Climbing Mt. Shenhe

It was supposed to be a simple investigation. Follow some treasure hoarders here, interrogate said treasure hoarders there, in and out.

And it was simple, until one treasure hoarder, in particular, got a lucky hit, smashing a glass bottle full of some elemental power on Yelan's face. Still winning the fight, her enemy never got to see the full effects of that one hit they got in, which of course ended up reducing Yelan's height... severely.

With nothing new but her diminished height, Yelan began the now very long trek back to Liyue Harbour for help. She'd been walking for hours, before the tremors of footsteps stopped her in her tracks.

A face Yelan had seen very few times soared overhead, the gigantic form of Shenhe rose above her like a tower. The woman was simply too large for Yelan to have missed, she'd thought she was going crazy. The sheer scale of the size difference between them made Yelan's confidence nearly shatter, feeling more like a bug than person at this moment. Sighing, knowing well this stoic woman was her best chance at recovery, Yelan began to quickly follow the giant as she continued to walk.

Keeping up with a behemoth like Shenhe was a struggling task, but eventually, the giantess had come to a halt. A rather sudden halt too, which caused Yelan to run face-first into Shenhe's heel.

Falling onto her back, A very tired Yelan slowly got up whilst Shenhe laid down, stripping her sore feet of their prisons, dropping her gigantic imposing soles in front of the bug-sized woman.

Yelan had a mere moment to dodge the descending bare heels of her only hope, just barely missed by the large feet of the even larger woman. Yelan stared up at Shenhe's feet with a gulp. She knew well that flesh contact would be her best chance at getting the giant's attention, but she couldn't help but be intimidated by the gigantic looming toes that hung above, softly wriggling in the cool breeze.

Beginning her climb, she would slowly punch, pinch and smack Shenhe's sole, hoping that the higher she'd climb the more likely shenhe was to feel it, but in reality the giant woman was simply taking it all in, enjoying the feeling of nature with her nulled emotions bringing her no attention to the presumed insect nipping at her foot, she almost managed a smile at the thought of some bug's fascination with her feet. It was going to be a long climb...
