[Edited Again]

(If y/n was an actual character, I feel like she would have a talent that would allow her to take damage for others in the party. Whether you're playing alone or in co-op mode.)

(Like, if the character you're using takes a hit, y/n will automatically lose health rather than the character you're using. It only works when your character takes a large amount of damage. Fall damage included.)

(Just to add in some of y/n's stubbornness, she can only be healed when around Statues of the Seven or by being fed. Healers can't bring her health back up since she's the type to refuse help.)

↢Y/n's POV↣

"ISH SHO GUUD, I COULD CWY!" y/n sobbed as she was eating, actual tears of joy flowing from her e/c eyes.

Aether and Paimon gave the sobbing h/c haired girl worried looks while Zhongli simply shook his head with a fond smile.

There had been someone telling a story but y/n and paid no mind, enjoying the food she had in front of her.

Half of it wasn't even hers.

She'd finished hers within the first three minutes and had sat there for two minutes looking upset about it.

Of course, both Zhongli and Aether offered their food to the girl and recieved one of her luminous smiles in return along with an excited, "Tomo!"

"Tianquan Ningguang... feels like we're hearing this name a lot." Paimon murmured, "Liyue locals talk about her, the Fatui hate her, she's most likely the one who hid the Exuvia, and we saw her at the Rite of Descension..."

Y/n briefly looked up, "The white haired one who looks like her nose ran away?"

"Yes, the white haired one who's nose ran away." Paimon said with a nod, "Paimon wonders what sort of person she is."

"She looks like she smokes." y/n stayed then turned to Aether, "I bet she smokes. You owe me grape juice if I'm right."

"And you owe me a full day of nothing but affection if you aren't." Aether replied with a smirk.

Y/n blinked, a little surprised then grinned, "Getting cocky now are we, Paper?"

"Here we go again." Paimon sighed as Aether mumbled, "I'm not even..."

"At last, I have found you, who has returned from Jueyun Karst." a new voice chimed in.

"Who's there?" Paimon demanded while y/n simply tilted her head.

"Paimon, we gotta go...!" Aether began upon spotting the newcomer standing on one of the rooves.

Y/n gasped, "A Cocogoat!"

This individual, a pretty woman, had horns.

Y/n immediately thought of a goat.

'I've gotta tell Qiqi-!'

"Wait, I am not with the Millelith, nor am I here to claim your bounty!" the woman protested, "However, I am an emissary of the Liyue Qixing. My name is Ganyu, secretary at the Yuehai Pavilion, and I have come specifically to meet you."

"Emissary?" Aether inquired.

"Secretary?" y/n murmured.

"Well, in concrete terms, I am the corporate secretary for the Qixing. At the moment, I am serving as Lady Ningguang's special emissary." Ganyu explained.

"Ningguang sent you? We were literally just talking about her..." Paimon said, wariness in her voice.

"My apologies, you who have returned from Jueyun Karst... I am duty-bound, and cannot extend my courtesy to you in full." Ganyu apologized, "But I have with me a letter from lady Ningguang. She extends a formal invitation to you in her capacity as Tianquan. She invites you to her palace in the sky."

"An official invitation...?" Aether asked, a frown settling onto his face.

"Lady Ningguang said this: Invite him to come here. I wish to meet him. At the Jade Chamber, together, we shall snip every one of these entwining dark threads."

"And with that, the emissary who called herself Ganyu just disappeared." Paimon commented upon the sudden departure of Ganyu, "But we've recieved an invitation from the Qixing. Paimom still can't believe it!"

"Aw... she just wanted to invite Aether." y/n said with a small pout, "Meh, I bet she's lame anyways."

"You can come too." Aether assured the girl then grinned, "You'll be my plus one!"

"Y/n! Aether! We'll be meeting people that have any more money than Paimon could ever count! We should be on our very best behavior!" Paimon declared.

Y/n frowned, "I am always on my best behavior, Paimon, what do you mea by that?"

"Paimon is up to something again..." Aether sighed heavily with a shake of his head.

"An invitation to visit the Jade Chamber is a rare honor, indeed." Zhongli commented, catching y/n's attention, "You'd best be on your way now. But don't forget about the Rite of Parting. Once you've finished at the Jade Chamber, meet me at Dihua Marsh."

"Don't worry, we won't forget! Dihua Marsh. We'll see you there!" Paimon exclaimed.

"Eh? But I don't wanna leave the old man!" y/n protested and clung to Zhongli's arm, "I refuse to go! Economics is way more fun than some floating palace!"

Zhongli chuckled while Aether groaned in exasperation, face palming himself.

"Seriously, y/n?" Paimon questioned, "There's gonna be food there~!"

Y/n made a quiet humming noise, brows furrowed as she thought about before she turned back to Zhongli and buried her face in his shoulder with a pouty, "Nye!"

Aether and Paimon were shocked.

"She... she refused food!?" Paimon cried, "Mr. Zhongli, how did you get her to like you so much!? Paimon demands an answer!"

"I have no idea." Zhongli chuckled before looking at the h/c haired girl, "Go on, y/n. We'll see each other again."

"You too Old man?" y/n protested then huffed, "Fine. I will bring back a souvenir!"

Despite y/n's decision to go, it took another six minutes for Aether to pry the reluctant girl off of Zhongli's arm.

(I plan on updating one more time today ;w;)
