As Rera and Ashe managed to make up, the two were on their way to the Roseweiss estate. On the way, Ashe explained that Rinea hadn't gotten any sleep before Rera sent them a letter. She was worried sick and feared that what happened to Epheria would happen to Rera.
"Speaking of which..." Ashe muttered, crossing his arms. "where did that man go?"
"Loki? Oh, he uh...disappears from time to time." Rera tried to explain.
"Disappears...?" He repeated, suspicious.
"It's like how the Adepti can create Pocket Dimensions or spaces for themselves." Rera referenced. "He isn't an Adeptus, but he can do something similar."
"Then what is he?"
"Uh...."
"How am I supposed to explain to this guy that you're a God?" Rera asked telepathically.
"Just tell him, he'll believe you eventually." Loki yawned, rolling his eyes.
"Well?"
"A...God..." Rera answered.
"..."
A little surprised by the word, Ashe didn't seem to believe her. He admits that the aura Loki gave was indeed ominous and dangerous, but he needs more evidence to believe that he is a God.
"...I'll need a little more evidence than that." He sighed, looking out the window.
The carriage rattled against the stone-paved road, shaking the ride slightly. People on the road have moved and carried on with their day. Many smiled and carried laughter in their voices, reminding Rera of how beautiful Mondstadt was.
As the ride to the estate continued, the wheel accidentally went over a small pothole, causing it to shake a little harder. Ashe was unfazed by the sudden shake, yet Rera accidentally hit the wall of the carriage. Her hat had nearly fallen off her head, but she adjusted it in time.
"...Why must you hide your horns?" Ashe spoke, curious.
"Oh, it's because I don't want to scare anyone while I'm here. Mondstadt doesn't have many beings like me who have odd features, so it would be better to hide it so I won't scare anyone."
"Odd...features? I think-"
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt. The driver had gotten down from their seat and opened the door for the two.
"You were saying?" Rera spoke.
"Nothing." Ashe sighed, getting off as he held out his hand to Rera. "Come on."
Taking his hand, Rera got off and looked at the large estate in front of her. It felt like ages since she last came here, but the house was still as large and beautiful as she remembered.
The two entered through the main doors, Rera looked up to the large stained glass window upon the double staircase. The rose in the center and the moon phases surrounding it...a very elegant and serene piece of art.
Hearing footsteps from the second floor, Rera watched as she saw a familiar figure come down from the stairs to the left. It was Rinea.
"Ah, welcome back darling!" She smiled, "I must say, you returned rather quickly-!"
Her sky-blue eyes fell upon Rera, widening with surprise, joy, and a hint of sadness. Nevertheless, she hurried down the steps and stood in the middle of the main hall, standing a few feet away from Rera.
Rinea's hands were clasped above her chest, slightly shaking. Ever since the call with Alice, Rinea was worried that Rera might be angry with her. Conflicted on how to respond to Rera's presence, Rinea stood there, hesitant to see how she would react.
