AHHH, I've been playing Honkai Star Rail this past month and I just want to say...I want to make a reaction for it ahahahaha! I probably won't right now, though, considering I'm writing two stories at the same time and the fact that it just came out so I don't know much about it yet. Still... :)

"Hey, where's Lynn?" Amber asked the moment she and the others entered the room after preparing their surprise party for the traveler who was still asleep on her seat.

"Wasn't she with us?" Dehya asked.

"She wasn't," Xingqiu said. "or at least I didn't notice. How about the others?"

"Nope,"

"Not really,"

"Was too focused,"

"Don't care,"

Similar answers were given by everyone who either went to prepare the surprise party or stayed in the room to do whatever they want. 

"Hey guys," Heizou suddenly called out, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "I found this note beside the Traveler."

"What does it say?" Diluc asked with a raised brow.

"Um," Heizou let out a small laugh filled with incredulousness. "what would you guys do if she just told us to sit down and watch without her for a moment?"

"Just do it?" Thoma replied although it sounded more as a question. "Why?"

"Well, although that's the only thing written here, I can't help but feel nervous...like we're going to see something we don't want to see," Heizou answered. The others glanced at each other with slight hesitance. Although not many were familiar with the man, they knew his profession as a detective due to the previous introduction and knew, or assumed, that he had good instincts. Thus, for him to say something like that...

"Well, we don't really have much of a choice," Hu Tao said, already heading to her seat. "let's just watch."

Knowing that it was the truth, everyone agreed and sat down on their respective seats as some hopes it wouldn't be too deep. 

"Let's not wake Lumine and Paimon up," Venti said as the screen started to flash. "I'm sure they don't need to watch this bit."

Many nodded in agreement as the screen showed.

This idea was given by leonardo3465, thank you! I tried my best but I'm really not that good in writing angst...or anything besides reaction in general so please don't get your hopes up :(

The screen opened up to show Lumine and Paimon sitting on a bench inside Lumine's teapot while enjoying the beautiful view in front of them. 

"How beautiful, is that the inside of her teapot?" Yanfei wondered with bright eyes.

"Tea...teapot?" Nahida looked confused for a moment before realizing what she meant. "Oh, you mean the adeptus abode!"

"Indeed," Zhongli nodded. "I'm glad that the Traveler enjoys it."

The inside of Lumine's teapot was simple as she simply decorated the place with the things she enjoyed from the nations she's visited. There were Mondstadt's windmills softly spinning on top of a mountain, Liyue's lanterns scattered all throughout a certain spot on the floor, and Inazuma's sakura trees that slightly covered the sun.  

"I know the teapot is made with adeptus powers but how did such items appear in it? I doubt the Traveler herself or her little companion chopped down trees or stole a large windmill undetected." someone from Fontaine asked in disbelief.
