"You want me to kill who?" She scoffed as she leaned back in the chair, trying her best to keep her voice down. The figure before her just calmly sipped their tea, keeping their head tilted so she couldn't make out any of their facial features.
"You heard me. And if you complete the job without causing any suspicion, I'll raise the price to 1 million mora" They spoke nonchalantly, placing the teacup down and pushing their chair away. In the 5 years she had been doing this job...she had never been offered that much money before, and it felt wrong. No normal person would put that price on any other normal person...so the target must have been pretty important. Rubbing her temples, she keeps her gaze locked onto the table.
"Wait- I'll do it!" The h/c haired girl hissed as she stood up as well, and the figure let out a low chuckle. They handed over a photograph, which she took with a shaky hand, before stalking off- leaving her dumbfounded.

The first step to a job was befriending the target. That always worked the best for her...it ended with the best results. There was no point sneaking around and making yourself look strange, if you were to befriend them- you were more likely to gain their trust.
And here her target was.
After doing a bit of research and asking around Liyue, she discovered her target was Childe- real name Tartaglia, and a puppet for the Fatui. He's feared by many, but to the unsuspecting eye he seems like your ordinary guy. He was sat at a booth at Wanmin restaurant, struggling to hold a pair of chopsticks- and she couldn't help but chuckle slightly.
If her job wasn't killing him...she'd think he was kinda cute.
"Excuse me, I'm so sorry to bother you whilst you're eating but I just wanted to ask. Do you know how to get to Luhua pool?" (Y/N) asked politely as she approached his booth, bowing her head as a way to show how apologetic she was. Now she was up-close, she could properly soak in his appearance.
Messy orange hair that fell in his face as he looked up at her, blue eyes that seemed to stare at her so intently, a cheeky grin plastered on his face as he waved a hand. He was handsome...there was no doubt about it. It was no surprise that the Fatui were so fond of him.
"Please, no need to apologize! I'd be happy to show you but...why do you wanna go there, girlie? It's pretty dangerous" He smiled with a tilted head, and she had to swallow the butterflies that erupted in her stomach. Damn him and his charm.
"I'm an artist, and I was told by a merchant that it's a gorgeous spot! I wanted to see it for myself" She beamed, patting the satchel attached to her hip that contained brushes. She had brought them specially for this contract- she wanted to look the part after all. Childe let out a soft 'ahh', now understanding her intentions.
