"We are not leaving Khoi behind" you kept telling your Fatui son as he was hugging you close puffed up grumpy.

"But why..." He whined as he hid his face into you as you saw Khoi return with Xiao.

"I'm back!" Khoi said happy as he saw you smile at him and his brother look at him with a glare.

"Where did you go Khoi-" you noticed the knocked out flower beast in his hold. "Khoi.. what's with the whooper flower?"

"A surprise!" Khoi said happy as he went to Aether. "Aether can you please do me a small favor?"

"Sure" he said watching Khoi hold up the whooper flower.

"Can you please let me keep this in your teapot space? I need it alive and unharmed." Khoi said happy.

"What what!?" Paimon asked shocked. "A whooper flower?! Uhh Aether Paimon thinks that not safe" she said turning to him.

"..that's true.. its too dangerous to be let lose.." Aether said.

"Noted." Khoi said glancing at Zhongli "and I come up with a solution to it." He said as Khoi turned and walked up to Zhongli was standing a few feet from you.

Zhongli looked down at Khoi. "Yes?" Zhongli asked. "Do you need-"

"Papa" Khoi said holding the whooper flower close to him giving him the most cute eyes he can do.

"Khoi..." You called out to your son confused at his sudden attitude. Zhongli however was frozen in place.

"Papa" Khoi said "can you make a small barrier so I can keep the whooper flower safe?" He asked.

"What..." Aether was shocked as well.

Khoi stood there looking at Zhongli as he was quickly engulfed in a close hug. "Of course my son!" Zhongli said with a wide smile very happy "you finally called me Papa! I'm so happy!" The Geo Archon said touched.

"Papa!" Khoi said happy.

"Yes my son! Papa's here!" Zhongli said hugging him happy.

".... He's so weird.." Kunikuzushi said hugging you watching him "who wants that as a father.."

"I know what he's doing.." you said watching Zhongli making the barrier for Khoi "hes acting to get Zhongli to do what he wants.."

".... It appears this suppose brother of mine is frighteningly intelligent. Just called him 'papa' and look how he just melted.." Kunikuzushi said watching as well.

"Ok Aether it's all set" Khoi told him as Aether noded and stored it.

"Can we finally go now?" Kunikuzushi said impatient. "Incase you all have forgotten! That Bitch Signora still has mother's -"

"Kunikuzushi!" You said as he quickly covered his mouth and looked at you giving innocent looking eyes. "You really developed a foul mouth."

"We can figure that problem out another time!" Paimon yelled "we have to stop Signora!!"

"Right" Khoi said. "Let go!" He said as you all quickly made your way over.

Along the way you all spotted Signora on her way to the city. Your group seeing her ran to confront her but you grabbed Kunikuzushi stopping him"Mom?" He said surprised. As the rest of the group stopped.

"Are you sure you wish to show yourself infront of the Fatui..?" You asked him as he stood silent. "You are part of the Fatui would you be targeted too once you attack one of your own?" You said worried for him.

"Mother's right. After this you could be exposed and thus targeted to kill-" Khoi stopped himself before grabbing Kunikuzushi's arm pulling him towards the female Harbinger. "Actually let's go! You must attend! If your killed I'll care for mother so no worries!!"
