"Barbatos, Morax," Chi called out to the two archons solemnly sipping tea in the living room of the manor. The Adeptus approached them with a serious expression, causing the calm tension in the room to pressurize.

Ju took a seat in front of the two, pouring herself a cup of warm tea before looking down at her lap. Suddenly, she stood and bowed down to her knees, her head kissing the floor, "Please forgive me for my hostility earlier in Northland Bank,"

Zhongli and Venti stood up abruptly, profusely telling her it was not too much of a deal for they understood where she was coming from, she hadn't needed to bow so low. It was at that point that they remembered that bowing to the highest degree of respect was common for the people of the Overworld. It was what the people did years ago during the begging of the Ritual of Revival.

"If anything Jueyun, we're the ones that owe you and Dian an apology," Venti sighed, the three now back sitting on the couch.

"Please, call me Ju, I don't like to be reminded of being a chili," Ju Huang frowned, taking a sip of her osmanthus tea, "Besides that, there's something I must tell you,"

(A/N: Osmanthus tea tastes really good, you guys should try it)

The two sat in silence, signaling her to continue. Venti's foot silently shook, nervous about what she was about to say next. Zhongli secretly rubbed his knee under the table to calm him down.

 "500 years ago, after the incident with Celestia, Mistress Dantalion lost her memories,"

Venti's brows frowned while Zhongli's heart dropped.

"She's slowly regaining them..." Chi continued, causing their eyes to light up, however, the moment of hope immediately diminished as soon as it came, "However, I fear what her reaction would be once she... remembers..."

There was an awkward pause. Venti hardened his grip on Zhongli's hand under the table, the Geo Archon's thumb making soothing circles on his hand in an effort to calm him down.

"Barbatos and I along with the rest will find a way to apologize, whether she forgives us or not will be our karma to bear, " Morax replied.

"I-I'm afraid it's not that simple," Chi gulped, "It's not like i want you guys fighting or anything either!" she exclaimed, her arms waving, "after what happened last time..." her breath thinned, her mind flashing to the crazed eyes Dian held when she stared at the rest of the Archons that day. Chi shook her head, removing the vision in her head, "I just decided to forgive you because I realized that even if I had gotten revenge, nothing would change, and understanding your position- I... I would've done the same..."
