Elaine mentally sighed as she still felt that same presence that follows her made her feel unpleasant. It feels like the demi-servant that the Wangshu Inn was that it's their territory even though the Inn is a resting place for merchants and travellers who were coming from afar to, either chatting among themselves or viewing from the top to see Mt. Qingce and Jueyun Karst. It also said that this inn has a mysterious secret but far as the legend goes, no one has ever been able to verify these claims.

'Well it seems that person isn't wary of me since the beginning which I glad for it though, but I wonder why they watching me...' The grey-haired girl thought and went to a waitress as decided to order a quick meal to go because the last meal she had wasn't enough to fill her stomach.

"Excuse me? Can I order something to go?" Elaine asked the waitress who nodded at her who took out her small notebook and pencil then the young girl coughed a little before she began, "I would like five chicken-skewers and five grilled tiger fish with large portion of qingce rice."

As she wrote what the young girl wanted then paused at the moment and looked at little perplexed. "...Is this order only for you only, young customer?" The waitress asked which Elaine nodded at her.

"Yes it is. Though I would order more, but it would bother the other customers and the chef that the food will be shorten. I hope this wouldn't be too much that I asked for it and also I want to pick up my order by myself." The Demi-Servant said.

The waitress nodded at her explanation, "Please wait for a moment. Your meal will be ready soon as possible." Then she leaves as other customers called her over while Elaine went further upstairs to see the breath taken view once more.

"This is sure is different from Mondstadt. From the mountains, to buildings, people and everything." She said out loud and closed her eyes at this moment to feel the cool wind brushed gently her face.

"But, the wind is still the same."

"You think so? I think the winds here or other nations are different from ours." Said Thoma from behind which Elaine opened one of her eyes but didn't looked at him for a moment.

"The wind is freedom. It takes many shapes but never changes as it still moves like time and the world. So, the anemo archon watching over us which steps we take." Elaine spoked full of wisdom then she turned against him. "I never thought that you would get homesick so quickly, Thoma."

The blond haired boy was startled as Elaine said that to him and it quite alarming him that she knows that.

"H-how did you know that?" He asked which the demi-servant replied him.

"I'm quite observant to human's emotion and their desire ever since I got adopted. I was troubled with the fact that my emotion was not there before, so I watching the people to learn even if I don't understand them most of it." She paused to catching her breath then continued, "I know that you don't to let people down for your own hidden feelings since you are an easy-going person. However don't bottle up your feelings; it's not good for you. If you feel going to cry, anger, ect. then do it when the time has come to face it."

Thoma gaped a little and wided his eyes of what she said it to him.

"Excuse me, dear guest?" The same waitress that Elaine ordered food from her interrupted them. "Your order is now ready to be picking up, young miss."

Elaine perked as her packed food is now ready for her to devour it. She passed Thoma and places her hand to his shoulder then said to him with a kind smile.
