Summary
“You’re quite the dancer, little Alchemist.”
It’s not a spark that runs through Albedo, but rather a slow, careful warmth. Albedo closes his eyes. “For a supposed diplomat, you’re rather forgetful,” he responds. “I am no Alchemist—remember?”
Albedo feels Kaeya’s the vibration of Kaeya’s chest under the touch of his palm before he hears his laughter. “Right,” he says. “Of course. How… careless of me.”
(Or: Albedo and Kaeya pose as Fatui diplomats in a Snezhnayan ball.)

Summary
“Curious… You bear a mark of Khaenri’ah and yet you say you’re only curious. How should I believe you.”
“I mean you no harm. If you want you never have to talk to me again. To be perfectly honest, I was hoping to speak to you about anything you want just to satisfy my curiosity.”
Underneath the anxiety swelling in his chest, Kaeya can’t deny this other boy has struck his curiosity as well. A strange boy that no one knows anything about coming to live with Mondstadt’s resident witch. And now Kaeya knows he’s somehow connected to Khaenri’ah just like him.
Kaeya sighs, “What’s your name?”
The boy stretches his hand out towards Kaeya. “Albedo. My name is Albedo.”
Or: Albedo is left in Mondstadt as a child. Him and Kaeya grow together over the years

Summary
Couples already begin to shuffle into the square, standing in front of each other with their hands clasped together. Each pair begins to twirl, with smiles and laughter and singing. The sight used to fill Kaeya with bitterness. How embarrassing to do that in front of everyone. How shameful! Sure, he’d participated in plenty of drunken dances with lovely ladies and gentlemen, but it was never anything special or genuine. No eye contact, just practiced movements to get whatever he wanted, whether that was more drink, information, or a distraction in the form of physical touch.
Everything was very different now, though. Very different.
