Lumine hummed a sweet tune as she strolled down the path. She had a small grin on her face as she admired the beautiful scenery.

She sat on the grass and looked up at the sky as she leaned back.

The sun warmed her skin lightly.

She heard a light shimmer as she opened her eyes and looked to her side.

There he was, looking at the sky right beside her.

"Hello Xiao! Why have you come here?" She turned on her side to face him.

He turned his head and looked at her. He hesitated a bit before opening his mouth to answer.

"I am... taking a break. Like you said." He admitted that he listened to her advice. Of course he was embarrassed to admit it, so he turned his head away from her.

"I'm glad! Everyone needs breaks! I have been meaning to ask you though.. you have a contract with Rex lapis, correct?" Lumine asked as she stayed laying on her side.

Xiao turned to face her.

"I do." His answer was quick.

"What would happen if you broke the contract?" Lumine was genuinely curious since she had no understanding of the adeptus and archon world. It was knew to her, she'd never heard of this stuff until she arrived in Mondstadt.

"I'd suffer for eternity until I died a slow and painful death." Xiao slightly stiffened when she asked her question.

Lumine stared at him for a moment. Soon she laid back down and stared at the clouds.

"Will you tell me stories about Rex Lapis?"

"If you wish."
