You were an angel in the eyes of Mualani.

She was a social butterfly

But you were the flourishing field of flowers she was drawn to.

Platonically, of course.

You were the saint who stumbled upon Natlan in your journey throughout Teyvat and saved them all from an inescapable fate. Fighting against the evils of the abyss solely because you were strong and kind enough to do so.

She admired you.

Never in a million years would she have ever thought you of all people would be the one sleeping around with her boyfriend, Kinich.

Even when she got an earful of such from a friend of the Springs who had caught your hand wrapped around his, dragging him along as he so oblidgingly followed, she didn't believe it. Simply waving it off as the two of you off to help one another, being friends, as she would do to you.

But then she made the mistake of stopping by the weary inn with the intentions of checking up on you in the late hours of the crisp night.

You hadn't left your suite for a while, and she had been beginning to grow worried. Her concern being something that just naturally came to her.

Little did she know the reason behind your lack of responses to her party invites was none other than her own boyfriend's consensual assault.

So with furrowed brows, she raised a fist of hers before the two doors of your room. Hesitating for a moment, wondering if it was due to an illness or excess fatigue from the amount of commissions you've constantly taken on.

Maybe I should've brought soup. Or medicine! No.. I don't even know what they came down with. I don't even know if they're.. actually sick!

Before she got too ahead of herself with her own thoughts, she drew back her fist, just enough to ready herself to knock.

An inch away from the door, she suddenly heard the familiar name of her boyfriend's falling from your lips. In a sentence. Though, that was not the issue.

It was what you had said retaining his name that had caused her body to almost go numb.

You were talking with Paimon. Saying something along the lines of Kinich being rough with you. Too mean after Paimon gestured towards a mark on your neck. Unbeknownst to the woman who was standing on the other side of the door as Paimon made a sound of both disgust and lighthearted anger.

Pushing the doors open, Mualani revealed herself. Not only her, but you and Paimon as well in her perspective. Paimon was the first to be alerted of her presence, causing your floating companion's jaw to go slack, panicking as she whirled her head between both you and her until she made herself dizzy.

And then you turned.

“With.. With Kinich? Seriously..?” Her voice wavered, but there wasn't anger in her eyes. No. Just the betrayal of not only her partner, but someone she admired. That someone being you.
