"This is our fate, brother..."
Lucius's journey in Teyvat continues after solving the Fontaine crisis. With only two more nations left to visit, the secrets of the world continue to reveal itself, leaving a lasting impression on him. Along with that...
With the Pilgrimage coming to a close, Kachina joins her fellow victors in entering the Night Warden Wars. Meanwhile, Mualani volunteers to be Lucius and Paimon's tour guide as she brings them over to the People of the Springs.
Paimon: We're finally here! So, this is your home, Mualani! Paimon can't wait to have a look around!
Mualani just smiles as they walk past a group of people enjoying themselves at the hot spring.
Moeava: Ahh... See, what did I tell you? A dip in the hot springs after a battle is just the best!
Taheta: Fetch me a bottle of wine, would you, dear?
Makemo: Just one? Let's get another, it's still early in the day, isn't it?
Taenga: Wanna go to Golden Dusk later?
Mersa: Now this is a vacation... Absolutely amazing!
Lucius: So lively...
Mualani: We try to treat every day like a holiday around here. We believe every day is worth celebrating. Now, let me show you around. Hmm... where to start... Xochicuicatl Records, Colomche Plaza... There are so many options, but I recommend starting with the real highlight around here.
Lucius: The real highlight?
Mualani: The hot springs, of course! Natural hot springs have tons of health benefits. Go for a nice, long soak, and you're guaranteed a good night's sleep!
Lucius: Eh?
Mualani: Oh, don't be shy. C'mon, I'll take you to get changed—
She grabs Lucius by the arm and was about to drag him, but a voice calls out, stopping her.
???: Mualani!
Mualani: Huh? Oh... Auntie Atea!

Atea: Please, I've told you just "Atea" is fine. Do I look that old to you? Were you taking these two to the hot springs?
Mualani: That's right. Oh, let me introduce you. This is Lucius, and the small one next to him is Paimon. They only just arrived in Natlan, so I'm taking them around to experience our customs!
Lucius: Hello.
Paimon: Hi!
Atea: Hi there! I'm Mualani's neighbor, Atea. By the way, Mualani, I heard you lost to Kachina during the Pilgrimage. Is that true?
Mualani: Yeah, I was THIS close to winning. (sigh)... Definitely not the result I wanted, but, still, not too surprising. Kachina's always been strong. Anyway, it's all in the past. I'm gonna take these two for a dip in the hot springs. Talk to you later!
