The Impenetrable Harbinger | Scaramouche

Psychotic

"Though let's get you out of that dress, hm?" 

Scaramouche realized he was still in the girl's dress and his face suddenly heated up, "Y-yeah I'll go.."

The boy then went to a different room and was brought his clothes as he changed and thought to himself. 

"I wonder what she knows about everyone and how much information is truly in there," he sighed as he realized he shouldn't care though he strangely did. He couldn't put his finger on the feeling he felt. Truly impenetrable.  

Days passed as Scaramouche and Childe began frequently visiting the girl and everyday she seemed to warm up to them. She laughed more and made more jokes though she always made Scaramouche have this gut feeling he couldn't put his finger on. 

"Sooo do you guys wanna go to Liyue? I met a friend there and he's really hot- I mean smart!" 

"Childe if you're flirting with him the whole time we're there you will see Celestia a little bit closer than usual." 

"Coloo~ don't be so mean~!" The red head was pouting as he tried to pull the girl towards the door to leave. 

"Scaramouche are you coming?" Colombine stopped and faced the short male. 

"Do I have to?" 

"It'll be fun! I'll pay~" Childe had successfully bribed both Harbingers to join him or a trip to Liyue to meet his new friend. 

After the long to Liyue they finally arrived and followed Childe to the Northland Bank where they would be meeting Zhongli, the name of this friend. Upon hearing the name Scaramouche watched as Colombine pulled out a packet and smirked knowing who this man was. 

When they walked into the bank almost everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed to the three harbingers that were now requesting to know which room Zhongli was currently in. Whispers fled the room as many suspected that Colombine would be a younger looking version of Signora only to see a short women who was dressed in golden kimono with silky black hair that reached the middle of her back, she looked like she was born in the golden house. Her golden eyes had glistened in the light and her elegant posture reminded everyone of how inferior they were to her. 

Many were also very shocked that they would see her with Tartaglia and Scaramouche none the less, seeing as they were two completely different being and both seemed very annoying. One group of teenage boys whispered something about how Colombine was probably dating one of them. The group received a death glare from Scaramouche as Colombine held no reaction. 

As they entered the room Zhongli was in their noses filled with the smell of glaze lilies,  there sat a man with long brown hair with orange tips sipping on a cup of tea. Childe ran up to the man and greeted him as Zhongli raised a questioning brow at the other two companions with the ginger. 

"I'm Colombine and this is Scaramouche," the women slightly bowed as she went over to sit down, Scaramouche following. 

"Nice to meet you my name is Zhongli, have either of you had Othmanus Wine?" Colombine slightly smiled. 

"No sir, but I'd gladly try it," her tone sounded like honey to Scaramouche, though he felt slightly jealous after seeing how well the looks of Colombine and Zhongli fit together, they looked like a rich couple and Scaramouche felt uneasy thinking about it. 

"Tsk- is this all you wanted to show us Childe? This friend of your's?" Scaramouche seemed quite annoyed by the man and really wanted to leave.

"Zhongli is a really intelligent man that is willing to help the Fatui, I thought you'd like having to know your resources Scara."

"I told you not to call me THAT!" purple electricity flew off of the man as Colombine simply watched, her gaze not leaving the purple haired man. The two began to argue back and forth though it all came to a stop when Colombine suddenly talked. 

"Tell me what you know about the Pyro Archon."
