Chapter 2- Realization.

You laughed as you slowly stood up. You brushed your h/c hair back to its original placement and wiped the dirt off your uniform.
"Who am I?" You ask, "I could ask the same about you!"
You never noticed that your mask fell from behind your cape. It still remains on the floor. You finally look back up at him.

Why does his uniform look so similar to mine? It has a similar design layout...

You looked him up and down, confused, but intrigued. He was very attractive, and he gave you butterflies just to look at him. His figure, his hair, his face, it all captivated you.

"Miss Girlie?" You heard him say.
You snapped out of your thoughts, "Um- Yes?"
He bends down and picks something up, you follow him with your eyes. You panicked once you realized what he was grabbing.
"I think you dropped this," he says with a smirk, "This looks oddly familiar...mind explaining what it is?"

Oh my archon, MY MASK! I'll get in a hell of a lot of trouble if I tell him about myself.

You reach out for it, but he swiftly holds up high above you where you cannot reach it.
"Hey! Give it back!" You demand.
You tried jumping to grab it but you were just too short compared to him.
He shakes his head, "Not so fast girlie, you're not getting this back until you tell me what it means."

He continues to tease you by putting your mask on the other side of his mask. They were identical in shape, but differed in color. His was red, while yours was f/c.

"Har?! You have the same one! Why don't you explain what yours means." You cross your arms over your chest.

"Trying to avoid the subject I see. Well, I think I know what's going on here." He snickers.

You look over at him once more, "And what do you mean by that?"

"I'll be keeping this for now. Meet me in front of Angel's Share tomorrow morning and we'll talk. You better have a great excuse, girlie." He threatened as he walked away.

You were left dumbfounded, how could you just let this hot guy walk away with something so important. You need your mask, otherwise you don't have a delusion. But yet, his looked the exact same as yours. Could he be a harbinger as well?
You grew pale, "Oh my archon... He is a harbinger."

If he finds out that I'm the twelfth harbinger, I'm done for. For all they know, there are only 11 of them! How would that make sense to him?! He'll think I am lying and he'll have me killed. I really failed the tsaritsa's orders.

You decided that there was no point in trying to find him. If he was a harbinger, he would be spectacular at hiding. You wouldn't be able to find him. Yet, you were excited at the fact that you may finally get to know the identity of one of your comrades.

You slap yourself, "What am I thinking? Comrades?! I work by myself. I have no co-workers."

You turn back and open the door to the inn. You pay for a room, but you don't think you're gonna get any sleep. Once you finally reached your room, you locked the door and headed for the bath. You need something to relax yourself after what happened.
As you sit in the warm, bubbly tub, you think to yourself...

Not only do I have the problem with the traveler, now I have yet another thing to worry about. If I am correct about this man being part of the fatui, it will not be easy to trick him. I might just have to come clean. Hopefully he isn't a backstabbing freak who'll report me to the tsaritsa.

After you're finished in the tub, you dry your long h/c hair and tie it up. You walked over to the sink and splashed freezing cold water onto your face. It reminded you of the water in Snezhnaya. You look up into the mirror and notice that your e/c orbs were slightly red. As you further observed your face, you noticed that your cheeks were covered in a light blush.
You wandered back into your room and into bed.
You found it embarrassing when the blush still had'nt left your face. You weren't over heated, so what could it be?
In fact, you were still flustered after bumping into Mr. Hot Guy, and you couldn't get his face out of your brain.

"He's not that attractive. I'll be better in the morning." You whispered as you closed your eyes.

You were not in fact better in the morning. You barely got any sleep. You were worried sick about what was going to happen once you met up with him once again.

You got up and got ready quickly, preparing yourself for anything. You needed to get it back, and you didn't care who you have to hurt for it to be back in your hands.
