To Melt a Frozen Heart

Chapter 2: The Party is Interrupted

(As I am posting this, I am trying to catch up in Genshin Impact's story. I am on the second part in the Archon quest for Sumeru. I need to also watch the Razor's event. I can't wait! It is pretty good! Regardless, let's continue with the story. Enjoy!)

          "Traveler! Paimon! Sucrose!" Jean said surprised as she finally noticed them standing away from them, "What are you doing here? Did Klee meet with Albedo?"

"Yes! We delivered her to her big brother" Sucrose answered as she nodded her head to them.

"What are you doing here?" Rosaria asked seriously, "Here for the festival?"

"Yes. We wanted to help as best as we can" Paimon answered with a nod of her head.

"Well, I believe we already have everything we need for the festival" Kaeya reassured them with a grin, "The party in the headquarters is tomorrow. I am sure we will see you there along with our friends as well"

Aether nodded his head as Diluc shook his head in a frustrated manner. He stormed out of the room as Aether and Sucrose looked after him.

"Leave the firebird to himself. He's just steaming" Kaeya reassured them, "And you can help us with preparing for the party. Diluc will bring the food and drinks whenever he can. We will do the rest"

Aether and Sucrose nodded to him as they went to help decorate the headquarters for their party for the festival.

"Wahoo!" Klee exclaimed as she and Albedo were sitting outside of the café and being served sweets and tea.

Klee happily ate the cookies as Albedo took a sip from his tea.

"Did you have fun today, Klee?" Albedo asked warmly.

"Yeah! And we are going to have fun at the party too!" Klee announced warmly as she raised her hands in delight.

Albedo grinned at her and agreed warmly. Klee grinned as she continued to eat her cookies while Albedo carefully checked and gripped his hand on the teacup to cool it down using his cryno. He grinned and took a sip from it.

"Oh! And even Master Tone-Deaf-Bard is even here!" Klee announced happily.

"Really?" Albedo said surprised.

He didn't expect Venti to be here, but he also reasoned he would be here.

"Yeah! He wants to sing for us at the party tonight!" Klee said warmly.

"That'll be wonderful, Klee" Albedo agreed, "I am sure he will perform well for us"

"Do you think he will let me play on his instrument he keeps with him?" Klee asked curiously.

"I am not sure. You should ask him, but please don't pester him if does not wish to let you touch his lyre" Albedo informed her calmly.

"Ok!" Klee announced as she finished eating another cookie.

"Ah, the pair of siblings are reunited again!" Venti said warmly as he walked up to them.

The green bard approached them with a friendly gust of wind following him. He glanced to Albedo and Klee as he put up on a grin.

"Nice to see you again, Venti" Albedo greeted warmly.

"Hi Master Tone-Deaf-Bard!" Klee waved warmly as she grinned.

Albedo checked and smelled Venti a little and was surprised to not smell any alcohol on him.

"Relax, Albedo. I have not visited the tavern yet" Venti reassured him warmly, "I have just arrived and was making my way to the headquarters. I don't plan to drink until the party is completely over, and I am in a place that will not bring harm to others. Orders from Master Diluc himself!"
