After the three of you ate to your hearts' content, everyone went to one of the temples to help the Knights of Favonius out. The ones you met at the temples were Amber, Kaeya and Lisa. 

Despite Lisa being a librarian, she informed you of what might have pressured Dvalin to attack Mondstadt, the city he was made to protect under the command of Barbatos. In the end, the woman gave you a book that described the history of a few hundred years ago.

Aether stretched his arms above his head, letting out a big sigh. "We're finally done, and it seems like the weather has improved as well."

"Yeah, it's finally done." The fairy nodded her head, smiling. "Well, all that "ley flow" and "elemental lines" stuff Lisa was going on about should hopefully be back to normal."

Knowing what Paimon was about to ask next, you interrupted her. "We can rest now, right? At least for a few hours before we go and see Jean or something."

The male nodded his head. "I agree. We've been walking all day and haven't really gotten a chance to relax yet. It would be nice to just sit down somewhere and enjoy the scenery."

"Paimon goes with whatever you guys are feeling, so Paimon doesn't mind," she said, flying to you before sitting on your head once again.

You chuckled, thinking about throwing your head forwards just to scare her, but Aether's knowing facial expression prevented you from doing it.

"Well, if you want a change of scenery, how about we go sit somewhere and catch some fishes? By doing something so leisurely, we might as well stock up on ingredients to cook later on." You shrugged.

Paimon rubbed her tiny hands, giggling like a madman. "Yes! More food!"

You grimaced at her words. "Buttface, if you constantly eat all of our food, you're going to have to participate in collecting the ingredients as well."

She made a shocked sound, as if you offended her entire bloodline. "Excuse you?! Paimon already helps with gathering ingredients!"

Your blond friend let out a snort, hands placed on his hips. You raised a questioning eyebrow at his sudden shift in demeanor. "Last time you helped me, you collected leaves from bushes instead of berries."

The small girl grumbled, displeased at him revealing something embarrassing. "You didn't exactly tell me what I should collect, so how was I supposed to know?"

You tried to stifle a laugh that was slowly bubbling up in your throat. "Seems like you're an airhead as well."

"Hey!"

"Ow! Hey! Why'd pull my hair like that?!" You snapped your hands up, trying to get her off your head before she makes you bald. Luckily, she quickly flew behind Aether, cowering behind his shoulder.
