Son Wu strode side by side with Aether and Paimon on the dirt path to Liyue, entering the flat wetland of the Dihua Marsh. They approached a large statue that resembled a chess piece, on top of which sat a statue of one of the current seven gods on a stone throne. A Statue of the Seven. While all of the Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt showed the visage of Venti's feminine, winged form clutching a ball (Wait, did that depict Venti holding the dragon ball...?), they were now met with a well-built, hooded male. There were no questions about this one's gender. This one kneeled on a throne made of rectangular prisms, clutching and peering at a cube (No, that can't be it. If so, Liyue's dragon ball is a dragon cube.).
"This one looks strong..." Wu thought. A part of Wu's tail burned with caution. If this one was less welcoming than Venti, would he have a repeat of his fight against Vegeta? Not to mention the risk of another Harbinger going after the Geo Gnosis. He had to get a grasp on Super Saiyan. Fast.
Wu paused as Aether approached the statue, placing his hand against it.
"What are you...?" Wu's eyes widened as the statue glowed brilliantly, before slowly dying down. By the end of it, the shiny turquoise glowing in the gaps of Aether's outfit now glowed a solid, earthy gold.
"Did... Did you just feel the power of Geo?" Paimon asked. "Your connection to the elements is so different from the Vision bearers! Seems like you can physically switch between elements..." Paimon said. "If so, then you need to make an offering to a Statue of The Seven and the elements will respond... just like they did in Mondstadt!" Paimon exclaimed.
"Wait... you're telling me you got all that power just from touching these statues?" Wu asked.
"Uh... Yeah." Aether said.
...
"Unbelievable." Wu said, crossing his arms.
"Hey... It still takes a lot to master it!" Aether argued.
"Sure..." Wu smirked.
"You're such a jerk! What about you? I bet you were born able to fly and shoot energy balls!" Paimon yelled.
"That's... That's not the same! Sure, I'm part Saiyan, but I'm the product of two decades of training!" Wu spat.
"...Wait, how old are you!?" Paimon exclaimed.
...
"I'm 23." Wu said.
"And you're still an unwashed hobo?" Paimon taunted.
"You little munchkin...!" Wu hissed, stomping towards Paimon, who only shrieked and hid behind Aether.
----------
Wu crossed his arms, walking with a little more attitude in his step and placing a little bit of distance between him and the other two. Paimon glared at Wu, always keeping Aether between her and him.
"Paimon, you should apologize." Aether said under is breath.
"Huh? Wu started it!" Paimon said.
"Be the bigger person. Besides, you said something very insensitive as well." Aether said.
"What do you... Oh..." Paimon said, realizing her error.
Wu didn't shift his cadence as Paimon slowly floated over to him.
"Wu... Paimon would like to apologize..." Paimon said.
...
"While you're annoying... and brutish... and smelly... and gluttonous... Paimon forgot that you were taken away from your home world, making you the actual definition of homeless and unwashed..." Paimon said.
