>Aether and Paimon are searching for the Adepti to tell them that their Rex Lapis is dead and the last place they need to go is at Wangshu Inn
>As Aether and Paimon walk to the balcony, they saw a (H/c) haired male who is sitting on the rail with his back facing them
>At first, Aether and Paimon thought that this (H/c) haired male is an Adeptus that they are looking for
>So, they decide to greet this mysterious Adeptus
"Umm, excuse me?" Paimon calls out and the (H/c) haired male turns around where they saw a unique of (E/c) eye, staring at the duo in alert before vanishing away, leaving a few flower petals.
"Ah! Wait, we're not-And he left. What do we do now? Are we even in the right place?" Paimon ask and Aether shrug and both of them walk to the edge where they feel amazed at the beautiful scenery but as they continue to watch the scenery-
"To the blind, everything may not be as it appears..."
-they jump when they hear a new voice beside them, out of nowhere.
The duo turn around where they saw someone is here but it's not the (H/c) haired one, this one is different. "You bring a Sigil of Permission? You came prepared. Though this only prevents me from hurting you myself. Doesn't stop you from getting hurt in other ways." Paimon and Aether looked at each other, didn't understand what Adeptus was trying to say.
"Uhh... Paimon don't get it."
"Too much contact with our world is breaking the rules. Mortal souls are not as robust as those of adepti, nor can your body carry this level of adept energy. It's for your own good. Leave."
And with that, the Adeptus leave the duo behind.
"Argh! Paimon's peeved! All he does is think about himself! Paimon wants to give him an ugly nickname but if you tick off an adeptus, the only thing you'll probably ever find in the treasure chest is cabbages! Bleurgh!"
"Guess we should go ask the boss lady of the inn about just how she manages to talk to adeptus."
With that, the duo walk back downstairs so they can talk to the owner of the inn, so they can have a chance to talk with the Adeptus.
>After do the 'Almond Tofu' small mission, Aether and Paimon come back with a plate of Almond Tofu and plate of (Favorite Food) and return to the balcony
>Where both travelers saw both Adeptus, standing side by side as they watching scenery in silence
>Feeling the presence, the (H/c) haired male turn around where this take attention from the other Adeptus also turn around
>Of course, for some reason both Aether and Paimon notice the annoyed look from the emo Adeptus while the other Adeptus look wary at the sight of both travelers duo but a bit confusion at the sight of Almond Tofu in Aether's hand
>Before his face light up at the sight of (Favorite Food) in Aether's hand
>When both Adeptus tried to leave, Paimon quickly stop them and Aether give both dishes to Adepti and start to tell about the tragedy had happened in Liyue
"Rex Lapis... How could this be?" Xiao muttered in shock while the Adeptus beside him name [Name] stared at both travelers in shock with his hand to cover his mouth.
"I can't imagine it... Even though times have changed, I've never thought about what would happen to Liyue without him..." [Name] muttered, you could hear his sad tone as he stared down his shoes.
