     A week passes with the same schedule, Y/n and Albedo complete their own work during the day, but they then meet up in the evening. They subconsciously continue looking for each other in the evenings, excited for the conversation that they will have when they see each other.

This morning, however, is different. Y/n wakes up as the sun rises and excitedly gets out of her bed. Today is her delivery day. Today is the day that she goes into the city early to distribute the medicines and herbs that she had collected and created over the past week. She hastily pulls on her usual work clothes and collects her supplies, rushing out of her room.

"I'm heading into Mondstadt I'll be gone most of the day bye I love you I'll be careful!" She rattles off to Diluc as she passes him on the stairs.

"O-okay..." He responds, What's up with her? He wonders.

Y/n rushes out of the house and towards Mond city. As she passes through the woods by Springvale, she hears someone call out her name. Startled, she whips around.

"Jotun!" She let out a breath, "You scared the life out of me." He comes to a stop beside her, slightly out of breath.

"I'm sorry- I didn't mean to." Walking beside her, he slowed to catch his breath. "Where are you off to today? I feel like you haven't come to Springvale for a while. Not that I care, but you know."

"Jotun, I only come by once a week for the mushrooms. I just haven't come by for this week yet." She reassures him as she begins to walk faster.

"Oh really? I could have sworn you came more than that." She shakes her head. "Umm. So, what have you been up to?" He asks, not wanting the conversation to end. Y/n shakes her head,

"A lot, Jotun. I've been very busy."

"With what?"

"You know, the usual. What about you, whave you been up to?" She tries to steer the conversation.

"Hunting. You know, the usual." Jotun stops to catch his breath. "Geez, where are you sprinting to this early?" 

"Mondstadt. Look, I'm sorry but I have a lot of deliveries to get done today so I can't really stick around and chat." Jotun looks crestfallen.

"O-oh, um, I'm sorry." He says, dejected. Y/n sighs.

"You can walk with me to the gate and we can talk, but I need to keep moving."

"Oh, really? Great!" He jogs to catch up. "Soooo. Have you met anyone new recently?"

"Met anyone new?" She turns to him. "No, why would you ask that?"

"No reason, just wondering. So... no new boys?" 

She raises an eyebrow. "Alright, what's this about? Why are you asking me if I've met any new boys recently. You sound like my brothers." Jotun exhales dramatically.

"Well... It's just that..."

"Spit it out Jotun, please." She turns away and continues to walk towards Mond.

"Okay, I saw you the other day."

"Saw me where?"

"Just outside Mondstadt, with some man." She rolls her eyes and turns to him,

"And...?"

"What do you mean, and?"

"I mean, and? What's the problem?"

"You didn't tell me."

"Jotun," She takes him by the shoulders, "Why does it matter if you saw me outside of Mondstadt with another man? We're not together." She gestures to both of them.
