(Also this was from like a month or so ago)
Genshin Impact x INUYASHA X-over Zhongli's POV
Zhongli first sees her when Osial begins his attack on Liyue Harbor.
She's ushering a group of children into the Ministry of Civil Affairs building, yelling out orders to the other civilians. The Millelith nearby seem quite confused by her presence, each of them sharing glances amongst each other. He retreats further under the veranda while he continues to watch, intrigued by how the soldiers begin to defer to her orders. It's clear this isn't the first disaster she's been in nor does she have any problem taking lead.
Her stance holds true with each surge of water from the sea, never once faltering even as people rush past her.
Their eyes meet across the way, striking cerulean piercing straight through him like a freshly sharpened spear. She has a ferocity that hides in the furrow of her brow, the uptick of her chin, that speaks of a readiness to become as lethal as need be at a moment's notice. He dips his head in acknowledgement, gaze never straying from hers and feels a thrill go through him when hers falls straight to where his gnosis is hidden. It's instinctual, the way he knows that is what she is looking at.
And yet...
She turns away from him, the brief moment they shared there and gone, the momentum of her orders never having slowed once.
By the time the battle has ended and his appointment to the Northland bank draws near, he has lost sight of her.
When Lumine steps into the lobby, it occurs to Zhongli that what caught his attention was the same yet different sense of 'other' that came off the unknown woman.
Interesting.

I kind of imagine with this piece the inner thoughts of what each character would think when they first see her or how others react to her.
