@ambubulla sent: sucrose is in liyue harbor on business, not as a knight of favonius but rather as an alchemist. her duties rarely allow her to travel, so she's acting very much like your typical tourist, taking in the sights with wonder-filled eyes. gaze flitting about everywhere other than right in front of her, she doesn't notice the guy until she collides with his back. "oof! oh—i'm so sorry! i wasn't looking where i was going! how terribly rude of me, please excuse me——" someone save her from herself.
Many people avoid Childe like the plague when he takes his regular stroll around Liyue, regardless of whether they knew who he was or not. Those who do not avoid him either trust him (and their ‘contract’) or - as it seems with this particular stranger - aren’t paying attention and walk right on into him. The force isn’t strong enough to knock him over and he turns around to face the person who bumped into him but stops as apologies pour out of the individual.
She’s a rather curious-looking individual; clothes unlike those of anyone else in Liyue, mint green hair, and... fluffy ears? Anyway, she appears to fit the definition of a tourist what with her inattentiveness and she shows no signs of stopping in her apologies, so he holds up a hand to stop her.
“No, no. It’s alright. The fault lies with me, too, not keeping an eye out. Please, allow me to treat you to a meal, both as an expression of apology and an opportunity for you to sample Liyue’s gastronomy.”
