Those Among Teyvat

SUMERU | First Meeting

[name] was excited since this allowed her to go sightseeing around Sumeru, something she had only done often whenever she had a lot of time, but being a student didn't allow her much. So, currently, she and a few students she had traveled with were in Port Ormos. They had all separated after some time, but they had agreed to meet back up in an hour or so.

Although the group she had gone with stayed on the ground floor, [name] decided to climb the slope upstairs where the bridges and hidden buildings were. Most students would choose the building at the end of the harbor as their inspiration and [name] couldn't blame them, but [name] had found her inspiration the moment she stepped into Port Ormos.

There was a bridge, one that she had seen many times upon entering the port. Her gaze was always stuck on its design until she was pulled away, but this time, she didn't have to worry. There were a few people on the bridge she stood on to gaze at the one opposite of it, but she didn't mind.

"Can't use that...hmm, but I definitely think..." She muttered to herself, something she did often while in thought. [name] held a small notepad, sketching out a basic design of a pattern that originated from the one on the bridge.

"Looking at the design of the bridge?" A voice broke through her thoughts, causing her to stop writing and speaking altogether, "a bit of a mess, don't you think so?"

[name] blinked, turning her head to the left towards the blond man who commented on the bridge with his arms crossed. He didn't exactly look at her, but his eyes were narrowed and his brows were furrowed. [name] looked back at the bridge and the corners of her lips tugged down.

"Well, a mess, maybe," she murmured which, [name] didn't notice this, but the blond male grimaced with a smile, "but I think it's a...organized mess. If that makes sense."

[name] glanced down at her design, then back to the bridge, "it might look like a mess to some people, but the architect who made this knew what they were doing. This is the first thing you see at Port Ormos, it's nice and eye-catching."

[name] couldn't help but feel a bit miffed that someone would call the inspiration she chose for her project as a 'mess', but she couldn't change the opinions of others. The [h/c]-haired girl turned her attention back to the man to find him staring at her with a wide-eyed look, which she cocked her head at.

Her confusion was heightened when the man started to chuckle and shook his head, "no, no, sorry, you're right... You're a Kshahrewar student, right? I remember doing the exact same thing at the end of my year..."

[name] nodded slowly, closing her notepad slowly, "yep. I'm [name], decided to use that bridge as my inspiration, so I hope I don't hear you talk down on it again," she said this in a so in a matter of fact way, that he couldn't help but laugh again as if he knew something she didn't.

"Kaveh. Nice to meet you, [name]."

WANDERER

[name] sighed, her mind drifting off elsewhere as the three students in front of her tried to hold a one-sided conversation with her, only growing more and more irate as she continued to simply dismiss them.

"You know what? This is the problem with you. You never communicate with us and always do what you want," the blonde one on the left huffed, throwing her hand off in the air in an aggravated way. [name]'s [e/c] eyes, which were gazing off to the side, came to focus on her now with a blank look.

"Is that right?"

"And you always make us present the work while you just stand there in class!" The student in the center grumbled as he crossed his arms. That wasn't necessarily a lie, but [name] would always create the model and gather the information for the presentation so she didn't have to be the one to speak in front of the class.
