Dear (Y/N),

I know I just sent you a letter on my birthday, but I couldn't help myself. I'm glad you wrote back, but how are things there? Nobody causing too much trouble? If there Fatui are bothering you, just say the word and I'll handle them! I can keep them quiet through certain methods.

I've also heard you've ventured into the nation of Inazuma recently, and made your way into a mysterious archipelago before that. What an experience, huh? Must be really fun, exploring new places and battling new faces. I'd love to share the joys of adventuring with you one day. I've yet to depart to Snezhnaya. The Tsaritsa requested me and a fellow harbinger to stick around and train more new recruits. It's a hassle, but come visit me in Liyue when you have time, alright?

In fact, I find myself asking around about you. People hold you in high regard and I'm always so relieved to hear it. Then again, I could always catch up to you and assist you in your travels. I miss our sparring. Your strength is something to remember ㅡ I'd like to witness it everyday. Perhaps I could learn a thing or two. But maybe you'd want me to help you on the fields? We'd obliterate opponents together! We can explore the vast lands unmarked ㅡ closed nations or nations who open their arms to travelers like us. Who knows, what if we'll manage to make a name in Teyvat? Tartaglia and (Y/N), the strongest fighters the world has ever known. Sorry, I got a little carried away. Regardless, I wouldn't mind handing over some of my work to my underlings to join you on your little trip.

If you find your team full, and I can't join, it's no worry. Maybe you can visit me in Snezhnaya, where I'll introduce you to my family. I bet Teucer misses you. He's taken a great liking to you, and he writes me letters all about you. My sister must've heard of you too, thanks to my little brother. She's taken an interest in you as well. I'll cook us a hearty feast to share with my family then maybe I'll bring you to a river I enjoy fishing in. Do you enjoy stargazing? I look forward to gazing at the infinite, starry sky. Just the two of us.

I̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶o̶p̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶t̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶o̶n̶g̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶.̶ ̶P̶e̶r̶h̶a̶p̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶

It's a promise, okay?

                                                                                                                                                                        Childe

i feel like childe would be a sucker for bonding. if it's you teaching him how to use chopsticks or walking through the peaceful areas of liyue, it'd mean the world to him.
