Venti teleported a sleeping Paimon to the place where she (Paimon) and the traveler were staying, which was perfect timing since the traveler woke up sweating from her dream

'What the f*ck was that?'

She stood up doing a thinking pose

'I dreamed and it turns out it was a dream, and the so-called reality that I saw was also a dream, then...'

She furrowed her eyebrows 'What was that? Venti saying that his name wasn't Venti and saying that his name was...was... What was the name that he told me? And why does it feel like I'm missing something' she sat down on the floor and looked at the ceiling 'It's as if someone doesn't want me to remember... but at the same also wants me to remember'

She turned her head to the side '...Maybe I'm just overthinking it'

"Traveler, are you okay?" Paimon asked, worried for her companion

Lumine with eyebags under her eyes looked at Paimon with a deadpan look "Do I look like I am?" Paimon sheepish laugh, Lumine sighed before slightly smiling, even though Paimon is annoying she always stays by her side

"So... What's the reason why we are out so early in the morning?"

"Looking for Au- I mean Venti! Yes I meant Venti!" Paimon hurriedly fixed her mistake of calling Venti 'Auntie' since no one really knows their connection

Lumine raised an eyebrow at Paimon, but didn't question it

They silently walked together, Paimon keeps turning her left and right to see if she can spot Venti, Lumine just keeps thinking about the dream she had

"Look! There's Venti!" Paimon pointed at her right, Lumine turned towards the direction, Venti was talking to a hooded person, who seemed to have blonde hair...

Blonde...

... It can't be her so-called 'missing' twin, right?

If it is him then why didn't Venti tell her that he knew him? How does he know him? And Does he not care that she just wants to see him again?

No... Don't come to conclusions when there is no evidence

"Venti!" Paimon called out which caught Venti's attention immediately, she smiled at Paimon before turning her head to the hooded figure who nodded before turning around and walked away

Venti looked at them and walked towards them, when she was in front of them Paimon immediately hugged her, which to the surprise to Lumine, but Venti just smiled patting Paimon's head

"Do you need anything, Paimon?" Venti asked in a kind tone, that makes the traveler think if they are possessed

"Well Paimon was wo-" Her sentence was cut off by lightning striking, Lumine had a fighting position, Paimon cling to Venti more, the mondstadt people who were up looked to where that sound came from, an expression on their face that look like their expecting something that they were used to, much to the Traveler and Paimon's confusion, and Venti had a deadpan look on her face

'Another one on my 'The dramatic entrance of the archons (-Zhongli/Morax)' list, yayyyyyyy... *Sigh* what's next? A burning fire ball and them coming out of it in a motorcycle?... Why do I feel like I jinxed myself?'

"Bar-" Ei shut up when Venti glared at her, after all you don't want to make someone who has a position much higher that you angry/annoyed, now would you?

"Venti!" Nahida said, smiling and waving her hand at Venti

Venti waved back, the archons came closer to them not realizing the Traveler and Paimon was there
