Lumine, Kaeya, Jean, and Diluc sat around a table at the Angel's Share, their laughter filling the air. It had been a long time since they had all been together, and it was clear that they were enjoying each other's company.

After a while, Lumine's laughter faded, replaced by a look of concern. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice filled with guilt. "I've been so focused on finding my brother that I haven't been paying attention to you all."

Kaeya smiled. "Don't worry about it, Lumine," he said. "We understand. We're just happy to see you."

Jean nodded. "And we're here to help," she added. "Whatever you need, we're here for you."

Diluc raised his glass. "To Lumine," he said. "May you find your brother soon."

The others raised their glasses and clinked them together. "To Lumine," they said in unison.

After a few more moments of conversation, Lumine turned to Kaeya. "So, do you have any information about the Abyss Order?" she asked.

Kaeya nodded. "A little," he replied. "We've been keeping an eye on their activities in the region."

Lumine's eyes lit up. "What have you found out?" she asked eagerly.

Kaeya hesitated for a moment, his expression growing serious. "We believe that the Abyss Order is planning something big," he said. "Something that could threaten all of Teyvat."

Lumine's heart pounded in her chest. "What kind of plan?" she asked.

Kaeya shook his head. "We're not sure yet," he replied. "But we're doing everything we can to find out."

Lumine nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "We need to stop them," she said. "Before it's too late."

Diluc agreed. "We have to protect Teyvat," he said. "For the sake of all living things."

As they continued to discuss the Abyss Order, Lumine couldn't help but feel a sense of hope. She knew that she had a lot of work ahead of her, but she also knew that she was not alone. She had friends, allies, people who would fight alongside her.

And with their help, she believed that she could save her brother, and protect Teyvat from the Abyss Order's evil plans.

Kaeya glanced at Childe, who was leaning against the wall in the corner, his expression a mix of boredom and amusement.

"Who is that guy you brought with you?" Jean asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Lumine smiled. "That's Childe," she replied.

"He looks familiar," Kaeya said, his eyes narrowing. "He's not Fatui, is he?"

Lumine hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Unfortunately yes, he is," she admitted. "But I've worked with him before. I had no choice but to ask for his assistance. I was willing to give him a second chance."

Paimon snorted. "I still don't trust him," she said. "He's a Harbinger, for goodness sake."

Childe chuckled. "Relax, Paimon," he said. "I'm here to help. And I'm not going to betray you."

Kaeya raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?" he asked. "Why should we believe you?"

Childe shrugged. "Because I'm a nice guy," he replied. "And also because I'm curious to see how this all plays out."

Kaeya and Jean exchanged a knowing glance. They were both skeptical of Childe, but they also knew that Lumine had her reasons for trusting him.

"Well, whatever the case," Kaeya said. "We're going to need all the help we can get."
