You woke with a groan, laying on top of Childes chest. The boat had stopped moving and had arrived in Snezhnaya.

"Childe." You whispered, trying to wake up the sleeping ginger.

"Childe." You said a bit louder.

He didn't move.

Taking in a big breath, you shouted.

"CHILDE!" The ginger shot up with a startled gasp.

"Why are you shouting!?" He glared at you, pushing a giggling you off of him.

"We're in Snezhnaya!" You smiled, getting out of bed and fixing your hair.

You and Childe were quickly dressed and off boat within minutes.

"I'm so excited to show you around the fatui camp." Childe said happily, grabbing your arm and pulling you along.

He was like a happy child. You smiled as he pulled you along.

Snezhnaya was cold, along the way Childe had snuggled you inside of a spare jacket.

The jacket smelt like him, allowing you to get lost completely in his smell.

After pulling you along for a while, Childe stopped in front of a house.

This cannot be where the Tsaritsa lives? You thought to yourself.

"Ajax!!"

A voice sounded from inside the house. A silhouette moved from the window and a child appeared at the door.

The child practically flew into into Childes arms.

"Teucer!" Childe exclaimed, wrapping his arms around the kid.

"Y/N, this is my younger brother Teucer." He turned to you, smiling.

"Nice to meet you!" You said smiling. Teucer turned to you, giving you a wide smile.

"Come inside!" Teucer grabbed both yours and Childes hands and pulled you into the house.

The warmth of the house welcomed you as you stepped through the door.

"Tonia! Anthon! Mother! Father!" Childe said, pulling you into a small hug.

Two younger kids rounded the corner, an older woman following them with a frustrated face.

"Oh! Childe, dear come sit down! I'll make tea." The woman smiled, gesturing towards the wooden table.

Childe pulled out a chair for you, sitting down next to you.

After a few moments the woman, you assume to be Childes mother, came back with a teapot and some teacups.

She placed the teacups in front of you and Childe, pouring the tea into each of the cups.

"So, who are you dear." Childes mother asked, sitting down in front of you.

"Oh, I'm Y/N. It's nice to meet you." You gave her a smile.

"It's so lovely meeting you." She responded, taking a sip of her tea.

You all chatted, Childes mother sharing so many embarrassing stories about him.

"Mother stop!" Childe said awkwardly, glancing at you.

You giggled.

"So, why are you suddenly back in Snezhnaya." Childes mother suddenly asked.

Childe sighed.

"Well, Y/N decided she wants to join the fatui with me." Childe said, sucking in a breath as he waited for his mother's response.

"Oh how lovely." She said through gritted teeth. Suddenly, she got up, almost knocking over your cups.

"I have something I need to do." She said, turning on her heel and walking down the hallway.

You looked at Childe and he just sighed.

"Let's just leave her alone for now, the fatui is a touchy topic for her." He kissed your cheek, pulling you to your feet.

"Let's go play with the kids out back." He led you to the backyard where the kids were passing a ball.
