[ Neuvillette likewise steers his gaze upwards, concern rising in his stomach when his ears register the creaking sound, faint but loud enough to set him somewhat on edge. The cabin must have been built to last harsh weather, surely, but what if today will be the day the wood begins to splinter under the weight of ice and snow? Few buildings can truly stand the test of time and he does not know how old this particular cabin is. ]

I don't know about the others, but Lady Furina mentioned that she would be lodging in Qingce Village. She's probably satisfying her sweet tooth with local delicacies at this very moment.

[ Neuvillette really wishes he was in Qingce right now, by her side where he belongs. He has only seen illustrations of the terraced fields of flowers there, but he imagines that mere drawings do not accurately convey their beauty and would like to see them with his own eyes. Qingce also has the best water in all of Liyue... though, to be fair, the bar isn't exactly high when most water from south of Bishui Plain has an unpleasant aftertaste of metals and sulfuric acid caused by all the mining in the region. The closer to the Chasm, the worse the water tastes. Another thing to judge Morax for, in the highly unlikely event of his full power returning to him.

Once they get out of here, he will be giving that bard some stern words about his poor choice of lodging. If Wangshu Inn was fully booked, why not arrange lodgings for all of them in Qingce instead of separating them? The village is a retirement spot for the elderly, surely there's plenty of room for a group. But he'll think about what he's going to say to Venti later; he has more important things to deal with right now. ]

...If the idea does not make you uncomfortable, we should share the bed. Two bodies will conserve heat more than one.
