"Ah jeez... Where's he staying tonight?" Paimon asked Xinyan, staring at a drunk Kazuha.

"Not too sure." She shrugged. "I got a room about a block away and when I asked if he needed one, he said he had a friend in Mondstadt he'd stay with. Would that friend be you?"

The traveler sighed, shaking their head. "No, I don't have a permanent residence here since I'm never really here for longer than a week at a time."

"Yeah! Paimon and Traveler just get a room at the inn nearby." Paimon added, body wiggling as she floated.

"Mmh..." Kazuha mumbled, arms crossed on the table in front of him. He nestled his face into his arms, a bit of drool dripping down the side of his face. "...N... Miss... ou... Y/N..." His voice trailed off, dragging out the last syllable of the name he uttered.

"Y...N? Paimon's heard that name before..." She mumbled, crossing her arms as she spoke.

"Y/N?" Venti suddenly asked, having come back from talking to Charles at the counter. "The same Y/N that hangs out around Wolvendom every chance they get? Adventurer's Guild Y/N?"

"Oh! Right, them. But, since when does Kazuha know them?" The Traveler asked, glancing back at Kazuha.

"They just took a trip to Liyue recently, plus they've been friends with Captain Beidou for ages." Venti said with a smile, hands balled into fists on his hips. "That's where Kazuha spends most of his time, isn't it?"

"That's... Fair." Xinyan mumbled, arms crossed over her chest as she stared down at the sleeping Inazuman.

"Kazuha?" A voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the tavern.

The Traveler, Paimon, and the other two conscious friends all turned towards the door. They watched as you walked to the bar, starting to talk to Charles. You seemed to be describing something before they saw Charles laugh and point towards the group of misfits.

You sighed in relief and thanked Charles before making your way to the table. You looked between the four, blinking a couple of times before noticing who they were.

"Oh- oh my." You laughed. "Sorry, Traveler, Venti. I was a little preoccupied— mind was a little clouded." You then noticed Xinyan and smiled. "Ah— hey there."

"Oh! Y/N- I thought that name was familiar. Sorry I hadn't recognized it earlier." She apologized.

You and Xinyan became friends after a commission to escort someone to a concert— She was the main performer. You'd praised her performance and complimented her music style and genre, and you two had gotten close since not many people in Liyue found rock music entertaining. You knew Traveler and Paimon since you'd joined them on a couple of expeditions around Wolvendom and various parts of Liyue. As for Venti... You'd met him at Angel's Share— the same tavern you're all in now. You worked for Diluc a couple of times before when the tavern was low on staff, and he had needed assistance kicking out a noisy drunkard— that just so happened to be Venti.

"Don't worry about it, it happens." You reassured. Your vision finally landed on Kazuha, peacefully sleeping and drooling onto the thick fabric of his sleeves. "Ah jeez... Did he drink?"

Venti laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "It was an accident, Y/N, I swear."

"Sure it was." You grumbled.

"So, you are the one he's staying with for the night?" Traveler suddenly spoke up.

You nodded, making your way to the sleeping boy. "Ah- yeah. He contacted me sometime yesterday and said he was coming to Mondstadt for a little adventure." You sighed, staring down at him.
