Gallant Old Dendros

One day, some men came and observed the hideout at Sumeru, they had notepads, and wrote some stuff down, they would say, "No, we'll take this" or "No, we'll leave that there" Collei and Baizhu observed their every move. "You see this, men used to do that at our old location, then once those Hydros came around, it was, it was-" "Sold" finished Collei mournfully. Later that day, the two Dendros were feeling quite sad, this almost made Collei want to cry. "What's the matter with you two, you look like weeping willows" Nahida said. "We saw what those men were doing earlier, please Nahida, don't let them sell our place and then we have to move again" said the petrified Dendros. Nahida just smiled. "Oh, you silly young ones, they weren't selling anything, they were getting ready for our celebration today" Collei and Baizhu were both relived then confused. "Hallelujah, not going to be moving, not going to be moving!" Baizhu cheerfully sang. "I'm still confused, Nahida, what is this celebration about?" asked Collei. "Well, I've been talking with some local news stations and with the help of them, for our celebration, they'll be doing a broadcast all about our little place, that means we'll be on the television, isn't that great?" the Archon announced happily. "Oh, this is marvelous, now what do we need to do?" "Well I still need to set everything up, but you, Collei, I have a wonderful job for you, but I want it to be a surprise, so I won't tell it" whispered Nahida. "Uh, I think I don't feel well, so unfortunately, I won't be able to help, sorry" Baizhu said while lying between his teeth. "Very well, then, I'll let you rest after you get done doing all of your and Collei's jobs" Nahida said while winking at Collei. "Uh actually, sorry that I lied, what can I do instead" he asked embarrassingly. "That's what I thought, you'll be our background person, showing all the people about all the hard work we do, so technically you still have to do work, it's time that you start thinking for a change, Baizhu" said Nahida sternly. Collei laughed, while Baizhu just left and started to get ready. The time had finally came, the production team was setting up cameras everywhere, and the news anchor wanted to ask Collei something. "Now I hear from Nahida that you are a very hard worker, so would you do me the honor of having you as our spokesperson?" he asked. Collei couldn't contain her excitement. "Oh, yes sir, please, oh thank you, Nahida!" the young Dendro said. They gave Collei the signal that they were on the air. "Oh, we're on the air, yes!" she exclaimed but remembered to contain herself. "Hello all, this is Collei speaking and welcome to our little place in the lovely little town called Sumeru!" They followed Collei to where everything was. "First, we have the exterior of our base or hideout, it's quite simple, but we love it for that" "Then, we have the interior, which is decorated in lots of pictures and painting of beautiful grass landscapes, or just simple plant life" "As you can see, there's not much space in here, so that's why we have our tents, they're great to sleep in and have so much room for comfort" Collei kept moving, while sweating a little. "And then, over to the left, we have our loveable garden in which we grow the finest crops" Collei told Baizhu to show them how to pull the crops out the ground, he rolled his eyes and did it in disdain. "And over to the right, we had our lake, now unfortunately, we can't have any access to the water due to it being blocked off, I hope someone can reopen it one day, our crops need it" she said sadly. Then she came to where Nahida was at, the ol' Archon knew exactly what to say. "And finally, we have the Archon of Dendro herself, Nahida, now is there anything you would like to say to the people at home?" "Well, I'm grateful that we are lucky to have the chance for our place to be promoted, but since you surprised me, I shall surprise you too" she said while winking at the distance. "And what may that surprise be?" asked Collei. "Well that surprise is no other than my closest friend and long-time work colleague, Yaoyao, so get over here, you little dandelion!" she said proudly. Yaoyao waved at the cameras then gave Nahida a long hug. "Nice to have you back, my friend" Nahida whispered. "Yaoyao was been working with me for the longest time, and since she came here, she had to overcome many obstacles, but I think the best moment is when she brought out vegetables home during a dangerous storm, go on, tell them" assured Nahida. The cameras zoomed in just then. "Well it was quite difficult, to say the least, I was alone and all I had was a simple wagon, the rain was heavy, the wind was blowing harshly, the wagon was slowly getting heavier and heavier as time went on, that's when I pulled a muscle in my tendon, I was about to throw in the towel, but every wise Dendro knows when to put those things aside, so I went and brought those veggies back home" Yaoyao finished. Everyone was clapping for the Dendros, the news anchor said that this will a moment that he'll never forget. "Ah, I haven't felt that lively in years, that was so cool, and Collei, you were the perfect spokesperson" Then Nahida looked at Baizhu. "You were important too, Baizhu, don't worry" she said. Collei was flattered by Nahida and blushed. "Oh well, some people say that I'm incredibly talented" "But Yaoyao was the main selling point here, her story's one of a kind" Nahida praised. "But Yaoyao, it's really really nice having you back here, I missed you" she said while shedding some tears. "Come over here and give me a hug, you old sage!" said Yaoyao. The two hugged for a while. Collei and Baizhu just left the two Dendros alone so that they could finally reunite again. The Dendros had an after-party where some of the Pyros came. Hu Tao came and spoke to Collei. "You know, it's crazy how famous you guys have gotten since we first met you, this is technically my first time meeting all of you, but I've heard from Amber that someone named Kazuha would come and let you all have access to the water, or was it Kaeya, no, he was killed a while back" she said quietly while thinking. Collei's eyes became the widest that they've ever been. "Oh no, what are we gonna do, but Amber said, Nahida said that Kaveh would be here to give us access to the water, and he's been killed?!, oh dear, oh dear!" she said before quickly running back to her tent, leaving Hu Tao completely confused.
