14.

You let out a loud huff from remembering that you can't speak horse language. But you do know some helpful tricks from none other than the Cavalry Captain. He gave you tips for everyone you helped him with something, knowing that you had been learned animal speech for a while. You remembered quite a few of them and started from one to another. 

~Timeskip~

Yeah, that didn't work. You managed to call every animal around instead of a horse. You then went back to where the cart was and saw Xingqiu and Chongyun sat on a rock.

They continued giggling as the horses kept snuggling against their faces. "How did you get both of them?" "Ask Xingqiu," Xingqiu smiled and shook his head.

"That's a secret between me and Chongyun~" "Oh come on! I should start speaking horse language," you pouted. "What do you mean by that?" "They can speak to some animals! It's really cool, they once saved me..." Bennett started ranting about how you saved him with this special ability.

It seemed as if the time flew by and you were now helping Xiangling carry boxes to the kitchen. "Thanks for the help! I don't know how I could have cooked dishes without your help!" She thanked all of you over and over again until you stopped her. 

"It wasn't much of a bother, we did have fun this whole time, right?" You asked and the boys agreed. Chef Mao then called Xiangling into the kitchen as she apologized and ran off. That made you giggle.

"We should get going. We did have other plans today, didn't we?" Xingqiu lifted a brow after turning his head to Chongyun. "Ah.. Yeah, that. Excuse us, it was nice meeting you. Hope we can talk some time again!" And with that, they jogged away.

"Well, anything you want to do? We've been doing stuff that I wanted to do since we arrived. Do you have any plans?" You looked at Bennett. "Actually I still don't know LIyue very well but I do want to visit the harbor, I heard there are tons of ships there!" You smiled.

"What do you think is a harbor for?" You ruffled his hair and started walking towards the destination. "Well, what are you waiting for? We're going to see the ships!" He seemed to hesitate for a moment but quickly nodded and went to your side. 

"Huh, there's 4 ships here today. More than usual," you smiled to yourself and continued walking closer to them. "How many are here usually?" "One of two, guess today is a trading day," "Trading day?" Bennett asked more and more questions about Liyue every day. 

"Yeah, Trading between nations. It seems that today's nation is Inazuma. Heard it's been closed or something like that, I didn't plan on listening into gossip so I left," "Why would it be closed?" "I'm guessing due to most recent events, the Vision Hunt Decree," "What's that?" 

"You sure ask a lot of questions..." you explained what's currently going on in Inazuma as you neared a familiar ship. You went on board to see the reactions of others. "Hey! Stop right there, who are you?" An unfamiliar face stood in front of you.

"Despite Inazuma's status... There are new recruits. Great, but I need someone from older times. Could you bring a person over for me little guy?" "I'm not little! And I'll have to bring you over to Captain Beidou's office for intruding," they said in a threatening voice.

"Heh, that's the place I wanted to get to actually. Thanks~!" The person huffed and lead you to the place. After knocking on the door a voice boomed in your ears. "Come in," "Captain, There were two intruders on board," they bowed in front of her desk. 

"Who? Bring them in. I'd like to share a word or few with them," she intertwined her hands and looked up. They dragged you in as you almost fell from the strength. "Jeez, you don't have to be so rude," you pouted.

"Y/n?" She slowly said and get up. "Hi!" She didn't say anything back but instead just hugged you as tight as she could. "You're going to break me! Haha, haven't seen you in such a long time," you two were now holding each other's arms. 

"Where were you all this time?" "I missed you too. And this time I'm actually staying here for some time, hope you can come back fast enough," "Hah, is that a challenge? Of course I'll come back for you, I haven't seen you in years!" She let out a smirk.

"And who's this? Your boyfriend? Didn't think you'd have the guts to ask someone out," Beidou started examining Bennett. "No, we're adventure buddies. Come on you don't have to embarrass me every time I hang out with a boy," "As your aunt, I actually do," Beidou chuckled. 

"You claimed yourself as my aunt, there's nothing that makes us biologically connected," "Come on, you don't have to ruin the fun~ Anyways, what's your name?" "Bennett," "Never heard of it. But treat Y/n right or you're going to have to deal with me," "Beidou!" "What~?" You facepalmed.

"Just- Ugh, who are these two shorties?" "Shorties? Really, you couldn't think of anything better?" The blonde one deadpanned as Beidou burst out laughing. "The blonde's Lumine. And the other one's Kazuha," well that surely answered your question.

"Are they your kids now?" "I only claim Kazuha as my child, Lumine is finding her brother," "So that means Kazuha is like my cousin?" "Yup, get along you two," she smiled and you giggled while looking at the confused Kazuha. 

"Oh right... I heard your earlier conversation," he said after a tough minute of thinking about what's going on. That made all of you start laughing, even Kazuha. "Well that's one way to understand something," you finally spoke after calming down. 

"Anyways, you two better get off. We're going off to Inazuma in 2 minutes. Don't leave Liyue before I come back or I'll go over to Mondstadt to find you. Or even over Teyvat if I need to," "Beidou, I'm not gonna leave for at least a month, I have a huge mission here," all of you bid your goodbyes and you left the ship.

I have been getting many comments about forget Bennett's friends but for future forgetfulness about people, I have ADHD, check my bio :)
