Princeps Cretaceus Chapter I: Traveler Observation Report
Lumine and her companion Paimon meet Albedo’s assistant near the crafting bench. She tells them that the Traveler could help Albedo with his research, which he has seemed unusually troubled as of late. Lumine decides to take upon that request. Albedo spends his time mostly on Dragonspine, as there is his camp where he researches alchemy and that’s where Lumine is headed. On the road Lumine finds Rosaria who is willing to help the former to track Albedo, the former for her personal reasons. During that time Rosaria also explains that Albedo would hang around anywhere with a good landscape, because he apparently loves painting. They find him while he is drawing near the hilichurls. The monsters become alarmed and the Traveler needs to fight them off. After defeating them Albedo approaches Rosaria, Lumine and Paimon, the former dissatisfied with the fact that the monsters were scared off. It turns out that he was painting one of the hilichurls, but fortunately the painting was finished. He starts explaining about alchemy just as Rosaria leaves, apparently bored of his impending thesis. Albedo then recognizes Lumine as the Honorary Knight and concludes that her unique abilities must mean she comes from another world. He wishes to perform an experiment to see how life functions in the worlds outside Teyvat having acquired a sample and promising to compensate her for their participation and ensuring that it will be as safe as possible. In the distance, Rosaria is spying on the two, stating that “they seem to have hit it off”. She is also wondering if Albedo is a risk to Mondstadt.

After an initial test against some slimes, Albedo asks Lumine to drink a potion that extracts elemental power. He assures that in case of something unexpected, he has prepared the safe measures. They walk towards the camp while finding an additional ingredient needed for a potion. In Albedo’s camp there is also Timaeus – Albedo’s assistant who is helping his master with the research. Albedo prepares the potion and drinks a bit of it to ensure it’s safe, then he gives it to Lumine. Paimon asks how is it, Lumine answers that it's bitter, and that she's surprised Albedo drank that himself beforehand. Albedo says that such taste was expected, and that the result is positive. Paimon is shocked that Albedo knew that he'd be sick and still drank it, and Albedo replies that it's only natural for him to be the guinea pig for the concoction, since it was made by him. Lumine is still confused by the fact that Albedo took the risk, but Albedo simply states that endangering his assistant would be a wrong thing to do. Albedo states that by her reaction to the potion Lumine should be no different from other human beings in Teyvat. He explains that it’s a positive outcome, because those that are not ordinary are not easily understood or empathised. Lumine believes there must be another layer to his words. Albedo states that going forward Lumine can use her elemental power without worries.

During the next test, Albedo asks Lumine questions regarding any other possible abilities. After unsuccessful attempts at trying to break a piller with her mind, Albedo asks her to channel elemental energy into ingredients and make a dish. Paimon states that he must be just hungry. After preparing a meal, it turns out that she was unable to channel the elemental energy, however the meal is nonetheless delicious. He wonders whether the laws of the world are limiting Lumine’s abilities somehow. Albedo gives portion of the food for Paimon as he promised earlier. Paimon is rejoiced that he remembered to do that. Lumine states that he must be Paimon’s new favorite. Albedo says that he can tell the two of them are good friends, because Paimon was keeping an eye on her during the experiments. Paimon asks whether Albedo has friends or good students. Albedo seems troubled by this question. He simply agrees, but he moves away from this topic by going to the next test. He asks her to locate his lost items that are somewhere in his camp. Lumine uses the elemental sight to do that. Albedo thanks her for finding the items. Elemental sight is a rare ability but still seen in Teyvat, which doesn’t benefit his research. Albedo states that from now on he is going to focus on Lumine’s identity as one of the habitats of Teyvat. He asks her whether she can see Sucrose from a long distance, which she does not. After that they move onto a next experiment.

Fanon
A lot of Lumine and Albedo's interaction can be interpreted as romantic; one such example is when in the teapot Lumine can ask Albedo "Is there anything else you're interested in?" In response he says "Probably you". Albedo then goes onto explain that; "at first it was because you carried the aura of the stars." "But now.. it seems that there's more to it." This can be interpreted as Albedo telling Lumine that at first his attraction towards her was purely scientific, but now it may be romantic. Albedo then goes onto wonder why feels the way he feels about the traveler. Overall, the interaction between Lumine and Albedo in the teapot is usually interpreted as romantic by Albelumi shippers.
