[ The video is just a dark-haired catgirl with her face against her hand. People might recognize her as a miqo'te if they're familiar with them! She's addressing the device while a little duck and dragonet play on the desk near a pile of colorful strings by her side. Some freshly cut flowers are stacked behind them, too. ]

Had enough craziness this moon. Adventuring here doesn't really have the same spark as what we'd do back home, though... and there's been a few folk heading that way, it seems. At least I'd hope.

[ Seeing friends leave is always sad. She just hopes they're safe! ]

Name's Megumi, Matriarch of the Utakata Tribe. Got a request for you lot.

[ Her ears flick, as she continues: ]

What sorts of adventures did you lot have, anyroad? Got a few bells before I'm off duty, and I like to write about them. Tell me about them, even the most mundane. Maybe a chocobo chased you around, or you tried to eat a moogle's pom. Something or the other.

[ She holds up a pattern by the strings, a chocobo and mog pattern (smaller and cuter designs though!) before setting it down. ]

That's what those are. Anyroad, there's a charm in it for you, as thanks. Or a potion. Wasn't much of a magical person outside of my healing, but I'm missing what I used to be able to do all the same. Somehow controlling plants just feels rude at times.

[ She twirls a string bracelet on a finger, from the pile she has on her desk. ]

Tell me a story then, aye? You can say the accessories bring good luck. Made by a Radiant Matriarch and all. That would be me, by the way. Don't forget it.

[ And she winks, before she ends her side to see what she'll get! ]

Ohh~ Charms.

[Someone is quickly suckered into this with a crow's eye.]

Ah heh, depends. Paimon can share all sorts of adventures before being dumped in the lake.

[ Oh no, where did this adorable creature come from?! Her motherly side is pinged. ]

Paimon's your name, is it? You're so cute! Where'd you drop in from, lass?

[Careful, this adorable child-like creature carries 3 stomachs. Paimon smiles happily and nods. It's so refreshing to be complimented with adorableness, her grin stretches across her cheeks. Congrats Megumi, you are one of Paimon's favorite.]

Yes ma'am. Reliable tour guide and other stuff! A world called Teyvat. Does it sound familiar by chance?

[A small shot, yet Paimon doesn't recognize her accent.]

[ She's in good company, then! ]

Hm! Can't say I've heard of it. Why don't you tell me something about it, then? What's this Teyvat like? Is everyone there as adorable as you?

That's okay! Just making sure. Eh-heh.

Well, it's a lot but Paimon will try to keep it brief. Teyvat is ruled by The Seven in their own respectful nation. Like Mondstadt worships the Anemo Archon Barbatos-- [As she speaks the God's name, she can't help but glance a side, he's something.] --and Liyue who worships Geo Archon Rex Lapis. Some places are super green, big oceans, and cold places with a humungous mountain. The food is very different in each nations and yummy too!

Oh! Anyone with Visions are said they were blessed by a God, which grants them elemental powers. Then there's the usual Hilichurls and Slimes who are one of the many causing trouble.

[Paimon finally ends with a shrug. Talking like a natural tour guide, nothing special.]

[ Oh, this is interesting!! She listens attentively, her ears lifting and flicking as she blinks the more Paimon continues.

... So much of this is sounding familiar in a strange way. ]

So... these "Seven" are your gods, then? We've got something like that back on mine own star. We've got the Twelve, and the Kami! As for visions... there's something called "The Echo". Some people have that as a blessing of Hydaelyn- that's our world's name!

Guess Teyvat and Hydaelyn aren't all that different, aye? Are there others around from your world here, then?

For starters, people born with cat features are uncommon. Some even try to hide it. [Paimon happily adds.]

Woah-woah! Hold on. Your world is a star? Like... in the sky?!

Hide it? Why's that? People with ears like mine own are pretty abundant around our star.

[ Her reaction makes her blink and chuckle though! ]

Think most worlds are like stars in the sky though, aye? It's what we use to call our world.

You must have magics in your world then. Do you know any, Paimon?

Maybe they're shy? Paimon isn't quite sure, cat ears are really cute. Though Paimon imagines it brings unnecessary attentions to them, like stalking cat-fetish weirdos. Some of them needs a good scratch on the face.

[Paimon can relate. People still judge her! What Megumi suggests makes Paimon ponder for a moment, tapping the bottom of her lip lightly.]

You know, that probably does make sense! Paimon never thought to ask. [Never thought to ask 'who'?]

[Paimon nods happily again.] Yeah! Only those with Visions are blessed with only one elemental magic like anemo, pyro, electro, geo, cyro, and hydro. [Though there is dentro but she hasn't met anyone with that elemental power yet.] So really, it depends what the Gods bestow up the person, even a child could wake up with crazy pyro exploding power!

BOOOOM~! SHA! [Paimon goes further with this by expanding one arm out as if imitating a huge explosion.

But.... [The excitement quickly dies down. Paimon scratches the back of her head nervously.]

Paimon is no Vision. The only thing Paimon can do is float and summon unintentionally the rumble of her stomach.

We get those whether or not we hide our ears, lass. Some even like pulling our tails. Word of advice- don't do that.

[ Unless someone asks but that goes without saying. Either way? She stares for a bit at her display, before chuckling. ]

Your gods sound a bit careless, don't they? That would scare a child. Probably for life. I don't want my children to be fearful like that. Have my hands full with four as it is!

[ She smiles a bit then, ears flicking. ]

What about your family? Do you have any around?

Actually, she isn't scared the slightest bit of her Vision. The only thing worth fearing is those bombs of her's, but Paimon wouldn't worry. She has good people watching over her.

[Poor Jean and the rest of the Knights. Though, Paimon incline to agree about the gods and makes a face like any child trying to hide good gossips.]

There's no family for Paimon although... [She taps her chin.] the closest thing family to Paimon is the Traveler. [A small shrug. Paimon can't recall such things, which she is surprisingly fine with.]

Paimon is Paimon.

Traveler?

[ She listens to her until she gets to that part. Huh, curious. This is all sorts of good information she could put together once she gets around to it. ]

What's this Traveler like, then? How'd you find them?

Let's see... they're really hard workers, traveling around, picking up quests and requests, and man, some of these quests makes some of them lazy to do. They're kind and sweet, great at cooking! Very curious! Tells horrible jokes. [Mostly about Paimon.]

Ah heh, from the end of the hook. [Paimon laughs sheepishly.]

They sound like the Warrior of Light back on mine own world. Sent them out to fetch me a cake for my son, once... and they did it, even though they're a hero.

[ She smiles, recalling it, before watching Paimon. ]

... a hook? Were they fished out of somewhere?

No, ma'am. Paimon was the fish that day, they saved Paimon unintentionally from drowning. [Fond memories.]

Warrior of Light? [Paimon echoes the title curiously, stroking her chin.]

Aww, that's so nice of them. So, what are they like? Like warriors with armor shining so bright?
