Kaeya leaned out of the window of his office to observe only the most bizarre training he had ever seen. And sadly, it was not the first time he was watching the scene below.
There was Ellin talking with the Traveler. He could hear Ellin asking the Honorary knight to break the wooden dummies in one fell swoop. This time the dummies were arranged in a half circle.
The traveler studied the position of the dummies before taking a position. With a shout of "Quake!" the Honorary Knight shook the ground causing a localized earthquake with geo spikes remaining in the ground and the dummies all fell. The Traveler had totally nailed it. As usual. And apparently just came from Liyue.
"Nailed it!" the girl jumped delightedly. "I never thought of trying that… Thanks! I'm gonna try it myself now."
The Captain was ready to bet anything that the Traveler was puzzling out the mechanics of Ellin's attempt to do the same attack without a vision as they have never seen what Ellin did after the demonstrations.
"Not bad, Traveler," the Captain applauded from the window causing both to look up, Ellin immediately stammering a greeting with the Traveler serenely waving at him. "Come up to my office next, Traveler. There's something I might need your expertise in."
The Captain stepped back to his table leaving the window open, well aware of Traveler's dislike of all stairs. As it was explained to him with Paimon's help – the Traveler preferred speed. The faster way to get to their destination, the better.
And as he had expected not a minute later the Traveler climbed up into his office through the window.
"Ah, welcome Traveler," the man offered his greetings, leaning on his table. As Paimon immediately showed up he greeted her as well. "Paimon as well."
"Good to see you, Captain Kaeya!" the little floating fairy waved her hand as the Traveler nodded in agreement. "So, what was it that you wanted our expertise in?"
"I wanted to ask if you had ever seen Ellin do the same maneuver after you showed it to her?" Kaeya motioned with his hand at the window. The pair of outlanders shook their heads. "I highly recommend it."
The Traveler glanced at their companion, brows furrowed. They then glanced at the Captain but it is hard to figure out Kaeya's facial expression on a good day. The Traveler followed by Paimon edged to the window and looked out. Ellin had just finished setting the dummies back again and was standing closer to them, eyes closed in concentration. She then opened them and stomped her leg with a shout of "Quake!"
Nothing had happened.
The traveler looked back at Kaeya arching an eyebrow.
"This is what you wanted us to see?" questioned Paimon, but Kaeya only waved at them to keep watching. Ellin tried again and again. But then there was something, and…
…Ellin didn't disappoint.
All the dummies were broken, there were no remnants of geo spikes in the ground.
"How?' the pair shouted in disbelief. Paimon continued to add on to the question." But she doesn't have a geo vision. She doesn't have a vision at all. Oh, Paimon is confused! How did she manage it?"
"Nobody knows," Kaeya threw up his hands before putting them on his chest. "And apparently it will remain a secret."
