The beginning
Lumine thought finding her brother was goal from the very start however the sudden meeting of the Balladeer made her freeze in her steps.
Their first meeting when he pretended to be kind, to when his facade broke, ready to attack to her.
She knew this feeling well. She had fallen utterly in love with this Fatui Harbinger at first sight and refused to admit it. After all they were enemies.

The Flowers
Lumine slowly walked over the Mondstadt bridge. It has been a few months since she last seen Scaramouche and she often wondered where he had gone. Paimon was talking to her about Sticky honey roasts that she couldn’t wait to have when Lumines eyes slightly widened at the sight of a short figure with indigo hair and a large hat walking past in the direction of Floral Whisper, the flower shop.
Lumine turned to Paimon and whispered, “You can go ahead and order some Sticky honey roasts at the Good Hunter. I must do something quick.”
Her traveling companion held a hesitating expression before nodding and floats in the direction of the Good Hunter.
The traveller quickly stands next to Quinn and Beatrice to see that it was indeed Scaramouche standing there talking to Flora.
In the Fatui Harbinger’s hand was a bouquet of Cecilias.
She wondered for who the flowers were for and deep down hoped they were for her. Suddenly she noticed the Fatui Harbinger had started walking away from the flower shop and continued walking towards the fountain.
The traveller followed closely behind and ignored Paimon’s call to her.
The Fatui Harbinger had turned a corner where it was isolated from the public eye. The moment Lumine entered the same alleyway, the Fatui Harbinger held a sharp knife to her throat.
“Why were you following me, traveller?”
Lumine stared into his bright indigo eyes feeling herself feel flustered before finding her voice and spoke, “I don’t trust you. The last time we met you tried to kill me and my friends.”
Scaramouche scoffed before moving away from Lumine and put away his knife. He had picked up his bouquet of Cecilias and gave the traveller a glare.
“In case you didn’t know, the Fatui and Mondstadt have an agreement now. I was simply minding my own business as should you.”
The traveller wanted to say something else, but the Fatui Harbinger had already walked off seemly in a hurry.
After reuniting with her emergency food, the two decided to head to the Knights of Favonius building to talk to Jean when they noticed Scaramouche standing outside the Goth Grand Hotel. He seemed to be ordering a lower rank Fatui subordinate and shoved the bouquet of Cecilia’s at him before the subordinate hastily walked off probably delivering the flowers to someone.
Lumine felt sad that she wasn’t the receiver of the flowers or that Scaramouche would have personally given them to her.

Dragonspine
A month later Lumine was knocking on Mona’s door. Mona had sent in a commission of needing someone to traveller with her to the mountaintop of Dragonspine. After a few knocks Mona opened the door and smiled once she saw the traveller.
