❝these fatui agents sucks. can't even solve a single mission without their master's help.❞

"what am i supposed to do again?"
𝖘𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖈𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖆 𝖜𝖆𝖞 𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖗𝖔𝖔𝖒.
"but i like this room. it has a nice comfy bed, some nice paintings and even no one to disturb me!" [name] said, throwing a penny in the air just like kaeya taught her.

"yes."
meanwhile on the other side of the door, ekaterina stood behind it as she heard the female inside talking all 'alone'. weirded out by it, she decided to let the other fatui agents give the girl her food instead.
'i wonder why master bought that girl in..' the receptionist thought, going back into her usual place behind the counter.
"my bag... my precious bag is now taken by a ginger.." returning back into the room, the voice had just told [name] that the harbinger had taken away her bag filled with different types of poison and even her nichirin blade.
"he even took my hairclip away, what a--" before she could even continue, the door to her room suddenly opened as a familiar man came inside.
"glad to see you awake, girlie. thought i had hit you a little to hard back there," tartaglia said walking inside the room calmly and not even bothering to close the door shut.
rolling her eyes, [name] ignored the male as she tried to tie her hair using a ribbon that she had found inside one of the drawers. keyword: tried, she kept on struggling to tie it nicely.
unfortunately, the harbinger took this as an opportunity as he took the [f/c] ribbon out of hand before neatly tying it around her hair. she was suprised for a moment before letting him do it since she was clearly done on tying it herself.
after a few more seconds, tartaglia finally finished tying the ribbon on [name]'s hair succesfully. i guess having to tie his own sister's hair finally came into good use.
𝖒𝖔𝖛𝖊.
right as the voice said that, [name] immediately moved to the side succesfully avoiding the harbinger's water blade from impaling her on the spot.
"?!"
after noticing her moving to avoid the attack, tartaglia immediately prepared another one.
"my, i never knew you had fast reflexes. well then, amuse me."
𝖉𝖊𝖘𝖊𝖗𝖛𝖊𝖉. 𝖎 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖐?
"thats what he gets for locking me up inside that stupid room for a whole day, and he even forgot about the promise he made to buy me some grilled tiger fish!" you said, waiting for your order.
after beating tartaglia in a fight by using your anemo powers, you simply left him inside the room in pain. not that you cared though. oh, and you actually found all of your stuffs neatly placed inside one of the offices which you guessed was tartaglia's.
both you and the voice decided that the harbinger was a waste of time and instead focused on the rite of parting which would happen in a few days. since both aether and paimon still haven't arrived at liyue, you guessed that you'll be doing it all by yourself again.
sighing, you decided to not think more further since it hurted your brain. not only that, the voice became even more annoying than before to the point you just wanted to mute it.
"here you go, miss. one grilled tiger fish!" a familiar voice then breaks you out of your thought as your face turn to meet xiangling.
the girl was always active and liked adventuring the forests in monstadt and sometimes the mountains in liyue just to find the perfect 'ingredient' for her new dish.
glancing at the steamy meal in front of you, you couldn't help but drool slightly at the sight of it. true, tartaglia did give you some food to it back in northland bank, but all of the food tasted bland. you'll even throw some of the food into the tiny bin inside the room since you disliked it very much.
giving the young chef a smile, you thanked her for the food. xiangling gave you a smile back as she happily went back inside the kitchen, happy that another customer was satisfied.

'oh hush, i've been running around liyue almost everyday, well except for a couple of days ago, so don't i deserve to have some time to relax?' you thought, taking a bite out of the grilled tiger fish.

'at least they're doing their best at helping us,' furrowing your brows at his long reply, you couldn't help but put the half finished tiger fish down.

celestia? now that was new.
never in your traveling have you heard someone mentioning the word celestia, so how could the voice inside your head knew about this celestia? as if it said something that it shouldn't have said, the voice stayed quite the whole time you ate.
meanwhile, aether was back inside the city of monstadt after defeating a few hilichurls and abyss mages near wolvendom. he had heard that the rite of parting was going to be held after rex lapis was assasinated.
taking it as an opportunity, he decided that his next destination was at the knights of favonius headquarters to meet jean herself. he's been getting worried after you stopped sending letters every weekend to ask about his and paimon's wellbeing.
"my name's teucer!"
you did not expect this, at all. after eating at the wanmin's restaurant, you decided to take a stroll around liyue before heading off to inazuma in about a couple of weeks. it was hard to find a boat since almost all of them were either occupied or the owner was just scared getting struck by the electro archon's barrier.
looking down at the child who had introduced himself as teucer, you could slightly see the resemblence between him and a certain harbinger.
of course, you didn't thought about it much and only asked if he was lost after finding him wandering around cuijie slope, muttering about playing hide and seek with mr. cyclops again.
"no, i'm actually out here searching for mr. cyclops! have you seen him, miss?" ah, you stand corrected.
this kid was definitely talking about the ruin guard you killed while passing through the area. to be honest, ruin guards weren't your favourite enemy to fight to. they're always doing these annoying spinning around thing making you unable to land a hit on it.
deciding to not tell the poor child about the fact that you killed his 'friend', "hm, i think i did saw him walking around here.."
for a moment, you could see teucer's eyes shine as he waited for you to continue.
"i think he went home. besides, it's almost nighttime. aren't your parent's going to be mad at you for coming home this late?" you lied, you just made the excuse up after noticing the sun slowly going down.
