Paimon has been grumpy throughout your way back to the area where the Rite of Parting will be held. You noticed this and pointed at Paimon in concern. Lumine looked at the pixie before looking back at you.

"Don't worry about her, she's just grumpy that you could understand what we were talking about earlier." She waved off. Paimon glared at the two of you before whipping her head to the side in a sulking manner. You grinned and poked her cheeks.

"Aww, I'm sorry. Paimon, I just love to remain silent and watch you guys chat." If Paimon was being honest, she really didn't understand a word you say but she has a feeling you're still teasing and trying to comfort her at the same time.

This time, Lumine became the translator for Paimon.

"What she's saying is, she likes to stay quiet and listen to us talk." Lumine translated for Paimon. Paimon looked at you happily and hugged your head, you had to pry her off your face without getting your hair pulled off. "She also said that she will say that she understands us everytime we're talking to someone." The blond traveler added as she looked at you in a threatening way. You gulped even if you didn't understand most of the words she said.

"Right? You'll tell us when you understand us, right?" You hid behind Paimon while nodding in a hurry as if praying for your life. "Yes ma'am!"

Lumine laughed at this and patted your shoulder. You groaned and looked back at her with an annoyed expression.

'But I can't really reveal what isn't mine to reveal so you have to find out for yourself about Zhongli.' You say to yourself as you watch Lumine babbling some nonsense next to you while you casually nod as if you understand what she's saying.

For starters, she's speaking the language you understand. And second, no, you don't even understand what she's talking about.

You were surprised when Zhongli was at the terrace waiting. He spotted you but didn't try talking to you. He has something that needs to be finished and can't afford to lose the time.

The three of them were lost to chatting with eachother talking about what their next plan should be. You didn't bother joining in but you did listen to them in while holding an innocent face trying to not make it obvious that you can understand them.

When they finally finished what they are talking about. Lumine turned to look at you and informed you what the next plan is.

"I hope you don't feel too out of the place." Lumine murmured apologetically. You shook your head and smiled at her. "No worries, I'm very patient." You reassured her. She gave you a small smile.

"Well, to make up for it. Let's do this!" She held your hand once more that completely blew off the fuse from your brain trying to process what she's planning on doing. You looked at her confused but she just giggled.

"To make sure you don't feel out of place everytime we talk!" You feel a little sorry for her and the urge to tell her that you understand her as Zhongli is an adeptus, more specifically, Morax, but you don't have the right to even reveal it to her.

Even if he did kinda threatened your life earlier.

'Sorry, Lumine.' You thought to yourself as you followed her pace.
