"Aetherrrrrrrr! I finally found you!"

Y/n skidded to a stop in the blond's path, her eyes bright with excitement.

"There you are!" Paimon gasped then placed her hands on her hips, "Where do you keep running off to, huh?"

"I was cuddling with Mitachurls." y/n replied simply then pointed at the duo, "I have decided that from now on, I will be your loyal Mitachurl friend who protects you from harm during your travels!"

"Wow, that's nice. Would've been nicer had you decided earlier before we had to fight that ruin hunter." Aether murmured and received a scorching glare from the h/c haired girl.

"Watch it, blondie." she told him, walking on over and picking him up, tossing him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes, "Alright, back to the Inn?"

"Yep!" Paimon chirped as Aether just completely gave up, allowing y/n to carry him as the little pixie settled for a spot atop the girl's head.

"Just know that I will protect you two no matter what! If I have to, I will die for you!" y/n exclaimed as she ran.

"Please don't. I'd prefer it if you didn't die." Aether told her and the girl bristled.

"Eh??? Are you telling me what to do?"

"I said please!"

~~~ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ•°*

While y/n curled up on the ground, gasping for air after attempting and failing several times to run on water on their way back to the Inn, Aether chatted with the cook.

"Did you get rid of the ghost?" the cook asked as Paimon experimentally poked y/n with a banana she'd found in the kitchen only for the girl to grab it and eat it.

"Yep, it's taken care of. So can you make the almond tofu now?" Aether asked and y/n perked up.

"Oh! You needed almond tofu? I know how to make almond tofu!" y/n chirped.

Aether died inside, "ʷʰᵃᵗ..."

The e/c eyed girl smiled, "Mhm! Mister Crepus taught me how so I wouldn't go hungry while I wandered around! If you needed to make some, you could have just asked me, you know?"

"Wait, really? So Paimon and Aether had to fight the Ruin Hunter for nothing!?" Paimon demanded, "Y/n, Paimon loves you but, seriously?"

Y/n blinked curiously as Aether placed a bowl over his head and screamed at the top of his lungs.

'Is he possessed?' the cook wondered.

'Wow... I did not know Aether could scream that loud. I am impressed.' y/n thought to herself then her eyes lit up, 'Is this a screaming competition now?'

"Uh, do you still want the Almond Tofu?" the cook asked as Aether continued screaming.

"Three please." Paimon said with a smile as y/n started screaming along with Aether.

It was a while until the Almond Tofu was finished. Paimon and Y/n enjoyed theirs while Aether delivered the third plate.

Y/n blinked when Aether returned and jumped to her feet, "Aether! This is the best Almond Tofu I have ever had! Taste! Taste!"

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT-" Aether didn't stand a chance as y/n proceeded to stuff some of the food in his mouth.

"It is awesome, is it not?" she chirped.

Aether was about to make a snarky comment about how food tasted better when it wasn't force fed to people but stopped himself when he saw the excited look on y/n's face.

"Yeah, it's good." he replied and y/n punched the air with a happy grin.

"Mosi mita!" she exclaimed then grabbed Aether's hand, "Come! We must go now! Where to next?"

"Back to Liyue." Aether told the girl then frowned, "Will you be alright? Your reaction to being in such a crowded place was a little... concerning."

"I will be fine! Food makes me feel a little better." y/n replied simply, "It's been a while since my last trip to Liyue but I'm okay. Let's go now!"

"Hey! Wait for Paimon!" the pixie protested, floating on after the duo as y/n began dragging Aether to the stairs rather than the elevator.

~~~ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ•°*

Y/n remained at the bottom of the stairs, refusing to go anywhere near the bank on the upper level.

"Come onnnn, y/n! You said you'd stop running off!" Paimon complained.

"I am not running off-" y/n paused to shudder, "I am keeping watch. That is all."

Aether hummed, "Is there some reason you don't want to come with us?"

Y/n averted her eyes, remaining silent.

"Oh! Paimon knows! When we first talked to Childe, y/n knocked herself out a couple of minutes before he asked about her!" Paimon gasped and y/n glared at the pixie.

"Wait? Really? How?" Aether questioned.

Paimon gave him a confused look, "You didn't see her karate chop herself on the back of her neck? She moved pretty fast but still, I thought you would've seen or at least felt it."

"S-S-Shut up!" y/n snapped.

"You know Childe, don't you?"

"Nye, I do not!

Aether and Paimon gave the girl disappointed looks and she groaned.

"Okay, fine, maybe I do." she mumbled.

Aether walked on down the stairs and took y/n's hand in his, "Come on. It'll be fine. I'll hold your hand."

Y/n huffed, "Fine. Only because I have to protect you. I am not coming because you promised to hold my hand or anything!"

Both Paimon and Aether laughed at the girl's words as the trio made their way up the stairs.

Y/n cried internally the entire time.
