Scaramouche was known to have a foul mouth that spat haughtily and eyes full of judgment. Now take someone like Y/n, and you'll have another sharp mouth, shrouded in mock submiss...

Turns out that Zhongli, Childe, and Xiangling had moved to dine within Liuli (Glaze) Pavillion. Entering the place, Y/n realized that it was where Childe had introduced the Traveller to Zhongli, in this case, Lumine. However, it was an event that has yet to occur in the future.
Xiangling had went to ask the owner of the establishment for permission to use the kitchen and they had agreed since it was the famous Chef Xiangling. She immediately notified them of the jolly news and went straight to the kitchen with Guoba.
As they waited, the sound of porcelain clinking caught Y/n's attention as she took a seat next to Scaramouche. Zhongli was about to pour himself a cup of hot green tea when she suddenly stood up and walked over to the man with a woven bag in hand.
"I almost forgot! Your old friend pays respects." Y/n smiled and took out two bottles of dandelion wine. Zhongli's eyes widened as the wind brought the scent of refreshing dandelions under his nose. His eyes softened as she poured him a cup of the clear liquid he hadn't tasted in a while.
"This aroma brings back pleasant memories. Please do express my gratitude the next time you see him," his rich voice was laced with appreciation as he took the cup filled with wine and drank. "Some things just don't change, like this cup of wine."
Silence followed his sentiments but that did not prevent him from voicing his curiosity.
"I assume you were in Mondstadt before? How did you come to know that alcoholic bard I call a friend?"
"Pfft, he would be very offended at your words. I encountered him in a bar, unsurprisingly." Scaramouche frowned since he knew what happened that day. The girl had not only gotten herself wasted by competing with the bard notorious for his alcohol addiction, but she had also ended up in Diluc's residence. "And I had a fierce competition with him and ended up becoming his friend! I was going to visit Liyue anyway so he requested to give this to you."
"I see. That sounds very much like you two," he chuckled. He found it very pleasing to talk to someone who knew the carefree Archon.
"That reminds me, how come the director came with you? And did you find the culprit of the fire?" Childe intercepted smoothly. He actually just wanted you two to stop talking. Scaramouche shared his thoughts and closed his eyes in content.
The Balladeer opened his mouth. "We caught the culprit and brought her here, can't you see?"
Zhongli's expression darkened as he gazed at Hu Tao, who sat across from him with a cheeky grin that held no remorse. She had stayed quiet the entire time in hopes of avoiding Zhongli from nagging at her.
