[ Ori isn't accustomed to being casually approached; usually, she's the one doing the approaching to help people, or travelers seek her out for assistance. She's startled when someone greets her and her head snaps up to find— Ganyu, the emissary to the Liyue Qixing standing before her. Immediately, she scrambles to stand up and quickly bow her head at Ganyu in greeting. ]
G—Good afternoon! Yes, I was quite comfortable, but—!
[ Ganyu gets a few slow blinks from Ori in response, like she can hardly believe that someone like Ganyu wants to join her randomly? ]
... Oh! Um, yes, of course!
[ She, of course, knows that the emissary to the Qixing must have quite the schedule, so Ori steps back and gestures for Ganyu to take a spot - a break like this must be incredibly rare to come by. ]
Please, go ahead. It would be my pleasure to have your company.
[ She watches Ganyu take her seat curiously; she's never had much interaction with other adepti, let alone those who are more intimately involved with the affairs of Liyue Harbor. ]
I, um... yes!
[ Ori nods enthusiastically. Despite knowing that she is one, by nature, she sometimes struggles to call herself an adeptus; the label carries with it so much weight and gravitas and commands such respect that she can hardly believe she would deserve. ]
[ well, that's fair. ganyu can't really relate because she has a terrible need to make sure everything in the city is going accordingly, even if she does desperately need a vacation. ]

How may I help you today...?

[ she doesn't add that she wants to take a nap, since then ori might just get up and leave?
... yes, that would be the preferable outcome for napping, but ganyu is too polite for that, so this is still fine. ]

[ she will sit down... makes herself comfortable...

and then peer at her. ]
You're an adeptus?
[ she has never met her. ]

Have you never been to the harbor then?

To Ganyu's question, Ori gives a quiet laugh and rubs at the back of her head. ]
Well... I have, but not for some time now. I send rare herbs to Bubu pharmacy sometimes, but nowadays I just send an animal messenger to do that...
[ Not because she's lazy! It's just more convenient! ]
