ᴅɪᴠɪɴᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴠᴇɴᴛɪᴏɴ || il dottore

|chapter 10|

-they got seated at yujing terrace-

y/n was looking around at the interior design, it was more extravagant that the exterior. she new this restaurant was too expensive for her, so she would consider this dottores payback for harming her.

"this place is beautiful.."

"hmm really? i've seen better in other regions. it may be beautiful. but if you truly think that, then you are going to love fontaine and the other nations."

"do you have a childhood home you would like to visit while we are in fontaine?"

"uh- a home? ah right, childhood home.. well you see uhm..."

"hm?"

"yes- kinda?"

"if you don't want to go, then you could have just said no.." y/n looked somewhat disappointed.

"well i just think that- that my parents doubt want to exactly see me."

"oh.. alright. we can just look at the building then."

when y/n said that, there was a look on her face that would never leave this mans head. pure beauty some would describe it as. but of course he didn't know that yet. he also didn't know the reason why his face was turning red yet. she couldn't see of course, considering he still had his mask on.

"hey why do you always wear that mask?" she asked him.

he was zoning out, so she waved a hand in front of his face. he finally snapped out of his mind space. he zoned out staring at her.

"oh- yes? what did you ask?"

she sighed "i asked you why you always wear that mask."

"well it's kind of a fatui requirement, but i just like wearing it. as you saw with tartaglia, he wears his mask on the side of his head."

"the fatui have a dress code-?"

"yea kind of. none of the other harbingers even try to conceal their identities, so i don't even know why we still have to wear masks."

"right.. well i'm finished eating. you hardly ate anything. aren't you still hungry?" she worriedly asked

"it's kind of hard to eat with the mask on.."

"then take it off. easy solution."

"hmm, i'll be fine. i wasn't too hungry to begin with. i mainly just came with you because you were hungry."

"i thought the fatui were "unmerciful and disregarding for others"."

"you were the one who said i had to be nice. i'm dropping all my fatui duties and my rude attitude."

"oh yeah.."

"alright let's go-"

"what about paying? you can't be a criminal while in my presence."

he gently laughed "the fatui have a conjoined tab at this restaurant. when the restaurant is running low on money, they go to northland bank to claim our debts."

"this feels like information i shouldn't know.."

"well you asked, and i'm technically a traitor now. i guarantee that tartaglia will report to the others about his meeting with me."

"..." she frowned and looked down.

"what's wrong?"

"are you a traitor because of me?" she asked, with a sad tone in her voice.

"oh- no. i was a traitor long before i even met you. don't worry."

he put out a hand for her to grab onto so she could stand up. she grabbed it and they walked out.

(i have nothing to do today so enjoy a bunch of chapters, also vel would probably say something like "make his pockets hurt y/n" or something like that.)
