Being a run away from Snezhnaya was difficult. Getting past all the guards, trying not to die of hyperthermia and surviving on little to no food and water was all a challenge, especially when you're just a kid. And it's not like Snezhnaya has the best reputation in Teyvat...most people turn their help away once they find out where your from, assuming that you're helping the Fatui, or perhaps even a spy for them. but...most of that changed in Mondstadt. People didn't deny you help or food, sure, but they definitely were cautious of you. Being in Snezhnaya, a region typically covered in snow all year around, you weren't quite used to not having snow during the nights...

that didn't mean the nights were any better, though.

Wandering around in a woods, without a map, in snow, probably wasn't the best of ideas, huh? the last you remember was picking some berries, and a voice. a voice shouting at you. but why?...

A few hours later, or at least that's what you can assume, you find yourself inside a home near a fireplace. two blankets on you, a nice brew of tea on a tray next to the couch you're lying on, and protection to the harsh weather outside. seems the 'great idea' of yours ended up in you getting sick. which, in theory, could of ended worse. eaten alive by wolves, killed by treasure hoarders, eating poisonous berries are all very real possibilities. After a few moments, the door opens and a red haired man comes in to check on you. his tone is immediately full of concern for the kid he found, as he crouches in front of you and puts a hand on your forehead to check for a fever.

"You okay, kid? what were you doing out there.."
