"Hmm... Who've we got here...?"

A voice calls out to you, that's when you turn around to see her. Wow, she was Beautiful. You looked at her for a while taking in her details. She had long brown hair and wore a gold hair piece. She had a red eye patch and a electro vision on her waist. an imposing fur-lined red shawl around her shoulders. Additionally, she wears a pair of fingerless, elbow-length black gloves. Her outfit, Rolling Waves, is described to be lightweight clothing saturated with a brave seafarer's spirit. Your face heated up as you looked at her before realizing your eyes were wandering and you immediately looked up at her face before she smiled. "Wait... I know you. Your that traveler, (Y/N), aren't you? The ones who fought against the Fatui and Osial, right?"

At this you nervously chuckle and nod. "H..Heh, I see my reputation proceeds me." She laughs and nods. "Haha, Ningguang told me about you. 'A traveler of great insight and remarkable skill has saved Liyue' She said."

At this you weren't exactly sure if you wanted to laugh at her absolutely horrid impression of Lady Ningguang, or feel flustered about the praise she just gave you. "She's a hard one to please," Beidou continued, "So praise from her is high praise indeed. I remember thinking at the time that It'd be good to meet you in person. Judging by the clothes on your back and this floating thing, I guess the time has come."

After she said that you were desperately holding back your laughter with your hand over your mouth as you looked over at Paimon who was practically fuming, you could have sworn you saw smoke come out of her ears. "Hey!" She yelled, "The names not 'floating thing' its Paimon!"

"Paimon... Hmm... What a fascinating being. You two give off not only the essence of the wind and earth but also... Yes... The stars..." 

Ah! You hadn't even noticed him. My goodness was he quiet. You stared at him taking in his details. It seems he wears a plating of armor on his left shoulder along with other traditional samurai dress, a haori jacket and hakama leggings. His clothing is interspersed with patterns of Japanese maple leaves with his anemo vision on his back. He has white hair and a red strand in it, as well as pretty red eyes. His hands also seem to be wrapped. 

You thought that was a nice compliment but Paimon seemed quite unimpressed. "Eh? The fragrance of what now? That's the weirdest compliment Paimon's ever heard!" At this you bonked her on the head to tell her to stop being rude. "Pay it no need..." The strange man starts again, "I mean only that I am certain... it is by fate, not by chance alone that we should meet... and that gives our encounter meaning." This man truly reminds you of Venti. 

"... And this must be your bard for hire?" You say in a smug tone, tilting your head slightly. "Uh, I prefer... other means of entertainment." Beidou replies. "This young man is Kaedehara Kazuha,
"
Beidou started. 'Oh, so that's his name.' "A temporary addition to my crew for reasons i wont bore you with. Occasionally, he opens his mouth and flowers come out instead of words."

Now you could not hold back your laughter. You broke into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, causing Beidou and Paimon to laugh to as Kazuha simply irks, staring at the three of you. As soon as you stop laughing you wipe a small tear from the side of your face, and the other two calm down as Kazuha speaks, "With this fine ship and the soft sea breeze... would it not be romantically irresponsible of me to not acknowledge it with a line or two of poetry?"

"Haha, I cant argue with that... Okay then, once the Clash is underway, Ill give you a chance to perform."

"Only if the mood takes me of course. Poetry for Poetry's sake tends to lack meaning."
