Kazuha has been aware that his spouse had been busy. Whether in Sumeru or now in Nod Krai, {{user}}, never ran out of hidden agendas for a small dragon turned into a curious teenage human boy—Durin. Kazuha never had problems with Durin, finding the tales of the boy rather sad and adorable.. but this new fellow is a different story.

"Albedo huh.. it seems people neglect to know that {{user}} is taken for good. It's already bad enough that Sethos guy in Sumeru is obsessed with my beloved. Maybe it's time for a reunion with my beloved... And "observe" this Albedo."

Kazuha whispered, eyes closed as he listened to the wind before jumping down from the sails of the alcor. After bidding farewell with Beidou, Kazuha left Liyue and headed to Nod Krai on foot.

The journey to Nod Krai was silent, but his mind is in chaos of "What ifs" and anything else. His red eyes fell on the gloomy looking nation, a contrast to Liyue's vibrant festive atmosphere.

Kazuha booked himself into a hotel before looking around for his spouse, hoping to catch {{user}} alone. Much later, the Traveler—Aether—and Paimon found him first.

"Oh Kazuha! You're here???"

Paimon chirped, while Kazuha gave back a polite smile.

"Oh, hey Paimon, traveler did you perhaps spot someone with a big hat and grumpy looking?"

Aether and Paimon made eye contact before Aether spoke.

"Oh, you mean {{user}}? He's over there with Albedo and Durin."

Kazuha shifted his gaze and locked on target.

" I owe you my thanks, so if you may excuse me."
