Song suggestion ~~ Spirit of the Slime - Nathan Hanover


You have never felt so disappointed. You missed Zhongli making Aether disappointed that he didn't get wine and instead got rice balls.

That and you missed the storytelling of Ningguang and her wall of infomation.

"Hey did I miss much?" You ask as you sit down on the spare chair. Zhongli sighs with a nod, taking a sip of the wine.

"You missed the story telling! It was such an interesting one as well." Paimon huffs while Zhongli nods in agreement with her.

"You're only saying that because it mentioned treasure." Aether teases Paimon who just makes noises in protest, unable to find the words.

"Although you have your own things to sort out, missing one of these stories is quite unfortunate." Zhongli says, disappointment shining through his usually 'emotionless' exterior. You just send him a shrug with a sleepy smile, you had heard the story a few times before from your different playthroughs of genshin so you knew it well enough for it to be fine.

"I apologise deeply, but I got lost." You laugh nervously as you sit down, immediately stealing one of the rice balls meant for Aether.

"At last, I have found you, you who returned from Jueyun Karst." At the voice Aether jumps out of his seat and looks to you, who was currently joking on the rice ball from the sudden voice, and Paimon.

"We gotta go!" He hisses quietly to you and Paimon, cautious of the part adeptus whose presence hadn't bothered you yet, if anything you were admiring her beauty through your sputters.

"Wait, I am not with the Millelith, nor am I here to claim your bounty!"

"You have a bounty!?" Your head snapped to Aether in surprise. You knew the milletlith were after him but he had a bounty on his head as well? That's something you hadn't picked up on in previous playthroughs.

"However, I am an emissary of the Liyue Qixing. My name is Ganyu, secretary at the Yuehai Pavilion, and I have come specifically to meet you." She introduces, moving from her position on the wall and jumping down onto the platform to approach the group.

"Emissary?" Aether questions with a raised eyebrow, still on guard but relaxing slightly when you give him a subtle nod that it was okay.

"Well, in concrete terms, I am the corporate secretary for the Qixing. At the moment, I am serving as Lady Ningguang's special emissary." Ganyu explains, hoping to lower Aethers guard a little more, her eyes flicking to you and Zhongli for a second before looking back at Aether and Paimon.

"Ningguang sent you? We were literally just talking about her..." Paimon frowns gently as if she wasn't aware of the "speak of the devil and they will arrive" rule.

"My apologies, you who have returned from Jueyun Karst... I am duty-bound, and cannot extend my courtesy to you in full." Ganyu bows her head gently before pulling out a letter. "But I have with me a letter from lady Ningguang. She extends a formal invitation to you in her capacity as Tianquan. She invites you to her palace in the sky."

"An official invitation?" Paimon asks hesitantly, as if her ears couldn't believe what she was hearing. After handing over the letter, Ganyu recites her instructions, noticing Aether is still on guard.

"Lady Ningguang said this," She clears her throat, "Invite them to come here. I wish to meet them. At the Jade Chamber, together, we shall snip every one of these entwining dark threads." She finishes explaining before bowing her head and moving back over the wall she came from.
