"Hello, Miss Barbara, my name is Noelle. I shall be escorting you to Spring Vale."
Noelle bowed beneath Barbara.
She focused on the pebbles of the ground waiting for the order to rise.

Barbara titled her head seeing as Noelle still leaned on her knee on the ground.

"You may get up."

Noelle rose revealing the intercut designs of her what looked like a normal maid dress. No rips nether tears. She was incredibly put together for a traveling warrior. Noelle held up the gold standard for a maid.

Barbara thought back to times when Aether and his team would come back to the city. Clothes shredded, hair tussled, bodies covered in dirt. However, they would march into the city as if it was all part of the plan. Smiling and all.
They'd throw down at Dilucs's bar, where Venti and Barbara would sing. Glasses where broken, bets made, and chairs utterly blasted into oblivion. Eventually when the team was kicked out the party go straight to the Cat's Tail. The same throw downs would happen.
You could hear Aether's team sing drunken ballads near the edge of dawn. Before finding all of them flat out drunk in the town fountain. Except Noelle.
Who would knit as her team mocked the local pigeons.
Even as reckless as the team where, Mondstadt hailed them as heroes.
What she would do for that kind of love.

Noelle grinned,
"May I carry your bags Miss?"

Barbara nodded handing her cute white purses over. They held mainly her tightly packed petticoats, and hair spray.
It took more then people thought to keep her shine.
Barbara noticed she forgot to put one thing in her purse.

"Noelle can you bring that here for a second?"
She asked.

The maid nodded hopping back over offering her one of the purses. Barbara unzipped it humming to herself,
"Gosh, I'm not really made for adventure."

"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."
Noelle reassured smiling.

"Hah I don't know, do you have any funny stories about new adventurers?"

Noelle nodded zipping up Barbara's purse for her.
"Yes indeed, I'll tell you on our hike."

"Ah yes!"
Barbara chuckled beginning to walk the way they where told. Noelle hurriedly caught up carrying her luggage.

"Well I have this one story.
Beware it's from my earlier days when I had just joined the team. So I'm not the same person I am now.
It was everyone's first time battling a golem. Kaeya had worn down all his attacks while Aether was trying to heal him. The attack left Ningguang and I shaken. Hit after hit we didn't think we could survive. Aether was banging on the wall for an exit as I stood face to face with the golem. Then it took a swing at me."

"What happened after that!"
Barbara yelped.

"I caught the blade with mine.
In its reflection I could see myself. I was unbelievably sweaty my clothes had been torn to shreds. That's when I realized the golem had been going for our corsets and upper armor.
Seeing this I screamed and took a swing! I cannot even describe the rage I was feeling. I just knew it had to end there."

"So you defeated that golem all by yourself!"
Barbara squeaked.

"Oh well a bit, Ningguang had to come in clutch a few times."
Noelle giggled.
"I also made promise to my self, I'd keep myself clean through battle after that."

Barbara laughed,
"Well you are doing a wonderful job."

"Thank you Miss Barbara."

"Oh please just call me Barbara."
