"May the Anemo God protect you, stranger! My name is Amber, Outrider for the Knights of Favonius! You don't look like a citizen of Mondstadt. Explain yourselves!"

Okay, who does she think she is...

"W-We're not looking for trouble!" Paimon exclaimed, trying to defend themselves.

"Well, that's what all the troublemakers say."

Girl, I-

Seeing how [Name] was already annoyed as the said male narrowed his eyes toward the Outrider who didn't notice, Aether immediately introduced themselves, don't want the brunette girl to make things worse. "My name is Aether, and this is [Name]." Aether is introduced, and when [Name] is introduced, the said male just gives a nod to Outrider. "....Doesn't sound like a local name to me. And this...mascot, what's the deal with it?" The Outrider asks and before Aether introduces Paimon or Paimon wants to introduce herself, [Name] immediately cuts them off.

"This young lady here, is our emergency food, Paimon." And this makes Aether almost try to contain himself from laughing while Paimon glares at the (H/c) haired male.

"Hey! What do you mean by that! That's even worse than being called a mascot!"

This makes [Name] snicker.

"So in conclusion, you three are travel partners, right? Well, there's been a large dragon in sight around Mondstadt recently. Which best all of you get inside the city as soon as possible." Amber said and this caught the trio's attention as soon as they heard the word 'dragon'. 'Dragon...? Does she mean the dragon that we saw earlier?' [Name] thought as he silently glanced at Aether and Paimon, who glance back before all three of them glanced toward Amber so they didn't get suspicious. 

"It's not far from here, I'll escort you three there."

"Oh? Aren't you out here for some other reason?"

"I am. But not to worry, I can keep you three safe while doing that too. Besides... I'm still not sure if I can trust you three just yet!"

Bruh-

Couldn't take it anymore, [Name] decided to speak up. "Wow, never knew the citizens of Mondstadt were THIS rude. Despite that, this is our first time meeting, and you already accused us?" [Name] call out, already don't like her first impression as he cross his arm against his chest narrowing his eyes, which make Amber couldn't help but let out a squeak of intimidation thanks to [Name]. "Ahh, Master [Name], calm down! S-Sorry about him..." "No, no! I'm supposed to say sorry. Probably not something I should say as a knight... I give you three my apologies, uhh.... Strange yet... Respectable travelers?" 

That sounds so fake. As if Paimon understood what [Name] had thought, she yelled.

"That sounded so fake!"

"Do you have something against the type of language usage prescribed by the Knight of Favonius Handbook?!"

Ok, I don't like this girl.... At all...

As Amber leads the trio to Mondstadt, she starts the conservation. "So, suspicious travelers, what are you doing in Mondstadt?" Amber asked. 

"Well, Aether here, he got separated from his sister during a really, really long journey. Paimon and Master [Name] are his travel buddies, helping him to find his sister while being a guide in this world." 

"Oh, looking for your family..." 

Amber glanced at Aether, who had a sad look on his face, and knowing this, Amber knew how much Aether missed his sister, and she had an idea. " Okay! Let me finish my other stuff first, and then I can help you put up the posters around the city!"
