Third person POV
Diluc decided to break the silence and suggested that they explore around Liyue themselves. "Sure, we have plenty of time before Lumine and Paimon returns after all," Said (y/n). They walked along the streets of Liyue, walking pass shops and talking. "Its been a few years since I've been to Liyue, I'm surprised that it changed quite a bit from what I remembered," Said Diluc.

They got some food and enjoyed a nice snack.
Lumine and Paimon wasn't back after sunset so they decided to go book a hotel room. They booked a room for two and went to bed that night.

(Y/N) woke up the next day to find Diluc already up. Diluc was looking outside through the window. "Oh, you wake up early," Said (y/n), grabbing Diluc's arm and hugging it. Diluc rested his head on (y/n) head. Although (y/n) is a Fatui Harbinger, she is still cute and quite different than what he expected a Fatui Harbinger to be like.

"I wonder if Lumine and Paimon have returned to Liyue yet from wherever they went to, I'm very wary of your brother. He seems like the type to play tricks don't you think?" Said Diluc.

(Y/N) laughed. "No, my brother is the type who loves the 'thrill of battle', he rarely play tricks. He would much rather fight someone head on in a fair fight," Said (y/n). Diluc made a 'hmm' noise. They got dressed (in different places ofc) and went to get some breakfast.

They walked around Liyue and bumped into Childe.

(Y/N) POV
We bumped into my brother near Northland bank. "Aww! Look! It's the lovebirds!" Said Childe. "Shut it you!" I said, slapping Childe.
"Ow! Sis!" wined Childe. "Anyways, when do you think Lumine and Paimon would be back?" I Said.

"Probably by tonight. I'm setting up a business dinner with Mr Zhongli, you remember him, do you?" Said Childe.

Zhongli? That guy who knows a lot about Liyue'a history and also works in a company which conducts funerals? Yeah that should be the guy.

"Yeah, I think I know who you are referring to. I don't know why you would set a business dinner with Mr Zhongli though. Doesn't he help conduct funerals? What? You want him to help Lumine to hold Rex Lapis a funeral and she will be free?" I Said, not really getting what Childe wants.

I was thinking when it hit me. Oh right, he wants to get Rex Lapis' gnosis from the body.

Childe laughed. "Maybe, everyone deserves a funeral when they die right? I don't think the Qixing has organized or even began planning one for Rex Lapis, how sad!"

I slapped Childe again, the way he said it makes it sound like he was mocking Liyue's Qixing and it's Archon. "Shut it, I don't want to hear your crap now. Let's go," I walked away from Childe with Diluc following behind me.

We had a quick breakfast before planning out our day. I was examining Diluc's hair, it looked very fluffy and it reminds me of how fluffy dogs in Snezhnaya can get. "Hey Diluc? Just a random question but... is your hair fluffy?" I Said awkwardly. Diluc blushed, he didn't say anything but his face says it all. His.Hair.Was.FLUFFY!

"I can touch your ponytail, please?" I said, making puppy eyes. Diluc was very pink, he nodded just the slightest. I touched his low ponytail, and it was like I was petting one of the fluffiest dogs in Snezhnaya.

(A/N): Nobody knows if Diluc's hair is actually fluffy but I imagine it would be fluffy

Diluc POV
(Y/N) is touching my ponytail, she seems to like it. I've been to Snezhnaya once and saw how fluffy animals there can be...do I remind her of those? I want to tell her she looks cute when she's sleeping but what if she thinks I'm a weirdo because I watched her sleep for a while? Maybe this relationship can work out after all!

I looked at (y/n)'s hair, it reminds me a bit of Kaeya but only a bit. Surely people from Snezhnaya has fluffy hair too, right?

I gave (y/n) a pat on the head, she seems to be surprised yet happy. If she had a tail I bet it would be wagging.

Third person POV
(Y/N) and Diluc spent the time before lunch doing some commissions from the adventurers guild, clearing out Hilichurl camps, saving people from Hilichurls etc.

They got some Jade Parcels for lunch, it was delicious. (Y/N) knew some places in Liyue was very scenic. "I know a place where we can hangout at, come on!" Said (y/n), leading the way. They soon reached the place, it was a hill that over looked a peaceful pond with butterflies flying around. It took them a while to get there so it was going to be sunset soon. "Just wait..." Said (y/n).

The sun was setting, there was appearing slowly as it got darker, the fireflies were flying around the pond, creating a prefect reflection of the night sky with some extra dots of light slowly as the sun sets.

"Woah..." whispered Diluc.

Random fact about (y/n): her delusion's element is electro

"Let's return to Liyue now? Lumine and Paimon should be there by now surely," Said (y/n), giving Diluc a quick hug before standing up. "Yeah, lets go," Said Diluc

They returned to Liyue harbor.
