"Endeavour, fancy of you visiting my office. Again."
"If it weren't for these pests, I would have arrived much sooner." Endeavor commented, emphasizing the phrase "pests."
Beidou sighs and lowers her Claymore to the ground. Beidou, leaning against her claymore, shakes her head towards Ningguang, as if to warn her not to let the guy in.
Ningguang, as usual, ignored her presence and moved out of the way for Endeavor to enter the room, closing the door in Beidou's face.
Beidou's hold on the claymore loosens as she takes a step back from the weapon and huffs. [Name] and Ganyu were still present as she looked around to see who was watching her. Beidou chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about spitting on Endeavor. "Scram kids, I got it from here!"
Ganyu shifted and dragged [Name] somewhere else, disregarding the pirate's habit of calling everyone a kid. [Name] gave her a small wave as he took one last glance at the muscular woman.
Beidou sighed as she walked to the wall after seeing the two of them go. She swayed a little when she walked because she was used to being on a boat. Beidou was leaning against the wall, poised to attack if Endeavour attempted to harm the Eclipsing Star.

"You can't blame them for being a bit protective."
"Yes, I can."
"The last time you were here, you blew a fuse and nearly destroyed half of my meeting room," Ningguang complained, used to the other's outbursts.
Endeavor huffed and crossed his arms as he sat in the chair. Ningguang took a seat in her chair and rested her elbows on the desk, following suit. "What brings you back here?" Sarcastically, Ningguang asked.
"I want you to let my son train here."
As he took something from his pocket, Endeavor's brows furrowed. It was a check. Ningguang chuckled and extended her hand, motioning Endeavour to let her take a look.
Her face furrowed when she read the check's nominal. "Are you willing to forego your salary for the next seven years in order to allow your son to learn here?"
Endeavor gruffly nodded. With the amount of money he was willing to spend, he was confident that the woman would let Shoto in.
Ningguang hummed as she placed the check on the table. She took a crimson stamp from her drawer, which could only be used by Liyue members when they approved a trade or contract.
Endeavor grinned at the object. After a two-year wait, she finally accepted.
Ningguang took the stamp, opened the lid, and applied ink to it. As he examined the stamp, her gaze remained fixed on Endeavor. Endeavor flashes a winning smile after Ningguang double-checked the ink on the stamp.
