Remnant (GI x Male Reader)

Act 0, Part 6: The First Temple

Mondstadt Region, Teyvat

"Hey, Amber! Slow down, my hand is gonna rip off-!"

"No time! We've got to be fast!"

(Y/N) groaned as Amber pulled him through the streets of Mondstadt, an obvious excited and determined shine in her golden orbs as (Y/N) tried his best not to trip under her zealous rush.

"Paimon thinks we should slow down. After all, our adventure is going to get more and more dangerous, we shouldn't go into it unprepared. At least, Paimon thinks so." Paimon gave her opinion, Amber skidding to a stop as (Y/N) almost stumbled past her, Amber letting go of his hand.

"Haha, I guess you have a point. Alright. Let's stock up on some supplies and be on our way! We can't dally for too long, though, Kaeya and Lisa are waiting on you!" Amber gave a soft laugh, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

"I know. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared at least, right?" (Y/N), after almost falling and barely managing to stabilize himself from Amber's rush, slowly balanced himself as his shouldered cloak-cape waved in the wind.

"Ooh! Paimon knows what we should get! First, food! Then...uh...um..." Paimon spoke, before stuttering as she tried to think of other things, Amber and (Y/N) gazing at her blankly.

"You just want food, don't you?" (Y/N) accused, Paimon letting out a nervous giggle.

"Um...maybe." Paimon scratched the back of her head awkwardly, hovering before the two.

"It's fine. Although I've already got that part covered, haha." Amber grinned, a teasing expression on her face as Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Really?!" Paimon's eyes shone with a starry gaze, drool forming on the edge of her lips as Amber nodded with a smile.

"But-! No food just yet. We'll save it for a special occasion." Amber gave a sly smile, Paimon's eyes fizzling from their starry shine.

"Aww...alright. But Paimon will hold you to that!" Paimon pouted, (Y/N) chuckling as he pat her head.

"I'd say we're fine on supplies for now, regardless. It's true that there are probably a few more things we could get, but it shouldn't take too long to clear out the Temple, so we'll be fine. Besides, Amber does have a point, Kaeya and Miss Lisa are waiting on us. Although...I am a bit curious." (Y/N) suddenly stopped, before he turned to Amber, who met his gaze of curiosity with a small tilt of her head.

"Is something up?" Amber asked curiously.

"Um, before we leave, can we pay a visit to the local Blacksmith? I want to check something out regarding my new sword." (Y/N) spoke, a hand to his chin in thought.

"Paimon thought you liked the new sword, (Y/N)." Paimon remarked curiously, her hands behind her back as she floated in place.

"I do. But, it feels a bit strange. I want to...confirm a theory of mine." (Y/N) explained, a relaxed smile on his face as he locked eyes with the two, who merely shrugged at his words.

"Um...sure. Wagner's place isn't far from here, come on!" Amber rushed off, (Y/N) and Paimon following shortly after as the three ran through the streets of Mondstadt, eventually arriving at the central plaza as Amber slowed down to a walk, (Y/N) and Paimon shortly catching up to her.
