"I call this baby my Polar Star! Great, eh? Got it made especially for me! Now bring it!"
He used his teeth to pull the string, while he fended you off from all directions with his frozen polearm.
He really was a quite formidable opponent.
You found it hard to steer clear of his raging polearm and to dodge the arrows simultaenously.
"Haha! You looked so confident a while! That scared, scared face of yours makes me even more determined to win...!"
You smirked.
"Bring it on-"
A flash blinded you for a second.
"Ajax!"
Once the dust settled, you looked around frantically, before settling your eyes on Ajax's...dead body?!
"WHAT IN TEYVAT'S SEVEN NATIONS-!"
"Relax, pretty girl. He's not dead."
A small figure appeared.
He gave a little smirk, before flicking his hat up.
You recognised him straight away.
Purple hair, large sombrero, tiny...
"Master Scaramouche?!"
...
"Been a while, precious...".
He looked down at Ajax's body.
"Oh. What a shame. That was an accident."
"DID YOU KILL AJAX-?!" You screamed down at him.
"I already told you, he's not dead."
"BUT-"
"Sharkur! Take Master Tartaglia away...".
"Of course, sir..".
The subordinate, supposedly named Sharkur, accompanied by another man, took Ajax away.
You were still in shock.
"Weren't you Tartaglia's damned little lady who ruined all the Tsaritsa's plans in Liyue and took over? Huh, you've grown a little taller."
"Can't say much for yourself."
"You little rat."
"Not so little compared to you."
You smiled, folding your arms. You loved teasing him about his height.
"Ugh! Forget it! I wanted to have a talk with you."
...
You sat down in the medical bay, swinging your legs.
"You could have just called out instead of hitting us with an electric shock...".
"Sorry. Thought I'd give myself a bit of an entrance. I still hate your guts, but yaknow, your skills ain't half bad....".
He looked in your direction.
"You're gonna get in hella trouble if the Tsaritsa finds out you're here without her knowledge. Especially after that stunt you pulled in Liyue."
"Really? I can't just stay here?".
"Of course not. We don't know whether the Tsaritsa hates your guts or not. I say, go pay her a friendly visit. If you feel suddenly uncomfortable in her presence, run for it."
You nodded, smacking your lips.
"Good idea."
Scaramouche smiled at you.
