(a/n: i put m/o because mualani's stories are canon in game and the whole thing in here is modern au so... anyways, picture above was taken in vietnam:D)

lumine lied down on her bed, bored and not knowing what to do, she texted her brother, who was in a nearby grocery store.

"i'm bored aajaknqjqibjq"
"wanna go on a trip around teyvat? is your card still there?"
"what card????"
"the uhhh teyvat public transport card"
"oki doki"

lumine turned off her phone, digging through her wallet and get out the card. lumine and her brother got the archon specialty card, which is granted when you saved a crisis from all nations, it's a legendary type of card, and you need to send in applications for the archons themselves to approve. well, what benefit could you get from it? every transportation is free, with the fastest mode of transportation, anemo-fused trains. for the regular card, anemo-fused trains can take a hefty 5000 mora per stop. while regular trains cost 300 mora per stop. 

she got ready, wearing something rather more comfy than a show-off. she wore a white sweater with yellow and blue diamond patterns, her blouse underneath and black skirt. she packed her essentials stuff and waited for aether to come home.

...

they took a walk to the sea of flowers train station, lumine observed her brother's clothes and surprised at how he didn't choose to wear another hoodie like other times. instead, he was wearing a shirt and tucked them in with another sweater, matching lumine's sweater.

"good morning customers, the next service to inazuma via the teyvat loop will be in 1 minute, thank you."

lumine and aether walked to the anemo-fused train. even a bit confused because they need to travel through sea to reach inazuma, both of them still silently prayed that they won't drowned.

"this is a service to inazuma, stopping all stations except romaritime harbor via the teyvat loop."
"now arriving at (some khaenri'ah place in the future)."


"...now arriving at people of the spring."

their main objective here was to enjoy the hot springs. mualani, wearing her usual blue and white top, a colorful pattern skirt and a cheery smile as always, welcomed the twins. she hold both of their hand and ran to the hot springs, already picking out clothes for them. lumine was a bit shocked because of how well the clothes fitted her, coming out of the changing room. she had the same swimwear as mualani, a bikini top and mini skirt with shorts below. aether came out earlier, with a simple swimming shorts. mualani beamed and was really proud of herself for picking the most fitting clothes.

mualani slowly entered the artificial hot springs, pulling the twins down. it was warm and relaxing. mualani talked to them about her childhood with hot springs, she was swimming in the hot springs one day and her parents thought she was a natural swimmer! with some other silly stories and sharing practices about hot springs. the snacks, how to enjoy it and more. lumine in exchanged told her about their stories as children, how aether was always the careful and outgoing one, how she was the more quiet and clumsy twin. laughters can be heard from their area. auntie atea bringing out herbal tea and fire fudge, which are just fudge that have the same colors as flames, red, orange and yellow. they tasted... sweet and spicy. the herbal tea was calming and simple yet so good. 

...

"bye lumine! bye aether! visit natlan again soon!"
"we will!"

mualani waved goodbye as lumine and aether waved back on the train.

"this is a service to liyue, stopping all stations via the teyvat loop."

"...now arriving at sea of flowers."

they walked out of the train, wind breezed to them as the train continued. the twins talked about mualani, complimenting her and appreciating how nice she was.

"we should do it again sometimes, at children of echoes with kachina."
