Sometimes life changes for no reason. The interesting thing is whether these changes are good or bad.
Does waking up in an unknown world with many people who develop a crush on you count as a nice thing?
I. Am. Back. And I am pretty sure that my exams didnt go well. If someone is thinking about learning something in connection with physics, do your research about your possible future teachers. If your teacher is shít, your exams will be too. This generally goes for every subject, but in my opinion teaching yourself physics is one of the more painful things. But the positive thing is that, under normal circumstances, I am free from that from now on. Yay.
Another good thing is that, as long as my health doesn't decide to be a bítch, I can update more frequently from now on.

In silence, your small group consistent of you, your pink companion, a mass murderer and his innocent little brother walk on a quiet road that leads out of Liyue. While Teucer chews on some sweets you bought on your way, you and Childe simply don't talk because there is nothing to talk about that wouldn't draw some unwanted attention to you.
The walk itself isn't exhausting or awkward, but occasionally seeing small groups of Fatui members doesn't give you good vibes.
'I hope that they dont cause any problems to civilians, not more than normally at least.'
A long walk later, you arrive at a camp. The few Fatui Skirmishers that are present quickly stand up and seem to wait for an order or something similar, which the Harbinger gives them. 'Would you do me the favor of taking care of my little brother over here? I will return in a few hours and I hope for you that everything is still nicely in order until then.'
'But whyyy? I want to go with you. It is way more fun with you and (Y-'
'Teucer, I am sure your big brother has to go something really important or maybe he is planning an awesome surprise for you. You just have to be patient and I am sure that he will spend some time with you later. If it cheers you up, I can play with you in the meantime.', you pet the pouting child's head in order to show your sympathy.
'Actually, you have to come with me, so your playtime has to wait until later. Sorry to disappoint you.', Childe corrects you.
You send the sad boy to the others with a sigh and follow the Snezhnayan diplomat with hasty steps.
Being alone with him, he immediately begins speaking more casually again. 'Thanks to you I have to look additionally for a present now. As if I hadn't enough to do. Ah, and could you please take off that mask? I constantly have to remind myself that you're not just some Fatui member. You should be safe around here after all.'
Besides taking off your mask, you also loosen up your clothes and put away your hat so that you and Rosa can properly breath again. 'First of all, it is not my problem that Teucer feels kinda neglected by you and doesn't know anything about your actual career choices. Secondly, how can you people walk around in the warmer regions with sets of clothes like this?'
'It is only a matter of strong will.'
I don't think that a strong will is the key element to avoid a circulatory collapse. And as for the present, if you don't know what to give him – I would suggest a plushy or figure of a Ruinguard. He really seems to love them.'
