#but I think after some time well maybe cooldown the traveler was able to collect themselves

The only thing I could say to this is well... I think it's more of the views and circumstances.

I see people compare the situation more with Childe, but what about Lyudochka? Lyney, Lynette and her are both from the House of Hearth.

(Also, I know traveler didn't know their Identity but wow is being saved by a fatui a recurring occurance when they first meet lmao)

In Childe's case, when they first met, Traveler was really distrustful of him. He was really cautious because he knew that Childe is a Fatui, at the same time, a Harbinger. I have not played since release but I do know based on history that it took quite some time for Traveler to actually trust Childe. I dont think he even completely trusts Childe but Traveler respects the fact that Childe will do everything for family. There's understanding between them. Its hard to out into words but they're like a right person, wrong time in terms of friendship I think.

For Lyudochka's case, even if she was in House of Hearth, she had misgivings about the work they do. The Traveler can see that, which is why they went through lengths to help her.

Now for Lyney's case. Oh gosh, I absolutely love him, but at the same time, I was so suspicious of him the entire time doing the AQ. In their first meeting, he showed goodwill to the traveler, which is why the Traveler even though he just arrived, accepted Lyney's request to give out the magic pockets. Lyneh then proceeds to monologue about how magicians works. The line between truth and deception kind of things when the Traveler was with them.

So now comes the trial, where Lyney was accused. Traveler vouches for him. Then it was revealed that Lyney and Lynette are from house of hearth, which the Traveler knows to concoct plans that will seriously harm others. Note that before this trial, the Traveler met Childe and asked him why he was on fontaine. Childe reasons that he's here due to personal reasons. But still, a harbinger is in fontaine. Then, this case it appears to the Traveler there is a possibility that an operation is actually happening. At this pont. The Traveler is overloaded, but they are a rational person, so they ask to adjourn to get the information straight.

Now the talk happens, and Lyney admits they are from the House of Hearth. Im not saying they should've started with this introduction when they first met, but to the Traveler this was probably a significant introduction. In another scenario on which the Traveler never met Lyudochka and Childe, the knowledge of them being fatui might not be relevant, but it becomes relevant in this because the Traveler is defending them in a trial that they know the twins did not commit, but with Childe and House of Hearth in the picture, it becomes a possibility in Traveler's mind that there is something there, and there is a current ploy to gain Traveler's trust.

So then, they're conflicted on trusting the twins, but the traveler is someone who sees everything to the end, and isn't one to turn back on people who they feel they need to return a favor to for their help. They see through the trial, and defend the twins. Then win the case.

After that comes the disappearing act. Where the Traveler tries to leave quietly. Well, emphasis on the tries because the twins did catch up to him, trying to regain his trust and explain their situation. Their situation is really f—d up and the Traveler sympathise with that. However, they also say that they can't completely trust the twins yet and leave without saying another word to them. I think them leaving without a word is not sign of coldness but more need of some time to absorb everything. In the end, what happened what something like the parting with Childe. The traveler sympathised and bid goodbye.

so about that fontaine archon quest huh
