Gazing out at the ocean's view, she was the first to break the silence between them." So, how have you been? Have you been traveling with them this whole time?" She questioned.

"I've been good. I figured traveling with them would be for the best," he answered.

"Do you enjoy sailing, then?"

"In truth, not every night out at sea is filled with wind and waves. When the weather is clear, the moonlight flows over the rippling water, and schools of fish circle the ship's hull. At moments like that, when I look out into the distance from the prow, I feel like this journey is worth it... The sailors' singing is the only thing that takes away from that feeling. They're so loud... don't they need to sleep?" He responded to her, who took in every word before letting out a small chuckle.

"That truly does sound wonderful. Though, maybe some other time, when things have died down on the hunt for me, I will join you on a journey across the sea." She commented.

"That sounds like a great idea." He expressed with a smile.

With nothing else to say, they bask in the presence of each other, looking out to the void sea before continuing to converse throughout the evening and most of the night until they decided to rest for the few remaining hours until they finally made it to Liyue.

Arriving in Liyue, Beidou woke her up so she could get ready. Already tired from the lack of sleep, she got talking to Kazuha all night. Carrying her luggage would wear her out before she even reached the Inn.

Finally, finding the strength to get up, she put on a dress she had brought from Inazuma. Now she was gathering her bags, making sure she had everything with her before making her way out when she ran into Kazuha again in the hallway.

"Would you like some help? Your bags look quite heavy," He asked, giving her a small smile, one that brightened her mood immediately.

"That would be lovely, um.. are you guys leaving right away? I'd love to treat you and Beidou to some food and drinks after I settle in and rest," she asks and walks with the male to the deck of the ship to make her way off.

"I don't believe so. We'll probably be resting here for a bit. We've been exploring a lot recently." She nods as Kazuha takes some of her bags from her.

"I'll probably make my way towards Mondstadt next week. The further I am from home means I'll have more time to relax and, hopefully, see my old friend who resides there."

"If you'd like, I can escort you to Wangshu Inn. It only takes a few hours to walk there, but I'd be delighted to ensure your safety to at least halfway," he stated, which made the girl smile.

"That would be nice, but are you sure? That's still quite far, at least stay the night if so. Could you also inform Beidou of my offer as well?" She answers.

"If milady insists, It'd be quite rude to deny. Anyway, I'm sure she'll accept." He responds as they walk through the streets of Liyue Harbour to the Inn she'll be staying at.

After a while of walking, they made it to the Inn. "Hello, can I get a room for one, please?" She asked the Innkeeper.

"Of course! How long will you be staying?" The Innkeeper asked as she got a set of keys.
