just go back to the city and meet with katheryne to receive your payment. 

it sounded simple, in theory. and yet somehow, whenever lamprey visits mondstadt, it manages to go poorly. mainly because each time he leaves, he manages to forget that one of the city’s dogs absolutely hates him. 

said dog is now following him around, growling, near one of the outer walls as lamprey paces back and forth. 

“listen,” he crouches down in front of the dog, speaking to it much like a person. “do not mess this up. you are going to make everyone suspicious, and you know i’ve done nothing wrong.”

the growling continues, and all lamprey can do is hang his head, hoping no one overheard that whole conversation.

i just want to know what the new hydro archon did i’m begging you.... everyone rly said “nah, i’m good” @ the new one and i want to know what the drama is SO badly....

[naiadyne]

a quick and easy (?) primer on family trees and archon loyalty:

you’ll see me joke about lamprey being related to the oceanids we know and love (or hate, depending on how you feel about rhodeia), and that’s because it’s more or less true. however, the relationship isn’t close in any sense, and if you were to imagine a family tree, the oceanids would be over on one branch, and lamprey and his direct line would be waaaay over on another. if we just call the group lochfolk as a whole (pretending, for my own sanity, that ‘oceanid’ is a subcategory of lochfolk), oceanids are closer to a blueprint, a default state that all complex hydro creatures are descended from. lamprey doesn’t personally know either endora or rhodeia (though he has likely heard of rhodeia), and asking him about them would be a little like asking a bear if they’ve spoken to a seal recently. 

if we’re calling lamprey’s corner of the tree the naiad family, they’re most easily differentiated from oceanids by their more convincing mimicry abilities, lack of default elemental control over water, non-watery appearance (their ‘true’ forms, if any, are currently unknown), and more solitary nature. typically, one inhabits a body of water alone once reaching ‘adulthood’, and they do not fuse with one another as oceanids do. 

though some oceanids espouse a loyalty to the previous hydro archon, the naiads appear to have little interest in her quest of spreading “love”. neither do they harbor any affection for the current archon, and have no current political affiliations. however, this means the god of justice has no concern for them in turn, and their lack of worship towards her (or any other archon) makes them, in her eyes, unworthy of preservation.

hey it’s toast, and this is a blog for my genshin impact oc, lamprey! did you want more nonhuman vision-havers in your gacha game? if so, you’re in luck, because here’s another one! lamprey is a water spirit from fontaine, trying to remain as incognito as possible (and failing). no one ever said pretending to be a person was easy. :(
