the harbinger and the adepti

crash and burn

slight spoiler (?) theory

basically, Scaramouche betrays the Tsaritsa after he got the Electro gnosis

-

"why are you here? fatui scum"

Scaramouche smirked, hand on his chest pretending to be hurt "no calling by my name this time, alatus?"

Xiao's eyebrows furrowed even more "i despise you" he growled, his spear pointing directly to the latter's neck.

"surely you don't kiss all people you despise"

"i might" this time, Xiao smirked. Scara's expression immediately shifted into irritation.

"care to repeat, oh-so-called mighty adepti" the lad lowered the weapon pointing to his neck with ease. Slowly walking forward, Scaramouche grinned.

Xiao growled, too close, he's too close...

"why are you here?" he repeated. Scaramouche's hand caressing Xiao's cheek, amber eyes meeting his. "i came back because I missed you"

the answer made Xiao scoff, "i suggest you to leave"

Scaramouche was stubborn, he walked closer until the yaksha felt his breath fanning to his lips— smelling the faint scent of Sakura blooms.

He soon realized the harbinger had him pinned onto the wall, hands placed to his hips. He glared but stood still.

"i plan to betray the Tsaritsa" Scaramouche suddenly announced, eyes glittering as he found Xiao's shocked expression amusing. "she's already mad— after hearing the news about her beloved harbinger who was slain by the Electro Archon, what happens if i add more fuel into the fire"

"teyvat will crash," Xiao warned "it will crash and burn"

"i know" he whispered, lips brushing against each other "so why not enjoy ourselves while it lasts"
