Super Rescue

Amber trialed two Hydros to the base to see if they would act the same as Furina. The first one observed the area. "Not bad, you guys are clean, it does smell good, and you guys are dressed well, pity about your faces though" she said. "Excuse me, you just gave us simple compliments then ended it off with an insult!" said Xiangling furiously. "That's because you Pyros spoil our image" said the Hydro. "Of course we do, we show what frauds you are!" replied Hu Tao. "Don't get mad because it's true" finished the Hydro. "Shut up Yelan, have some respect for them, they've been through too much already to deal with your nonsense!" snapped the second Hydro. "Listen, Xingqiu, everyone knows that Hydros are the next new thing, Pyros are being used less and less, and eventually they'll be forgotten about, we'll still be here" said Yelan. Xiangling and Hu Tao were reaching their boiling points. "Yelan, stop saying stuff like that, you know that's not true!" said Xingqiu. "Well it is what it is" she said before leaving to do her job. Xiangling and Hu Tao were so angry that they couldn't speak, and smoke was coming out of their ears and noses. "I'm terribly sorry for what Yelan said to you two, she's just proud of being a Hydro and sometimes her high opinion of herself can make her very irritable" said Xingqiu apologetically. Hu Tao and Xiangling calmed down after hearing that. "Well at least one of them has some respect" they murmured before leaving for their jobs. When Xiangling came from the market with her groceries, she saw that Yelan was laying down on the ground in agony in front of Dori's doorstep. "Stupid thing tried to go back quickly, she tripped over a rock, and now says that her kneecap's broken, she's been annoying me for the past half hour, so just take ol' Screwloose away" she said. "Screwloose, but you must know that-" "Take her before I make her choke on my cat's hairballs!" Xiangling just smiled and gave the Hydro a piggyback ride. "Screwloose, ah what a fine nickname, Dori, well see you around" "It's not as fun as being called a lewd hothead" she mumbled under her breath. "I'll break your other kneecap and make you have prosthetics" "Yes ma'am, I'll stop talking" said Yelan. "So, did you deliver the groceries successfully?" asked Xiangling while straining a little. "Yes, but when I tried to run back, well you know, I became Screwloose, by the way, your face is becoming red, are you ok?" "Of course, I'm not having any trouble carrying a whole human on my back, plus having to carry groceries, it's never a strain" said the Pyro. "Said the same thing about those polearms and look where that got you" Yelan continued mumbling. "Listen, you do realize that I'm only doing this because I actually like helping people, it's not my strength, it's my dedication to this squad, and the many things I do are proof of that, I helped a girl escape from getting killed, and now that girl's one of my closest friends" Yelan remained silent. "And everyone always asks why I seem rude or aggressive, it's because it's something called tough love, I was raised in a Asian family, and I've learned many forms of discipline, so I try to work around those ways and set a good example for the people I care about" continued Xiangling. "And despite Klee and Hu Tao being a pain in the ass sometimes, especially Hu Tao, I still try to do my best just to make them happy" "Oh my god, Xiangling I never knew that you were this uh, what's the right word?" Yelan stated. "Complex, yeah but that's what you get, being a 23 year old who has to run her own restaurant, and doing this as a side job, sometimes, it's a bit too much, but I keep pushing myself to improve, and by improving, I get to do stuff like this!" Xiangling dropped Yelan and made it to the hideout just in time. "Oh my god, you actually did it, uh thanks" Yelan said quietly. "Speak up, I didn't hear you properly" "I said thanks, ok, but I really do appreciate what you did for me, Xiangling, you've set a good example for the kind of the person I wanna be" "Well, that's all I try to do, young Hydro, and I think Amber might be considering keeping you two here for a while, but that's just speculation" "I hope so too" added Yelan. "Alright, now that I had some time to relax, let's take you to the hospital to see about that knee" she said as she carried the Hydro on her back, and leaving Yelan with a brand new respect for Pyros.
