You've always heard about Captain Beidou, and with sheer luck, today her boat is docked near you and Qiqi's favorite place to hang out together and splash each other with water. You steal a glance at her ship and are practically breathless at it. Your eyes travel down from the sails to the busy starboard side of the ship, and you watch intently at the workers replenishing the food, visitors getting off, and momentarily forget about your little zombie friend.
"What.. are you looking at?" Qiqi says, tugging on your sleeve gently. you shake your head and smile apologetically at Qiqi. "I'm sorry, I was just looking at that boat." You then bend down and splash her with water. Qiqi smiles, something that always seems to warm up your day since this little zombie has not much to say when it comes to emotion, so seeing her smile makes you feel special. You two play around for a bit, and amidst the splashes issuing from your playing, you notice someone at the corner of your eye.
Looking to the side, you see someone who reminded you of your friend Aether. You take note of his white hair with a red streak, his Anemo vision, and his samurai armor. Looking closely at his vision, you realize he's from Inazuma. You're jolted from your thoughts however as a splash of water drenches your face. You turn away and send a big splash towards Qiqi. And as you two return to the pharmacy, you can't seem to get that scarlet-eyed stranger out of your head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wake up at dawn, inhaling the undisturbed air of early morn and the unnatural peace you rarely find here in Liyue. Normally, you'd grab a cup of tea and think about work and life in general, but today was different. The smiling face of that white-haired stranger you saw yesterday haunted your thoughts, as you sip your tea, you wonder what he was doing on Beidou's ship. Probably works there, I mean why else would he be on her ship? Your mind starts whirring with reasons why he could be on her ship, and your warm tea soon gets cold as the sun rises. You sigh, put down your tea, and head to the pharmacy counter. Today was not unlike your usual workdays, people asking for medicine and remedies, people who need recipes for natural and homemade remedies, and the occasional urgent medical help. You sigh, after handing out a bottle for colds.
You write the name of the bottle down in a piece of parchment when another customer steps up. You groan inwardly and say in a dull voice, "Welcome to Bubu pharmacy, how can I help you?" You then look up, and you stop in your tracks as the scarlet eyes you saw yesterday locked with yours.
