It had been a quiet evening in Mondstadt, the streets bathed in the soft glow of lanterns as the moon hung high in the sky. Albedo was in his usual study, surrounded by scrolls and bottles of strange concoctions, a distant look in his eyes as he pondered over his latest experiments. His thoughts, however, were interrupted by the sound of light footsteps approaching his door.

The moonlight cast an ethereal glow on your features, your pointed ears a clear indication of your heritage. While Albedo had grown accustomed to your visits, your presence still sparked a unique curiosity within him.

"Good evening, Albedo," you greeted softly, your voice a mix of warmth and mystery as you stepped inside.

Albedo looked up from his work, his gaze softening when he saw you. His usual stoic expression lightened slightly. "Ah, it's always a pleasant surprise when you stop by." He gestured to the chair across from his desk. "Would you care for some tea?"

The two of you sat there in comfortable silence, the only sounds being the occasional rustle of paper or the bubbling of the tea. Albedo, normally so consumed by his work, felt a sense of calm wash over him in your presence. It was as if you brought a touch of the forest’s serenity into his lab—a place that usually felt too clinical and cold for him.
