#(( Lumine having a whole existential crisis while Xiao is just standing there with his flowers poor boy

[viatrixtravels-a]

Xiao shuffles towards Lumine, hand behind his back.

"..Lumine." He called out towards the girl, slowly pulling his hand back from behind him, holding out the Qingxin flowers.

"..I got these for you." Xiao mumbled.

"I wanted to thank you for the things you did for liyue,, and me."

"Ah! Xiao! How have you beーー Hm?"

The smile on her face changed into an expression of surprise when her amber hues laid eye upon the small, white flowers.

"For...me?"

It was a sweet gesture, one which she appreciated very much. However, she then recalled one of those silly little comic books Fischl let her borrow once.

Lumine forgot what they were called, but they were horribly cliched and a little too sappy for her taste, but there was a scene between two main characters in which the boy gave the girl flowers and confessed his love for her right after.

"...!!"

Her face exploded into a million shades of crimson, causing her swiftly turn around in an attempt to hide her embarrassing.

( Calm down, Lumine! Deep breaths! You're probably just overthinking it! He wants to thank you for your efforts, that's all! )

Turning back around, the Traveller reluctantly accepted the flowers, bringing them close to her face to take in its slightly sweet frangrance.

"Thank you. ...Uhm, anything else?"
