The mines, once boarded up and abandoned, have been opened back up to any would-be spelunkers to venture into in the hopes of finding gems and treasures aplenty. It is said that these mines burrow deep into the depths of the mountain and no one can tell you exactly how deep they go, but if you're feeling lucky, grab a pickaxe on your way in and find out for yourself.

Never would've expected to run across you here.

[ Putting on the airs of someone none the wiser, Childe approaches, hand caught up in a wave. Openly baiting a reaction, he's more than a little senseless with these slights, and far too callous for good humor.

But he's suffered the aimlessness of these past two months, and all of this leisure has hollowed him out plenty. Childe lacks any discretion, beckoning between the mine shaft's entrance and Yelan with interest that he doesn't disguise. If nothing else, she should prove to be more enthralling than the wet blanket that was Diluc. ]

May as well brave it together, right?

[ yelan smiles back but whether that's out of amusement at seeing tartaglia or something else, it's hard to tell. ]

Well, well, well.

[ he's the last face she's expecting to see in this place but a familiar face is a familiar face either way. they're also not in liyue and she's currently not on duty, so there shouldn't be any reason for hostility, right? right. that's, of course, up to him if he'd also share such a sentiment.

she walks up to the mine entrance like she does something like this on a regular basis. ]

You come here often?

Is that how it looks?

[ Like carelessness could even fill his throat, he's braving her ire or lack thereof. Glib, he comes into immediate range. All the while, there's still that space separating them, when he's brazen but not brazen enough to stray too close. ]

Haha, not quite. But if we're headed the same way, shouldn't we split the difference? [ Childe sweeps a hand out, overly flippant. After you, miss? ] Unless you're opposed to that.

I don't see any reason why. You don't seem like the kind of guy who would cheat me out of my winnings.

[ and she's not in a gambling mood just yet, though give it time and then perhaps her mind will change with a roll of the dice. she doesn't think he'll disappoint her in that regard, not with what she knows of him.

yelan indulges him with a wave of her hand, moving past him and right into the maw of the unknown while ensuring he's still within her range.

offhandedly: ] Where do these mines lead to?

[ Two bow users, going into the mines... I hope they weren't planning on gathering ores, since it seems neither of them picked up a pickaxe at the entrance.

The entrance floor is very uneventful. It's very much like the top picture on the post where it's well lit with cart tracks... until the end of that floor to descend into the real first floor of the mines. It's pitch black here. Do they venture carefully or run? ]

[ Overconfidence assures that he won't grab a pickaxe, but he did have the foresight to fetch a lantern for the trip. It's nothing nearly as good as Diluc's flames though, the light so weak and petering. ]

That's what I'd like to find out myself! [ Alas, he was blown out last time before any real conclusions could be drawn. ] Doesn't seem like you can venture past a certain point.

[ Kind of like the Chasm that way, all towering boulders and enchantments that rot the mind. No antics from Tartaglia, this time. Venturing in carefully, he shines the bright wick of the lantern all along the walls, light distortions bouncing where the shadows run deepest. ]

I decided I'd try my luck again. If worse comes to worst... well, who knows? Maybe you'll get that answer sooner than you think.

[ yelan too doesn't see the point in rushing through this place recklessly, not when neither of them knows what to expect at the end of the tunnel.

the light from the lantern is dimmer than what she would've liked, but her eyes easily adjust to their dismal surroundings and she ensures every step she makes is steady and rooted. not at all different from the chasm, really. the only thing missing is the light from the lumenstone, but even that can go out anytime. ]

If worse comes to worst ... [ ah, but isn't that what makes this quite thrilling? she keeps a mild tone. ] Then let's hope you're not too heavy to drag along, Mr Harbinger.

[ Perhaps it's because they're here for the thrill(?), but the first floor, and even the second floor seems extremely uneventful. However, the third floor of the mines seem to be a steeper drop. Everything seems alright, but then... there are a pair of green glowing eyes ahead of them, staring at the two "visitors". ]

[ To that remark, he only smiles, wide and severe, and continues on. Just try to drag him around by the throat.

More than once does Tartaglia stall to glance about, since he hadn't made it anywhere remotely this deep on his initial run. Braving the sick drop from the second to the third floor, he stops some distance away from that neon-eyed party-crasher. ]

Are we intruding? [ Tartaglia's friendly, even if he doesn't come in peace, fingers flicked out at one side like he's testing the depth of his own reach. ] I don't mean to cause any trouble! Not on purpose, anyways.

[ As if he'll vouchsafe for Yelan, should this creature steps forth with unveiled threats of violence. If it comes down to it, she's on her own. ]
