#Gorou just eating some wolfhook for a snack and he makes a new friend lmao

Don’t mind Razor. He’s slightly staring at Gorou, almost with stars in his eyes. He wastes no time in heading over, watching his ears and tail. “You are….like Lupical!” He can’t help it, he’s just excited. “I am Razor…! You are like wolf, the ears and tail!”

Being outside Inazuma was still like a fever dream at times. After growing up in the previously locked down nation and spending his formative and childhood years thinking he'd never seen the rest of Teyvat outside Inazuma, seeing that actually happen made it all the more exciting for Gorou despite knowing he'd be ready to go home to Inazuma by the time he had to take a boat back. He'd already gotten to see Liyue once and explore a fraction of what the region had to offer in terms of scenery and wilderness, but this time he was seeing what Mondstat had to offer.

Todays itinerary for him was Wolvendom. Not as big of cliffs that the area dubbed Stormterrors Lair boasted, but it was still centrally located enough and had the lore of a pack of wolves and a former guardian spirit living there, so Gorou had wanted to spend at least an afternoon there to explore it as well. He'd found some interesting looking berries growing all around a grassy area up a hill, so the General had settled down with a lap full to snack on at the edge of one of the smaller cliffs.

He didn't hear any sounds of the wolf pack nearby, so Gorou felt perfectly fine sitting where he was for now. But when he was halfway through the berries he'd been enjoying Gorou's ears did twitch at hearing a quick set of human footsteps approaching him, and the accompanying scent of animal had Gorou's eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he turned and looked around. So imagine his surprise when he saw a boy younger than him that looked at him as if he'd been given a gift.

"You are….like Lupical! I am Razor…! You are like wolf, the ears and tail!"

Blinking as he tried to understand what this Razor meant by being 'like Lupical', since the boy standing in front of him was very clearly a full human, Gorou moved the remaining berries from his lap to the ground so he could stand up and properly talk to Razor.

"Well, I have dog blood in me, so sort of like a wolf. Do you live in Mondstat? I haven't really seen any people out this way aside from the people who work at the Winery or live in.... Springvale." He was still learning the names of the areas, so Gorou wasn't sure.
