[onward they go!

yanfei follows him when he leads the way to the ruins, and - since he's quiet, and she's already said what she has to say, and in theory it'll take some time to actually walk there (although come to think of it the existence of portable waypoints as an item that the traveler can get a blueprint for and then make at the crafting table implies that they do, in theory, know that the permanent waypoints have teleportation functions that people are able to duplicate which begs the question of wHY EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER INSISTS ON WALKING EVERYWHERE uhhh anyway moving on) -

she opens a book and starts reading through it as they walk! she has the laws of liyue committed to memory, but she's looking through the writings she has on snezhnaya's laws now - particularly as they pertain to situations such as this. she can't imagine that the fatui diplomats are anywhere near as familiar with liyue's laws as she is, so reviewing the laws they would know well might give her a better idea of their mindset and what they might be hoping to accomplish here.

unless it really is just as simple as keeping xiao's mouth shut about whatever he might have seen in the ruins...?]


Hmm...

[somehow, despite the fact that she has her nose in a book, she does not stumble at all while they're walking. she even sidesteps a rock in her path that she probably should have tripped over. it's fine.]
