[ To be clear, this was not Jean's idea. Not that she would admit it to the locals, but the only reason she'd been temporarily exiled come to Inazuma in the first place was because she tried to sneak back in and get the tiniest bit of work done when her colleagues had insisted she take a day off.

That was how one day became two entire excruciating weeks away, and honestly, the whole thing feels a little punitive. Surely the amount of work that's going to be waiting for her when she gets back will negate any relaxing effects that this trip could possibly have, right? Such was her argument, but Lisa had gone all the way to Liyue Harbor to personally see her get on the boat to Inazuma, which also felt a little excessive.

At any rate, she's here now, and of course she sent a letter to the Tri-Commissions in advance of her arrival, hoping not to cause too much of a stir. Though, it seems that someone has still been assigned to guide her, or possibly to make sure she doesn't cause trouble for anyone, or... steal state secrets, or something like that.

Laughing sheepishly, she bows in the custom of the Inazumans and hopes it doesn't look too awkward. ]


Thank you for the warm welcome. I wasn't expecting any kind of special treatment-- [ She had, in fact, rather been dreading it. ] -- so please, don't inconvenience yourself on my behalf.

But... if your lord insists then I suppose I can't really turn you down.

[ He's just doing his job after all, and it would be impolite to refuse their hospitality. Just because she's not here in an official capacity, it doesn't mean that she has the luxury of being completely at ease. She represents Mondstadt no matter where she goes. ]
