*Third person, no one's P.O.V, Liyue medical ward*

Doctor- And that should do it you're free to go now, just try to take it easy for a while and no spicy food while your stomach is healing.

Thomas- Thanks Doc

He thanks the man before painfully getting up and stepping outside to find Sarah leaning against the building chewing her nails. Turning to the male as he steps out she spits the fragments of nail in her mouth and goes to embrace him before he quickly dodges back holding his hands out to block her.

Thomas- Keep away, you're not suffocating me again woman

Sarah- Sorry, so I take it everything went alright?

Thomas- swimmingly. I checked it, got stitches up and the Doctor asked me how I got impaled in the first place I told him I took a bad dive off a cliff. Any who we're here in Liyue now so best get started on locating the guys base we'll formulate a proper plan along the way.

Sarah- Oh no you don't, you're in no condition to fight after getting impaled like that

Thomas- What? I feel fine now let's go

He says walking off but is stopped by an invisible force, turning around he sees Sarah standing there her hand open and eyes glowing.

Sarah- I said NO!!!

She shouts pulling her arm back dragging the male over and forcing him beside her.

Sarah- There's no way you can face that guy in your current condition, you're staying here until you're better and that's final!

Thomas- Fine have it your way, what do suppose we do while we wait? Ms, Buzzkill

Sarah- Uncalled for. But since we're here in Liyue why don't we explore and Familiarize ourselves with the area?

Thomas- Fine sure whatever

He replies in defeat before the two make their way through out the city taking in all the sights around them: Kids playing near the docks, a woman selling cool lanterns, vendors trying to sell food and more. Gazing around the male takes in and absorbs the incredible architecture around them.

Thomas- 'incredible, such a beautiful Chinese inspired city in contrast to Mondstadt's European, fascinating how architects work around here'

He thinks walking around some more familiarizing himself with many sights to behold before turning to one particularly pleasant sight.

Thomas- Woah....

He breaths as he gazes into the distance to find a purple haired, purple clothed and purple eyed girl standing there doing business with local vendors. Gaping at her the male feels himself fall into a love struck trance as his heart beat accelerates to an almost dangerous rate and the pupil in his cyber eye shifts into a beating heart as he stares at her dreamily. Continuing to walk unaware her companion isn't  following Sarah turns to ask him a question only to find him standing several yards away now rushing over she sees him looking off and gets worried.

Sarah- Hey, you okay?

Thomas- *dreamy sigh*

Sarah- Thomas?

She questions his strange behavior before noticing he's gazing at something in the distance and follows his line of sight to find the purple girl now walking off and disappearing into the sea of people snapping the male out of his trance. Sorting himself back down the male speaks.

Thomas- wow.....She's the second most beautiful girl i've ever seen, More than jean heck even more than you

He says to the girl beside him as she cracks her knuckles in rage.

Sarah- 'more than me?' Hmm.....It would be a shame if something terrible were to happen to her-Gah!

She starts but is cut off as the male karate chops the top of her head snapping her out of her crazy.

Thomas- Stop it, we're not doing that

Sarah- Oh fine! I'll play nice

Thomas- Back to the subject lets keep walking around but I think we should split up that way we can cover more ground.

Sarah- (whispers) and so you can see that girl again without me getting in the way

Thomas- What was that?

Sarah- I said I saw a shop selling cool magic trinkets earlier I want to check out so Toodles.

She excuses herself waving goodbye leaving the male alone. Walking through the harbor some more the male continues to take in the sights around him and is particularly fascinated by a floating building in the sky.

Thomas- Incredible!!!

He shouts gazing up at the building before feeling another presence join him and tuns to find a frail old man standing there.

Old man- Yes it truly is an incredible sight indeed, that there is the Jade Chamber otherwise known as the floating palace, the main base of operations for lady Ningguang and her secretaries.

Thomas- How'd they get it to float like that?

Old Man- I don't know, just because i'm old doesn't mean I'm wise all I know is that we have Rex Lapis to thank for it

Thomas- Who?

He questions causing the old man to reel in shock and grip at his chest seemingly having a heart attack scaring the male as he quickly rubs his hands together to create electricity but luckily the man is just fine and is saved from a painful electrocution

Old Man- How could you not know of Rex Lapis? The Lord and Archon of Geo

Thomas- Archon? Do tell

Old Man- Hmph, do I look like a library to you? Go figure it out yourself

Thomas- Well could you at least tell me where to find the guy?

Old man- Six feet under!

The old man calls walking off not giving the male a second glance leaving him alone once more. bringing his fingers to his chin he thinks.

Thomas- 'six feet under so either he has a small base under ground or he's dead' Best get digging-Oh!

The male oh's as he suddenly feels his stomach grumble loudly rubbing his stomach the male thinks once more.

Thomas- 'hungry, guess getting impaled through the stomach will do that to you, surely there's some grub around here'

He thinks walking off through liyue and in no time at all comes across a small vendors stall selling food. Walking up to the vendor he asks what they have learning every dish there is spicy and remembers the doctors orders of no spicy food before apologizing and turning off to look some more. This same process continues on for the next three food stalls with the male passing up each one his stomach now grumbling loud enough to concern those around him thinking it to be a monster attack. Continuing to walk through town now holding his stomach tightly the male turns a corner only to bump directly into another force. Crashing to the ground the male rubs his buttocks in pain before looking forward to find a short blonde haired girl in a funky white dress sitting there rubbing her head in pain and a small......Fairy? Like creature floating next to her looking mighty tasty to the male. Standing up he helps the girl off the ground and asks a simple question pointing to the creature. 

Thomas- You gonna eat that?

Paimon- For the last time Paimon is NOT emergency food!

???- I don't know Paimon you do look pretty appetizing to me

Paimon- Lumine!

The floating creature whines growing fed up with this whole debacle and floats off leaving the two laughing together. Stopping his laughter the male rubs the back of his head and apolgizes for bumping into her.

Lumine- It's cool I should've been watching where I was going anyway. So you got a name stranger?

Thomas- Thomas, Thomas Bracksen

Lumine- Nice to meet you, I'm Lumine

She introduces herself with a friendly hand shake and even friendlier smile. Pulling back from the shake the two stand there in awkward silence before its broken by the males sounds of hunger.

Thomas- Well it was nice meeting you Lumine but I really need to find some food before I starve

Lumine- If you want I have some grilled tiger fish I bought from a local vendor

Thomas- Is it spicy?

Lumine- No why?

Thomas- Give me!

He lightly shouts in a hurry before snatching the fish from her hands and devouring the thing in a single bite relinquishing in the taste of victory over his stomach cramps......and tiger fish. Wiping his mouth off he thanks the girl and suggests they walk together which the girl happily agrees to and soon enough the floating food from earlier rejoins them still not looking entirely happy not helped by the face that the tiger fish Thomas just ate was apparently hers.

Lumine- So what brings you to Liyue traveler?

Thomas- I'm here on official business looking for a man responsible for the deaths of countless. You?

Lumine- I-I'm looking for my brother. We got separated a while back and ever since i've been searching everywhere for him but to no luck.

Thomas- Need help looking? Tell me what he looks like and i'll keep an eye out

He offers kindly causing the girl to smile warmly at him before giving a description of herself and explains that they're twins. Noting the information down and secretly scanning the girl with his eye to memorize her appearance to the faintest of details the two reach the end of the harbor and the end of their little walk. Clasping his hands together the male turns to her with a farewell.

Thomas- well I'd best be off lots to do, lots to see. Hope you find your brother and I'll definitely be sure to keep an eye for him. It was nice meeting you!

He calls waving goodbye leaving the girl alone with the fairy. 

Paimon- He seemed nice, except that he tried to eat Paimon!

Lumine- Yeah....

She breaths gazing out into the ocean her thoughts now flooded by the scientist. Walking through the harbor some more the male thinks back to what the old man had said earlier.

Thomas- 'Rex lapis, Archon of Geo, six feet under. If he's still alive this could very well be our first step to getting back home but first I need to find the bastard'

He thinks walking up to a kindly looking woman sitting inside a stall selling various trinkets and artifacts. Walking up to her he questions her over rex lapis but reels in shock as she immediately starts sobbing into her hands at the mention of his name. Seeing as she was no use the male continues walking around asking others about rex lapis the results were a mixed bag such as.

Person 1- Well if you're looking for him you're a little late

Person 2- Gee thanks for reminding me JERK!!!

Person 3- *Loud sobs*

Turning away from the last useless commoner the male rests on a nearby bench and unknowingly thinks out loud.

Thomas- Gee seems like everyone here is really torn up about rex lapis just the mention of his name upsets people drastically, guess the fuckers dead. Shame we could've really used him.

Person 4- Excuse me but did you just insult our lord rex lapis?

The male hears angry voice call and turns to find not one not two but ten different people all standing there looking at him with malicious intent some even cracking their knuckles at the sight of him.

Thomas- Yeah so what?

He says bluntly clearly not deterred by the mob of people who all reel back in shock and others start to grab various objects bouncing them in their palms looking for blood. Seeing the commotion more people start to gather around all quickly being informed over the heterochromic heathen which only stirs the crowd up some more and soon enough the male is bombarded with angry protests.

Person 1- How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!!!

Person 2- Someone get the milileth!

Person 3- Forget them this little shits mine

Person- You dare speak of rex lapis in such a way after he's graced us with many years of prosperity and advanced our civilization faster than we could ever do on our own.

Thomas- Okay okay hold on i'm gonna stop you right there

The male speaks standing up holding his hands out in protest.

Thomas- Are you really gonna stand there and tell me that ALL of this that you see around you was done only because of a god? Are you really gonna give him all the credit for what you people have done and worked hard at to achieve?

He speaks out loud standing above the crowd now as he rallies more people around him some interested in what he's saying but most hoping he falls and breaks his neck. As the male continues to speak he unknowingly gains the attention of two brightly colored individuals with opposing thoughts on what's currently coming out of his mouth. 

Thomas- Look around you, tell me what you see! Buildings, markets, streets and incredible architecture, a strong military and firm government all of this ALL OF THIS was brought on by you folk! All this that you see before you is all due to humanity! It is their hard work and perseverance that has brought this nation to it's current glory it has NOTHING to do with your so called god! For it is man who builds the tower up, it is man who has glorified their own nation and it is man who will stand the test of time and prove that we have been and forever will be the dominant species FOREVER!!!

(BTW I'M NOT ATHEIST IN CASE YOU WERE THINKING AFTER READING THIS WHOLE ANTI-GOD SPEECH, NEITHER IS HE)

The male bellows in the crowd and receives mixed reactions some clap, others cheer but most just brush him off with a poisonous glance and walk off until eventually the crowd has completely dispersed leaving the male alone......or so he thinks. Hearing someone clear their throat behind him the male turns to find a blue haired, multi colored eyed girl standing there with black and red horns resting atop her head looking absolutely furious with him.

Thomas- What's up?

???- What's up? How could you say those things about rex lapis? How could you just brush of any and all credit he rightfully deserves after all he's done for us?

Thomas- Listen goaty I stand by what I said just now. I believe that everything done here was done by man and their hard work and quite frankly it's silly to give all nay ANY of the credit to a god who's about as useful right now as this bug I just stepped on.

???- You know I never truly hated a human before in my life. But as they say there's a first time for everything. You are the worst!!!

She shouts at him before turning around on her heel and storming off leaving the male to mumble something indistinguishable under his breath. Going to walk off he's once again interrupted by another voice calling behind him.

???- Excuse me but were you just speaking ill of rex lapis?

Thomas- Yeah, who's askiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-

The male starts but quickly trials off as he recognizes the girl standing before him. It was the same purple haired girl he saw before when walking around looking more radiant now than before and now being so close he notices an extra lovely detail he hadn't before: Her eyes, more specifically her pupils which were in the shape of diamonds (at least I think they're diamonds, weird shape hard to tell) and looking just lovely to the now stuttering blushing male. Ignoring his long I the girl simply introduces herself.

Keqing- Hello my name is Keqing Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. May I know yours?

Thomas- *squeaky voice* O-oh um uh-HI, my Thomas is Name-I mean name my Thomas-I mean-

Keqing- Thomas? Doesn't sound like a local name to me but that doesn't matter. Back to the point were you just speaking ill of rex lapis?

Thomas- *squeaky voice* Y-yeah, why?

He asks before watching as the girl slowly applauds him a content smile on her face which fills the male with intense euphoria.

Keqing- I have to say i'm impressed. I've never met someone who's so eager to push aside rex lapis and acknowledge that man is the true cause for everything we've accomplished even more so someone who's willing to shout it out loud for the whole world to hear. I like that.

Thomas- O-oh, wow i-it was n-nothing you know. Hey what's that over there!

He shouts pointing behind her causing the girl to turn around, whilst turned the male quickly fist pumps the air like mad a content and goofy smile plastered on his face before settling back down as the girl faces him once more.

Keqing- Don't be modest it wasn't nothing it was incredible. 'You're incredible'. 

Thomas- 'This is the best!' Well i'm happy I could please you as much as I did. But I best be off now: lots to do, lots to see.

He tells her going to walk off but is stopped yet again when he feels her grab his hand in her own sending an electrical spark up his arm and his face exploding into a blush. Turning back around he finds her there a gentle smile on her face which causes to blush even harder if possible.

Keqing- You know, I've never seen you around here before and being a relatively small town its hard not to meet everyone here.

Thomas- O-oh that's because I'm new in town I just arrived here this morning

Keqing- Well then traveler allow me to be the first to officially welcome you to the city of Liyue. The city of Geo and Contracts. We're also well known for our spicy delicacies.

Thomas- Yeah....I noticed

He mumbles rubbing his stomach which once again grumbles after only being fed a small fish on a stick. Hearing this the girl offers to help.

Keqing- Are you hungry? If you want I could treat you to a meal that's sure to satisfy your hunger cramps.

Thomas- No, I couldn't ask you to do that. I have nothing to give to you in return.

Keqing- Nonsense just hearing you speak earlier has gotten me in the best of moods and i'd gladly share a meal with someone I can easily relate to.

Thomas- *squeaky voice* S-S-S-Share a M-M-M-M-M-M-Meal?

The male stutters like crazy confusing the girl present before she speaks up once more.

Keqing- Yes and afterwards i'd like to give you a proper tour of Liyue if you haven't already gotten one

Thomas- *squeaky voice* T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Tour?

Keqing- I'll lead the way

She says walking off gesturing for the still stuttering and now steaming male follow. Walking through the harbor for a short while in silence the two eventually make it to a small restaurant which according to the sign out front is titled Wanmin Restaurant. Heading inside the two are greeted by friendly hostess who leads them to their seats at the back of the restaurant where the two sit in silence before keqing clears her throat to speak startling the male.

Keqing- So Thomas what brings you to Liyue on this fine evening?  

Thomas- O-oh you know j-just looking around ya know? Back in Mondstadt I heard so much about this place and i've always wanted to visit it so here I am now

He lies shocking the girl with his statement as she looks him over to find he's a seemingly harmless looking guy save for the metal enhancements and the journey from the two towns in incredibly dangerous.

Keqing- Mondstat? You mean you traveled all this way just to sight see? Alone?

Thomas- Well not alone. I do have a companion with me but she's currently um......*glances around* somewhere.

*MEANWHILE*

Sarah- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The girl snores loudly resting beneath a large tree providing some nice shade for her nap surrounded by several bags filled with various items.

*BACK TO THOMAS*

Thomas- So yeah, i'm sure she's around

Keqing- 'She?'

The girl thinks simply unknowingly crushing the cup in her hands before the waitress comes over handing them their menus and brings the girl a new drink. Looking over the menu the male is bombarded with all the different and quite frankly weird dishes on the menu.

Thomas- Mushroom and Slime condensate stew?, Lizard tail and butterfly wings on a stick?, Frosted Slime Condensate? Is this stuff even edible?

Keqing- Yes the head chef here has a knack for adding......peculiar ingredients to her dishes but trust me they're a lot tastier than they sound.

Thomas- If you say so. 'Can't be any worse than Sarah's cooking'

The male obliges and the two make their orders the male picking the most normal sounding thing on the menu before falling back into small talk this with the male leading after working up the courage to look the girl in her beautiful beautiful eyes his heart still beating rapidly.

Thomas- S-so keqing?

Keqing- Hmm?

Thomas- Earlier you said you were the Yuheng of this village. W-what exactly is that?

Keqing- Well as the Yuheng I oversee all day to day affairs in Liyue whether big or small such as: How the market trade is doing, collecting tax money, making sure everyone is obliging by the rules and although you definitely broke a few I'll let you off this time because, well because I like you.

Thomas- Aww that's the nicest thing that anyone has said to me. Though considering the way people usually treat me back home that's not a very high bar to clear. 

Keqing- Oh?

Thomas- Don't get the wrong idea it's not like they're spitting on my image or treating me like crap they just find my presence rather annoying at times and would rather not associate themselves with me in public.

Keqing- Well they're clearly missing out you seem like a wonderful person. Oh.

She oh's as their food arrives and the the dig in the male still a little cautious. Pulling up from her shrimp balls the girl wipes her mouth clean with a napkin and follows up on their conversation.

Keqing- So if I may what do you do?

Thomas- Me? Well I work as a scientist/blacksmith back home and a pretty damn good one if I do say so myself.

Keqing- Interesting *pops shrimp in mouth* tell me more

Thomas- 'wow this is the first time someone has taken this much interest in me since Aubrey......She's amazing'. Well as a scientist I of course tinker around with different chemicals and experiments but I also explore around collecting and researching plant life for use in said experiments. I'm also really good with machines able to build constructs that are border line miracle workers and I'm also really skilled when it comes to weaponry and engineering. See this *flexes metal arm* made it myself only took me ten minutes too.

Keqing- Seems you're a real savant. May I see it?

She says pointing to his arm an the male happily obliges removing the limb with a crack and a pop before handing it off to her. Turning the arm in her hands the girl gaps over the engineering that must've went into this and gaps even further by it's sleek white and gold coloring scheme, a plethora of small details and intricate designs across the arm and a symbol that resembles a U and an S intertwined in a pair of wings at the bicep. Handing it back to the male who reattaches it with painful grunt she starts.

Keqing- Such an amazing item, if your other machines and inventions are anything like this then you should be very proud.

Thomas- Oh I am

The two commune tossing a warm smile back to one another feeling their hearts beat faster by the second and their faces heating up. Finishing off their meals and leaving a tip the two then walk though town keqing giving the male that tour she promised earlier. First stopping just outside Wanmin Restaurant.

Keqing- If you couldn't tell this is a very popular local here in Liyue

Thomas- Yeah I got that

Then to the market district where children are playing and adults are selling various items everything from artifacts to ores to lanterns and kites. 

Keqing- This is the market district you wont find anything you're looking for elsewhere

Thomas- Seems useful

Making their way over to the far side of town they find several large men currently banging pieces of metal together, tossing them into a furnace and molding them into weapons. Picking up a sword and handing it to the male to inspect the girl speaks.

Keqing- These are the Iron Mongers the finest blacksmiths in all of Liyue you'll find no better weapons then here

Thomas- *tosses blade back down* Adequate

Iron Monger- Adequate he says. You know what's adequate you little fuc-

He shouts but is promptly ignored as the two walk off exploring around Liyue some more with the male learning so much before their little tour comes to an end as they reach their final destination. Stopping at the edge of a large dock the girl gestures for the male to sit beside her which he happily obliges to their dangling off the edge.

Keqing- This is by far my favorite time and place of Liyue

Thomas- okay place I understand but time?

The male asks confused over her statement however instead of receiving a straight answer the girl simply points out into the horizon and the male turns to see a sunset like no other showering the mountain range ahead of them in brilliant warm colors and the light reflecting off the water giving it the illusion that the sun is melting straight into the water. Sighing lightly the girl speaks.

Keqing- Isn't it beautiful?

Thomas- Yeah.......it sure is.

He breaths however his sights are no longer set on the sunset but rather the girl who's immaculate beauty is further amplified by the lighting coming off the water making her look like a goddess to the male. Turning her head the girl sees him staring directly at her clearly in a trance and pieces together he was speaking of her. A blush now enveloping her face she sees the male like she hadn't before she had found him cute when she first saw him but now in the rays of the sunlight and the twinkling of both his cyber but even more so his normal eye he looks seriously handsome to her. Then the two just sit there gazing at one another both lost in the looks of the other their hearts beating in time, their breathes hitching like mad before they find themselves slowly leaning forward their breathing becoming shallow as they can only think of one thing right now.

Keqing- Thomas......

Thomas- Keqing........

They breath as they lean closer and closer feeling one another's breath, smelling each others sweet intoxicating scent, okay Thomas smelling hers as he smells like motor oil and sweat as per usual. Back to the point the two are leaning so closely now they feel their lips just ever so slightly grace one another's before-

Woman- AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

They hear a woman scream bloody murder which is quickly followed by more and all hell suddenly breaks loose as people start scurrying around in pandemonium all looking for safety scooping up their children as they run for the hills. Breaking apart the two immediately forget about what just happened and start glancing around confused over what's going on before the girl turns to see a ship sailing towards the harbor: A black flag ship.

Keqing- *gasp* Pirates

She concludes turning to the still panicking citizens before standing atop a large crate and silencing everyone around her.

Keqing- EVERYONE PLEASE EVACUATE THE CITY, THE MILILETH WILL TAKE OF THIS BUT WE NEED YOU TO CALM DOWN AND FOLLOW THIS MAN *gestures to random milileth* OUT OF THE CITY!!!

Milileth- Follow me folks, you have nothing to fear as long as you do exactly as I say

The man calls rallying the people beside him as he and some more lead the citizens out of the city and to safety. Hopping down from the crate the girl turns to the male who's currently gazing out as the now anchoring ships with a glare.

Keqing- Thomas you go too, I don't want you getting hurt

Thomas- what and let you have all the fun? *Summons Lunar Scythe* Not in your dreams.

He states shocking the girl over the enormous weapon which he carries like a lightweight before watching him charge into the fray. Running towards the now advancing pirates the male jumps into the air and slams the scythe into the ground blunt side first and the men just laugh thinking he totally missed before watching him smirk as the blade starts to glow a violent shade of blue and everyone present watches in shock as a small energy scythe emerges from the blade and spins it's way over to the group of men slicing one clean in half vertically. Now knowing this dork is a lot stronger then he looks the others quickly arm themselves with swords and pistols charging the male before quickly being dispatched by the girl who appears in a flash of purple lightning and starts slashing around taking out any pirate in sight. Spinning around in a circle the male takes out all enemies around him before slamming the scythe once more and shooting another energy scythe taking out another poor unlucky soul. Tossing away the scythe the male summons his dual hand cannon onyx and opal and opens fire on an advancing battalion of pirates who are swiftly taken out, turning around he goes to fire at another but quickly realizes he's out of ammo seeing this the pirate taunts before the male simply chucks the gun at his head taking him out also. Reclaiming his gun and reloading the two the male goes to fire at another group of them before they're taken out by a large blast of electricity brought on by the girl then watches as she expertly and gracefully fights her away across the docks towards the pirate captain.

Thomas- Man, what a woman

He states uppercutting a pirate who thought he could get the drop on him whilst he was distracted. Resummoning the lunar scythe the male slams the blunt side at a nearby pirate crushing him before quickly summoning the duke and shoots another point blank in the face. Now dual wielding the male points the gun behind him and uses the intense recoil to rocket himself across the battle field slashing at any pirates once he gets close flying around like a pin ball of doom before only the captain is left standing. Backing to the edge of the dock the captain throws his hands up in surrender pleading for his life as the girl advanced on him. Seeing him cower the girl puts her sword away and goes to take him in but quickly realizes her mistake as the captain head butts her away, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her face first into the ground with a sickening crack and that's when all hell breaks loose. Watching what the captain did the male feels time slow down as his blood boils and his cyber eyes turns redder than ever before but it doesn't stop there soon his eye is glowing so brightly it radiates from his eye shining around his head and his face scrunches into one of pure rage still not done his veins start to glow red and his breath becomes shaky as a barbaric and almost animalistic urge takes over and the male bellows a blood curdling war cry before charging the captain. Dashing over the male rips him off the girl who's nose is bleeding tremendously before slamming him into a nearby ship crushing the entire hull and shattering both his jaw and nose and popping an eye as the captain screams in agony not done though the male then proceeds to knee him in the gut with enough force to make him cough up blood and fall to the ground holding his hands up in plea.

Thomas- *gravely cold voice* Oh no, not falling for that again

He tells him coldly grabbing him by the hands and pulling with enough force to effectively tear both his arms off still not done the male proceeds to stomp on his abdomen over and over and over again the captain now spewing blood everywhere screaming and begging for mercy but the male is too lost in his own rage and animalistic frenzy to listen or care. Dropping to his knees the male punches him into the face repeatedly turning his face into a bloody toothy mess as the captain is now gurgling his own blood and can only speak in shallow mumbles and horrified screams of terror and agony. Finally getting off the floor Keqing looks to see what's happening and is horrified to see the once friendly scientist now beating the captain into submission giving him an extremely slow and painful treatment with not a speck of mercy to be shown. Thinking she's had enough the girl quickly rushes over and tries to pry the male off the pirate screaming at him to stop.

Keqing- THOMAS STOP!!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!!, HE'S HAD ENOUGH!!! STOP IT!!!

She screams at the top of her lungs before finally pulling the male off the now still pirate captain. Getting back up and taking several shaky breaths the male glances around him to see several straggling citizens and milileth members around them all looking at him in horror over what he did. Seeing this the male then reverts back to his blue eyed normal veined self. Looking at his blood drenched hands in horror the male begins shaking his breath hyperventilating before turning to the girl.

Thomas- I'm sorry, I have to go!!!

He shouts before sprinting away pushing through the crowd of people trying to get as far away from there as possible. Not wanting the male to go the girl tries to make a grab for him but is too late and she watches as he disappears into the crowd and from sight. Watching him go the girl tries grabbing at empty air hoping it'll bring him back but to no avail as she stands there and thinks.

Keqing- 'Thomas, what ever that was it wasn't you I don't know you much but I do know you'd never do something like that. I don't hold it against you.'

She thinks before turning back around to see the sun just peeking under the horizon before disappearing from sight blanketing the world in darkness. Watching this the girl thinks back to their short exchange over the sunset and looks in the direction the male ran off.

Keqing- 'You truly are incredible Thomas, and I do desperately hope to see you again.'

She thinks once more feeling her heart beat faster and her face heat up smiling to herself before turning to walk off into town excited for their next chance meeting.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

AUTHOR'S NOTE- Alright big number 15 a nice round number wouldn't you agree? Now to answer any questions you might have: Yes the romance between Thomas and Keqing was pretty fast but I now realize we are fifteen chapters in and hardly any romance has happened so i'll start pushing it more and No Lumine will not be joining the harem as i'm trying to stray from the main genshin storyline and focus on my own(Sorry Doct), Anyways that's all I have to say. Stay tuned and stay pretty ya'll.
