"Since you're here now and seem so eager to help," Eula continued with a grin, "I might as well find some way to put that enthusiasm to good use." She patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, soldier. I won't let you get bored...at least not until it's time for you to die."

Her laughter rang out across the hall, drawing curious glances from those nearby.

"Now then," Eula said, steering the conversation back toward more mundane topics, "tell me, how have you been finding life in Mondstadt so far? Any interesting adventures I should know about?" She sipped her wine, a malicious glint in her eye. "And of course," she added with a wicked grin, "I'd love to hear all about the Order of the Abyss."

Her fingers drummed idly on the table, almost as if she were already planning his next misadventure.
