NOT LONG AFTER THEY SEALED THEIR PROMISE, the pair left the golden house in silence, with no words left to say. only thoughts that consumed their minds.
some were memories of the past, others were questions for the future.
tartaglia wanted to go back to how things were and went as far as making a promise to make up for his wrongdoings, but could y/n do that?
she wasn't all that sure. she had her moments with the ginger and because of how lost she got in them, she forgot everything around her.
her guard had dropped tremendously, which led to losing track of her goal in finding her twin.
part of her wanted to stay in liyue and fix things with childe, to rebuild that relationship they tore apart just earlier today. but the other half had places to be, far away from liyue. and was that priority, wasn't it?
for once, she had to think twice about her beloved twin.

"ajax.. that's your name?" y/n repeated softly, attempting to pronounce it. his birth name was not something she'd heard of before, which felt strange to say, but it made it quite unique and refreshing to hear.
in turn, he flushed upon hearing his name roll of her tongue so beautifully as a bashful smile came to his lips. "it sure is, and i haven't heard it in such a long time.. though it's nostalgic to hear it once more, and comforting from you," he hummed out, chuckling a bit. "it sounds like honey, better than any music to my ears." he responded softly, taking her hand in his.
it made the traveler flinch a bit at the sudden touch, surprised by how bold he's been as of late, though she made no move to stop him.
she'd grown fond of it anyway, to say the least.
his smile widened at this, happy that she was beginning to trust him more as he slipped her fingers between the crevices of his own, leaning in to kiss her knuckles. all through that, tartaglia's eyes remained on hers, watching as she grew embarrassed once more. he got the feeling she wasn't used to this, and that made his chest warm a bit.
