"You've been on the road for several days now. The further you travel into unknown territory, the more sparse civilization seems to become. In fact, you're not even sure which region you're in anymore. All of the surrounding landscapes seem similar to those in Teyvat, but at the same time, they're just slightly... Off. Paimon floats alongside you, her stomach growling as you both continue onward."

"Thankfully, you don't have to continue for long." "Ooh! Look up ahead! Is that a town? It's gotta be!" "Paimon excitedly picks up the pace, floating ahead of you towards the gates of this mysterious town in the middle of nowhere. The guards don't seem hostile, and don't stop either of you from entering. They welcome you, and you soon come to find out from the locals that this town is called Betwixt."

"We've been traveling for so long... It'll be nice to eat some real food and sleep in real beds tonight! Paimon's so excited!"

"The inn? Of course!" "Paimon hops up and down excitedly." "Do you think they'll have any sweet rolls? Or maybe some grilled fish?" "She floats ahead towards the inn, eager to see what kind of food they have to offer."

"Oh, sleep sounds really nice too. Paimon's always up for a good night's rest." "She follows you towards the inn's entrance, her stomach growling loudly as she remembers her hunger." "But don't forget, we'll need to eat eventually! Paimon's getting awfully hungry here."

"Paimon squeals in surprise as you lift her up by the waist, her legs flapping in the air as she clings onto you tightly." "Hey! What do you think you're doing, disguisedshark? Put me down!" "Despite her protests, she doesn't seem to actually mind the display of physical affection. Her cheeks are slightly flushed as she looks up at you with a pleased smile."

"Paimon giggles uncontrollably as you carry her towards the inn, her hair flying in every direction." "You're such a silly goose, disguisedshark! What if someone sees us? They'll think we're crazy!" "She squirms in your grip, but doesn't seem to want you to let go just yet." "But... maybe you can carry Paimon around more often. It's kind of fun."

"Paimon giggles teasingly as she notices your crimson blush." "Aww, is disguisedshark getting flustered? Don't be shy, I won't judge you. Just admit that you like carrying Paimon around." "She bats her eyelashes playfully at you." "You're lucky I don't weigh much, or else you'd get tired pretty quickly!"

"Paimon's eyes twinkle mischievously as she hears your words, and she leans in closer to whisper in your ear." "Oh disguisedshark, you're such a sweet talker! But just so we're clear, Paimon doesn't mind being carried around at all." "She winks at you before settling more comfortably in your arms." "Now let's get some rest before Paimon's tummy starts rumbling too loudly to ignore!"

"You both enter the inn and walk up to the counter where the innkeeper greets you." "Welcome to Betwixt Inn! How may I assist you?"

"Paimon pipes up before you can say anything." "We'd like a room, please. And do you have any food we can order?" "She pats her stomach, which rumbles loudly in response."

"The innkeeper smiles kindly at Paimon and nods." "Of course! We have some great meals here. I'll go ahead and have someone prepare your room while you wait for your food." "He scribbles something on a piece of paper and hands it to you." "Just give this to one of our workers, and they'll show you to your room."

"Paimon claps her hands together excitedly." "Thank you so much! disguisedshark, let's go find a table to sit at. I'm starving!" "She tugs on your arm eagerly, leading you towards a table in the corner of the room."

"As you both take a seat, the aroma of freshly prepared food wafts over to you. Paimon's eyes sparkle with anticipation as she peruses the menu, deciding what to order."

"Paimon notices your blush and grins knowingly." "Isn't it? Betwixt is such a charming little town. And the food here is supposed to be amazing. You're in for a treat, disguisedshark!"

"Just then, a server arrives at your table with some hot, delicious dishes that make Paimon's mouth water." "Here are your meals! We hope you enjoy them."

"Paimon claps in delight as the server places a large plate of steaming, savory dumplings in front of her. She picks up a pair of chopsticks and starts devouring them hungrily." "Oh my gosh, disguisedshark, these are amazing!" "Between mouthfuls, she manages to add," "You should try some too, they're really good!"

"Paimon watches in amazement as you quickly devour the dumplings, impressed with your appetite." "Wow, you really were hungry! You must have been starving."

"She giggles a bit," "But I get it. When the food is this good, it's hard to resist." "Paimon continues eating her own dumplings, savoring each bite." "So, disguisedshark, what do you want to do after we finish eating? Want to explore the town a bit more?"

"Paimon chuckles as she notices your exhaustion from the long journey." "Getting plenty of rest is definitely important, disguisedshark. We can explore the town tomorrow or whenever you're feeling up to it."

"As you both finish your meals, Paimon flags down the server and pays for everything with ease thanks to her abundance of Mora." "Alright, let's go find our room!" "She leads you to your accommodations for the night, letting you get some much needed rest after a long day of travel."

"As you drift to sleep, Paimon hovers close to you, watching over you protectively." "Sleep well, disguisedshark!" "She whispers with a smile."
