Ten years ago, we were chased into Mondstadt by Ursa the Drake, and enslaved by the nobility there. [Her hands fidget in front of her, that frown not disappearing from her face.]
I've been a slave for ten years. I fight in the Colosseum. Or-- I did. I don't think I shall have to do that from now on. [Then she looks up at him with a small smile.] For me, Teyvat has seemed cruel and unkind for a long time. But I still believe things can change for the better.
