It was a sunny day. The sunshine was warm on Teyvat and everyone looked vibrant, even the plants and animals.

'Hm...I wonder what's Xiao is doing.' wondered the traveler, Lumine. 

Lumine is a traveler who is on the journey to find her lost brother. She is now going to Wangshu Inn to have lunch.

Lumine is walking across a bridge to get to Wangshu Inn with her traveler buddy, Paimon.

'Uhh...Paimon super duper hungry! Let's get some food here! Gotta go fast!'rushed Paimon with a hungry noise from her stomach. 'Ehh heh... That was embarrassing...'Said Paimon in embarrassment. 

After a few minutes, Paimon and Lumine entered the Wangshu Inn and sat down. 

'Paimon is gonna order some food to fill her stomach.' said Paimon while floating to the counter.

'Ah...I would like this, that and that please! Oh and for dessert I would like this and that...'Paimon pointed other customers' tables' delicious food. She ordered quickly with eyes with bright stars in it. 

'Oh Paimon... Always with the appetite with everything.'smiled Lumine looking towards Paimon's direction.

After Paimon ordered a bunch of goodies, the food came. lumine and Paimon had a satisfying lunch.

'Ahh that was awesome! Huh? There's a plate of  almond tofu haven't served yet. Should we cancel it?' enjoyed Paimon with a burp.

'Almond tofu....it reminds me of Xiao...He loves it.'said Lumine softly and quietly. Even Lumine didn't realize, her eyes lingeringly with a trace of nostalgia.

Suddenly, Paimon looked at Lumine with a unexplainable face.

'What?'asked Lumine. She was quite confused of why Paimon looked at her like that.

'Uhh...Traveler, have you realize anything unusual about yourself?'Paimon didn't answer but started off with a simple question for Lumine.

'What? I'm not aware of anything? What is unusual?'asked Lumine even more cuirsiouly.

'Uhh...maybe Paimon's just being too sensitive on things. Forget about that...' Paimon avoided the topic with a poor explanation. 

'Is traveler not noticing herself mentioning about Xiao for at least 8 times on the way to this place? Why do I feel a bit concerned for her? I guess I'm just overthinking.' thought Paimon with a serious face which is not serious. 

'Ok? But you have to tell me some day.'said Lumine with a bright smile.

Paimon was still hesitating on the strange thing with traveler. She was still not sure but she did have a guess. She decided to do a simple test.

'How about we grab the plate of almond tofu and give it to Xiao! I'm sure he'll love it. Let's call him on the balcony! I bet he'll appear like last time with Xiangling.'suggested Paimon with excitement. She can't wait of the result of her little sneaky test. 

'Um...Would it disturb Xiao? He seems to be very busy. I'm not sure if we should do that.' Lumine raised doubts on Paimon's idea.

'Oh come on! It's an act of kindness. I'm sure he'll won't mind. On the opposite, he'll be surprised! His life seems boring. We could take this opportunity as a surprise! Yeah, a surprise!' seduced Paimon with a mysterious smile.

'I guess it's fine?'said Lumine. She finally got convinced by Paimon's rhetoric. 

'Yes!' thought Paimon. 'First step in the plan, success! Now for the next step, confirmation!'
