The Impenetrable Harbinger | Scaramouche

Babysitting?

You honestly understood a lot of what Childe went through and sympathized over the fact he had to constantly lie to his little brother from what his true story was hoping he wouldn't follow in step. Though him lending the responsibility of taking care of him for a day? Why would you ever agree? 

Yet here you were on the boat ride back to Snezhnaya with a small red headed boy sleeping peacefully on your lap with the Sixth Harbinger resting on your shoulder. you took a deep inhale of the crisp ocean air. You felt relaxed yet tensed. Your hands stroked through the young boys hair trying to undo any knot that could be found. 

The soft hum of the water relaxed you again and you decided to look down at the Harbinger on your shoulder he looked quite peaceful for how angry he could get. 

You slightly chuckled at the thought feeling the little boy stir and abruptly woke up. Luckily Childe had convinced Tuecer that you and Scaramouche were simply workers in Childe's toy selling business. This caused the boy to get extremely comfortable with the both of you. 

"Hello!" The boy exclaimed as he shot you a bright grin. You gave him a close eyed smile and nodded in response. 

"How did you sleep?" You reached your hand up to the boys head to brush away any fly away strands. He looks you in the eye and answers with a subtle hum in agreement. 

His gaze then shifts over to the harbinger laying on your shoulder. 

"Hey where's his hat? Big brother said it's what gives him ideas! He can't work without it!" you held back a laugh knowing it would probably wake up Scaramouche. 

"It's right next to him so he doesn't lose it on the boat," I pointed at the hat that was propped up next to Scaramouche. 

The boy's face held an 'o' look when it suddenly shut and his eyes widened. At first you started to panic, then you felt the movement on your shoulder meaning Scaramouche was finally wakening. 

"Goodmorning princess," you teased knowing it would make him upset. He grumbled something under his breath and rubbed his eyes to awaken. He then glared at you. Before he could say anything you cut him off, "Did you forget we are watching Scaramouche for Childe today?" 

You smirked as Scaramouche's gaze flickered over to the boy and back to you. He scoffed and put his hat on, then he once again looked at Tuecer.

"Don't believe anything this hag told you about me kid," an irk mark appeared over your head. 

"She didn't say anything bad about you," Tuecer looked confused, "Infact I just woke up a few minutes before you so she was telling me where your hat was because Big brother said it really helps you with your brain issues!" 

"Why you little-!" Scaramouche had purple lightening crackling around him. You simply stood in front of Tuecer and kept a firm grasp on his little hand. 

You mouthed to Scaramouche to keep quite and be nice. He huffed and you turned back around to Tuecer with a big smile.

"Alrighty Tuecer, do you have any games you want to play?" You bent down to his height to show you were giving him your full attention. 

"Let's play... I-spy!" you nodded and turned to Scaramouche signaling you were forcing him to participate as well. 

"I'll go first," you looked around thinking of what to say, "I-spy with my little eye, something... red!"

"Bloo-" you quickly slapped a hand over Scaramouche's mouth before he could finish.

"hhm, an apple?"

"Good job Tuecer! It's your turn now!" 

"Ooh! Okay!" he took a quick glance around, "I-spy with my little eye something.. Purple!"

"A hick-" you interrupted the Harbinger.

"Is it Scaramouche's eyes?" Tuecer nodded. 

You turned to Scaramouche shooting him a quick glare.

"Your turn."
