Immortal | Aether x Venti | Genshin Impact

To Liyue, once again

Third Person's POV

Mona stretches her arms upwards as she waits for the others to get to the set meeting place, which is where she currently is. It was already the next day. Nothing much happened yesterday. Venti played songs for the people, Aether did his daily tasks, reports along with Paimon. While Mona simply did some readings. 

She was looking quite drowsy. Bags under her eyes, a face that looked extremely tired. She was nodding off a little and falling asleep but waking up immediately every once in a while. She came to the place rather early, being a little too worried if they missed the event. She doesn't even know if Aether and the others are already awake. She at least hopes so.

Mona has already drank some coffee in her house, taken a bath, but still feeling sleepy. She's maybe had at least 4 - 5 hours of sleep? Seems quite a lot but it's definitely not enough for the energy she's going to need when they walk to Liyue. She groans just remembering how daunting that is.

"Mona! We're here!" Paimon says in her usual high-pitched voice as she floats toward Mona, who was looking really exhausted. Mona waves, effortlessly, Paimon notices her fatigue so, she gave a worried look.

"Are you okay?" Paimon asks, floating and then sitting in front of Mona at the table. Mona sits straight up, telling herself to snap out of it.

"Yeah, I am. You don't have to worry." Mona sloppily pats her head, looking as if she's about to pass out.

"We can go later if you want? There's still some time." Venti chips into the conversation as he sits down in the seat in front of her. Aether then follows, sitting next to Venti. 

"The trip to go there is going to take a lot of time. Not to mention, I have to return earlier than all of you." Mona sighs, accepting that this day is going to be quite long. She uses her hand and wipes her face, trying to massage it and wake up every muscle. Slapping her cheeks and forcefully opening her eyes. Venti and the others simply look at her with worry.

"Now, pity is going to get you nowhere. The coffee will kick in soon enough so, we should start walking." She says, standing up from her seat and pushing it forward. Worriedly, the others do the same but, they know that they can't convince Mona sit and wait.

"Are we ready?" Aether asks, looking at the others. Paimon and Venti nods, looking energized and completely ready but Mona on the other hand, looks as if the world is about to collapse.
