PAIMON GAPED, her face donning a shocked expression. "You're telling Paimon that this is (Y/n) (L/n)?! The lady we needed to find for the commission?!"
The alchemist nodded his head, his expression being no different than his usual unfazed one. "If (Y/n) (L/n) is the person you needed to find, it is indeed correct that you've already found her."
"Huh, who knew the crazy lady was the one we needed to find," Paimon sighed out of exhaustion, collapsing on the ground next to you.
"Hey, Albedo. You seem to know (Y/n). Are you guys friends?" Aether asked, his tone filled with curiosity as he had no idea that Albedo had any friends outside of the Knights of Favonius.
"'Friends' is a bit of a stretch," Albedo corrected as he brewed up a warming potion for you once you wake. "We're acquainted. (Y/n) tends to visit whenever she's doing a job in Dragonspine. Other than that, our relationship is no better than that of coworkers."
"Aw, how boring," Paimon complained. "Paimon was hoping you would've made friends by now! It's probably lonely when you're here all by yourself."
"The cute little flying girl is right," you suddenly spoke up as you nodded your head in agreement. "You need friends. It's boring being alone."
"See?! Wait-" Paimon paused, turning to look at you before her expression contorted into one of surprise. "When did you wake up?!"
"A little after Albedo got here," you softly answered as you simply shrugged your shoulders. "Around the time you started talking about Albedo being a loner."
"I wouldn't say I'm a loner-"
"Well, it's about time!" Paimon exclaimed furiously as she started to float back up into the air. "Kathryne sent us out here to find you because you were taking too long!"
"Kathryne sent you?" You questioned as you placed yourself onto your feet and stood up. Upon seeing Paimon and the traveler nod, you soon apologized. "I'm sorry, I guess I lost track of time."
"Lost track of time?!" Paimon asked incredulously with a hint of annoyance. "You've been missing for two weeks!"
"Two weeks huh?" You repeated before bowing with an apologetic expression. "I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused you."
Paimon sighed with a shrug. "Well, you may be ditzy, but at least you're aware."
Aether deadpanned, staring at Paimon for the comment before turning back to you. "It's okay. Let's head back to the city so that Kathryne can stop worrying."
"Alrighty then," you agreed, picking up your spear then making it vanish. "Let's just teleport to the city waypoint, it'll be faster."
"Okie dokie! Let's go!" Paimon exclaimed, turning to face Albedo as she waved her tiny little hand. "Bye Albedo!"
