The moon hung high over Mondstadt, casting its soft glow over the city as the night carried on with its usual peaceful rhythm. After a long day of running errands and assisting around town, you found yourself at the tavern once again. This time, it was a much-needed break from the chaos of life. The gentle hum of quiet chatter filled the air, and the familiar smell of delicious food and drink greeted you as you pushed the door open.

Behind the counter, Diona stood with her back to you, wiping down glasses, her ears flicking slightly as she worked. The tavern was relatively calm this evening, save for a few patrons. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts, her usual energetic self toned down in the calm of the moment.

You couldn't help but smile to yourself as you made your way over to the bar, your eyes catching hers the moment she turned. Her expression softened, a small but genuine grin spreading across her face as she saw you.

"Ah, look who finally decided to show up," she teased, her voice light and playful, though you could hear the fondness in it. "Was wondering when you'd get here."
