ADVENTURE TIME

[focalors]

[ The winds feel... different than the sea air she was use to in Fontaine. With no tethers to her lands, she can truly live as she has dreamed of for centuries. To travel where freedom calls for her, where sweet songs were said to come from and perhaps even visit the darting mountains in Liyue.

There was plenty of possibility, the kind that brings Furina right to Katheryne where she's patting the table in front of her anxiously. ]

You mean... no one has accepted the offer? The commission has been posted for four hours! I thought this land was full of curious adventurers! That is what the Steambird has stated!

[ However, despite her pout, she isn't rude. Muttering softly to herself, Furina stews: maybe I can find a way to go out myself.

But – she isn't going to give up. ]

W-What if I double payment? Surely, there's someone willing to give tours to weary travelers!

[But unfortunately, Bennett doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. So maybe he should have been watching where he was going instead of where he has been. He backs up into the fountain, his heel catching on the fountain's edge. The result is he stumbles backward, letting out a surprised yelp as he falls.]

Agh?!

[He lands in the water with a SPLASH. The kids playing nearby let out a giggle at what happened to him, as all eyes are on him now.]

Aww man...

[ Stories carry on the wind, partially in fault for the Anemo Archon and his all-reaching grasp across Teyvat. Whatever she learned through reading about Mondstadt pales in comparison. The pebble stone walkways were charming, the busy streets were like a vein that pumps life into the city, and there's such a ... rustic charm she feels completely overdressed.

Furina listens to Bennett, caught in the adventurous way he describes his city. That wanderlust in his eyes was not for leaving, she sees it – he wants to know the lands here unlike anyone else! It's endearing, really. She too is following closely behind him and by the time he flops into the fountain – Furina nearly tumbles in right with him!

Her knees catch the edge and the splash hits her a bit but she cares little. ]

A-Are you alright?! [ A hand extends out, confusion washed as much as care. ] I wasn't aware the show had a water-centric finale... but... it is memorable, huh? Here, let me help you.

[Bennett lets out an awkward but amused chuckle. Just his luck, huh? Not even five minutes into working with a new client and misfortune has already struck like lightning.]

H-haha, yeah... Yeah, I'm fine. [He smiles cheerily, despite what happened, and firmly grasps her hand. His clothes were soaked, sticking to his body, and the gloves he normally wore were no different, some water seeping out of them as he squeezes her hand. But with her kindness and help offered, he pulls himself out of the water.]

Sorry about that, I should have been watching where I was going. [He scratches the back of his head, with an almost unbothered grin on his face. Like it was no big deal this happened to him, even as water almost pours itself out of his uniform.]
