Xiaolumi S5: Clair De Lune

Family More Precious Then Gold

A/N: Xiaolumi meet and assist a Fontaine musician wanting to find his ancestor's savior but also to throw a music finale for the festival; Bakari and Nalini are showered with adoration and love by their fellow adepti family. 

PS I wigged out when I saw and heard the Fontaine Conductor was Marco, a former opera singer turned voice actor. He's got a youtube channel I highly suggest checking him out.

Meeting Ping again had been a joy and likewise she had welcomed them with open arms. Luminne was surprised that Xiangling's teacher was little Yaoyao's martial arts teacher. Ping was more than delighted to welcome Lumine back to Liyue as they chatted a bit, even the topic of Bakari and Nalini coming up due to Yao Yao which brought a light of joy to the old koi fish adeptus's face.

Which brought them to this current situation as they were waiting for Ganyu to come back with her and the Qixing's answer for Dvorak. Bidding Yaoyao goodbye for now. They didn't have long to wait though as Ganyu came back with Keqing. The Qixing had agreed to Ganyu's proposal and Dovark's request. The Fontaine conductor was delighted however he was not prepared for Ganyu's inquiry after hearing his family's tale.

"Thanks Mr.Dvorak. It's just I had a few initial thoughts when I heard your story. For instance, I wonder if in fact the mystery woman your ancestor met was actually an adeptus."Ganyu then turned her gaze over to Lumine. "What do you think, Lumine?"

"It's definitely possible, but we don't have enough information to be sure."mused Lumine with a hum.

"To tell you the truth Mr.Dvorak I'm somewhat related to the adepti, myself and so is Lumine via marriage. I am part human and part qilin; The qilin are an illuminated beast and am much older than I appear."confessed Ganyu. "I know how important your quest to get in touch with your family's roots is to you as I've been there once myself...Trying discover where I belong."

"Mhm. And my husband, Xiao is a vermillion bird yaksha adeptus. My children are also part yaksha."nodded in agreement. The shock on Dvorak's face as his jaw practically fell to the floor was quite the sight.

"Did you say the adepti!? That you Miss Ganyu are an illuminated beast—part qilin!? And you Mrs Lumine, your husband and children are yakshas!?"gaped Dvorak as the girls nodded. "Are you telling me that al lthe rumors of the Liyue adepti are real? They aren't just creative licensees?"

"Oh they are very real. You could be walking past one or sitting next one and not even realize unless they choose to reveal themselves. They all are capable of taking human form, many have come to settle and live among Liyue's humanity even starting families or becoming teachers or beloved coworkers. While others stick to the mountains for peaceful seclusion in their true forms."smiled Lumine fondly.

"Yep you bet they are real! Trying to track them down is very difficult though, like Jueyan karst itself. There's nothing stopping you from going but getting in and out is quite the ordeal. However Lumine is able to go in and out as she pleases as she holds their favor and is married to one. Ganyu can go in and out of there because she was raised there."confirmed Paimon.

"Yes. Anyways, if you're looking to find a lost melody or cultural aspect of Liyue's history I'm probably not the person to ask. But if it is a person you are looking for I can help you out there."assured Ganyu.

"I see now...I think I understand the situation now, Ganyu and Lumine."noted Keqing thoughtfully. "Ganyu, why don't you and I divide the workload between us?"

"Yes, that was also my thought. Great minds think alike."agreed Ganyu.

"Great, so myself and Mr.Dvorak will focus on the concert to make sure everything goes according to plan. Meanwhile you can go with Lumine and Paimon to investigate through Ganyu's network to try and find who the mystery person is that he is looking for. Sounds good?"Keqing stated bluntly.
