiangling: Ah right, the food!

Lumine: Maid, I thought you were getting me tea?

Chongyun: I'm not a maid!!

Fischl: Might as well be.

Chongyun: Why bulli.
