The Impenetrable Harbinger | Scaramouche

Elegant

Columbine woke up bright and early the next morning to quickly back her items. After she finished packing she took a stroll outside while she waited for everyone else to awake. 

Lucky her, during her walk she saw a few Fatui agents who immediately bowed when they noticed her. 

"M-miss Columbine, what a shocker to see you here.." the agent chuckled nervously. 

"Indeed, now do you know when the ship will arrive? The air here is too humid for my liking," fanning her face and pushing her hair off her shoulders. 

The agent stopped to admire the beauty in front of her, "Oh! U-um ma'am, the ship will be arriving in 30 minutes." 

"Alrighty then, I'll get going now," Columbine turned around on her heel and looked over her shoulder, "Toodles!~" 

Back at the Inn

Scaramouche awoke to the sound of Childe skipping in the halls. 

"Ugh why do I have to deal with this EVERY TIME" he got up and slammed open his door to yell at Childe. What he didn't expect was Columbine to be standing there ready to knock. 

"Well good morning to you too Scaramouche," She gave him a subtle smirk.

"What do you want," Scaramouche hid his embarrassed blushing face with a stern voice. 

"Breakfast is ready, I was hoping you would join me?" Columbine tilted her head ever so slightly. 

"Sure, I'll be down there in a minute," He slammed the door on her and began panicking. 

Why would she wanna eat breakfast with me? Am I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Oh my Tsasritsa what if my information was false!  He began stuffing all of the letters and notes he wrote last night into his bags for later. He quickly changed and rushed down the stairs worried of what was to come.

"Goodness it takes him awhile...." Columbine tapped her fingers on her lap as she sat down waiting for the other harbinger. She started to grow more impatient with each tick of the clock.

She heard various agents murmuring around her, wondering if she was waiting on food. A couple of them walked over and asked but she simply ignored them and kept watching the clock. 

"15 minutes? He really likes to keep a lady waiting.." 

All of a sudden she heard footsteps rushing down the stairs that slowed as they got closer. This made her smirk, knowing his delay wasn't purposeful. 

"Glad of you to join me," She turned her head to make eye contact with the purple haired man. 

He took a seat and nodded.

"So... why did you want to eat with me again?" 

She giggled. Just then the food arrived.

"I'll tell you afterwards, k~?" she gave him a crooked smile that gave him butterflies. 

He simply nodded and began to eat. The worry inside him digging away with each bite. The longer he waited the closer he felt like he was about to explode. 

Columbine took a final swig of her tea and looked at Scaramouche.

"Why did you invite me for breakfast again?" 

"Simple...."

LOL sorry for the long wait I've been busy with school and stuff :D
