"I analyse people's faces so I know what they're feeling!"

"You analysed me?"

"Yep! And you are annoyed and curious. I think. At me."

The girl spins her bracelet round and round on her finger. She looks bored, yet her voice is kind of... excited. "Is this your laboratory, Albedo? 'Rosie told me about it."

"It is rather obvious." Albedo looks at [Y/N] in undisguised annoyance. "I suppose you want a tour too?" he says sarcastically.

She smiles, ignoring the sarcasm in his voice. "I'd like that!"

Albedo sighs. He didn't know what Sucrose was thinking when she asked if her older sister could come study alchemy. [Y/n] had an attention span of 2 seconds and chatted away whenever she felt it was getting too silent. Furthermore, he couldn't tell if they were sisters or not because they didn't look at all similar apart from the ears. Their personalities were the complete opposite too. "I wasn't being serious."

"Oh." [Y/N] waves her hand dismissively. "I knew that. I was just seeing if your irritation with me had a limit."

She stares at her knees, then looks up and says, "Can we do the alchemy stuff now?"

Albedo sighs. 

This girl would be the end of him.

"Huh, so your irritation at me doesn't have a limit." [Y/N] smiles. "That's fine. Most people get annoyed with me after only knowing me for five seconds. Even 'Rosie gets annoyed with me sometimes."

Despite her personality, she was smart, contrary to what Albedo first thought of her. [Y/N] knew what people thought of her.  She seemed to have an acute awareness of people's emotions, and instead of being careful with them, she tampered with them until they couldn't bear it anymore. This made Albedo wonder why she had decided to pursue alchemy instead of psychology. If she was trying everything before making a fixed decision on what to do with her life, she was indeed very smart. She could also use this knowledge in day to day life so her studying wouldn't go to waste.

"Alright, let's go do the 'alchemy stuff' as you put it." he sighs. 

[Y/N] smiles, and follows him, still chatting, and asking questions.

"Where's 'Rosie?"

"In Mondstadt, with Timaeus."

"Who's Timaeus?"

"Another student of mine. Why don't you be quiet?"

"Why do I need to be quiet?"

Albedo stops abruptly and turns to look at her. "Will you shut the f*ck up?"

[Y/N] giggles. "You can swear? I thought you were a sophisticated science-thing."

"I am not a science thing. And yes I can swear. Now, are you going to shut up?" Albedo's eyes seem to shoot icicles at [Y/N], which causes her to shut up. Albedo groans in despair. He turns to check on [Y/N], and she's trying so hard not to laugh she looks like a pufferfish. He quickly turns around so she won't see that he's trying not to smile, but he knows it won't work. After all, [Y/N] can tell what he's feeling.

Albedo feels a twitch somewhere in his chest, but he ignores it. Perhaps his artificial heart is working up? He'll need to check up on it later.
