The Impenetrable Harbinger | Scaramouche

The Real Number Six

"He did WHAT?!" 

The electricity coming off of this petite man quite concerned you. He was grinding his teeth and mumbling to himself, "How dare he try to shove me off to another Harbinger that was so IMPORTANT at that. God he probably bothered her while she was working-- I'm gonna kill him--" 

Those words kept creeping around your head as you answered, "He did as I said, calm down and relax, I'm here to work and keep you company so Lover-boy can do his own thing," he seemed to find Lover-boy quite funny and snickered thinking about it. 

"I'm sorry if I'm a disturbance to you Miss please forgive me," he bowed and sat down, strange where was the anger filled boy who was about to kill his underling two seconds ago? 

"No, no, it's quite alright," You shook your head then calling out for your assistant, "Cici? Hello, yes, please fetch me two cups of Oolong tea, that'll be all for me," you looked over at the boy. 

"Oh I'll just take the tea thank you," he smiled at Cici as she nodded and left to get the tea. 

"Strange you don't live up to your expectations," you sighed and decided to break the silence between you two. He looked irritated as you continued, "You're known to be the least liked Harbinger, the mean one, would probably laugh at your funeral or when you told him your dog died, honestly I'm a little disappointed," You smiled at him, ready for the back lash, ready for him to shock you or suffocate you, but he didn't. He sat there and slightly smiled, not kindly but forcefully to stop himself from attacking you. 

"O-oh you think so?" he managed to push out, "Seems to me you aren't up to your expectations either hmm? Where's the bubble brain, doll face, joyful little cheerleader of a Harbinger I've heard so much about?" you let out a tsk of annoyance. Truly you just met this boy and he was already on your nerves. 

For the next 20 minutes you two glared at each other like you wanted the other dead but had a smile on your faces like you truly looked like a nice person in the moment. It was continuing until it was interrupted by a little voice saying, "M-miss, your u-um tea is here, I'll just set it down." 

"Thank you Cici," you gave her a genuine smile then turned back to the horror in front of you, "So do you like poison with your tea? Or would you prefer it in your food?" he snickered. 

"You think for the Second Harbinger you'd have some class, no?" 

"More class than your idiotic self can figure out I suppose," you sipped you tea and almost spit it out when he went... 

" Maybe Childe did have a point, women are all the same, some just don't understand it," He then tried to take a drink of his tea when you grabbed the cup and shattered it, leaving him with a smirk. 

"What was that you said? To me it sounds like you are badmouthing the Tsarita? I can let her know if you'd like, 'Your Majesty it seems you Sixth Harbinger wishes to quit for the sole purpose you are a female'" that made him jolt up.

"Now, now, no need for that I was only joking, haha..."

"mmhmm? Well then shall I continue my work or do you wish to hear yourself talk the whole time?" he sat down and obeyed, it felt, good, of course normally you were in control with a status as high as the one you held. Though having control over a Harbinger?  That made you feel great, the power made you all giddy inside causing you to chuckle as he moved over to your lounge area, giving you back your space. 

You worked as usual for the next hour until you finally finished. You looked over to the Balladeer and...

ARE YOU SERIOUS???
