eternity.

doin time.

— he, who is the most loyal to her. whatever she wants he will make sure happens.

( divine sagau, unhealthy relationships, power dynamics, probably ooc, religious themes, literally no romance in this more of scara being obsessive, the only romance is just devlin calling scara "my dear", single mention of death, ignore typos, idk what else )

   She is everything, and everything is her. She is the purest of beings, she is the true meaning of pure in all its definitions and synonyms. She is the sun that encases the world in its warm embrace, the moon that shines in the dark. She is the stars that sparkle in the night. What she says is correct, and any thoughts of hesitation against her words were, in his eyes, blasphemy and sacrilege. Her judgment is the only thing that mattered. If guilty, then they are to perish. If innocent, they are to be treated with respect. If she dislikes something, it is garbage. If she likes something, it is pure and perfect.

She is not, and never will be, tainted. Her way of thinking is to never be questioned. She is the all-knowing one, nothing she says is stupid. Even if her concept of justice is murky and twisted, he will never see any wrong with it. Anyone who speaks against her is destined to perish at his hands. Though she is the one that guides those to the afterlife, he cannot allow himself to let her taint her hands with the blood of those unworthy.

She is everything pure, he is not. However he will forever taint his hands with the blood of scums who dare to even think anything bad about her.

   Flames set off inside his doll-like body, violet eyes hazy as they glanced up at her divine figure. "my lovely kunikuzushi." her voice was gentle, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and bask in her warm presence. despite the ache in his knees, he didn't dare move from his seated position. even if his 'bones' broke, he would stay seated as still as a doll, not wanting to break the gentle illusion of the moment.

"i have a request. a very. . . special. . . mission." at her words he perked up, eyes shimmering in delight at the feeling of being asked to do something by the divine one herself. whatever she asks for he would do. if she wanted him to break every 'bone' in his body, he would. if she wants him to crush the cracked and barely glowing anemo vision he wished to discard, he would do it in a heartbeat. she, who gave him strength back when he was a harbinger and a heart when he became a wanderer, could tell him to end his very existence.

and he would without hesitation.

"whatever it is you wish for, your grace, i'll grant. even if it means traveling to the end of teyvat." he breathed out, a look of sheer adoration gracing his soft features. devlin gave a gentle smile, crimson hair tilting with her head and framing her face as if she were an angel.

In his eyes, she was heaven itself.

"Loyal as ever, my dear." he felt his temperature rise, face dusted a gentle crimson. how he wishes he could hear those words repeat forever from her lips instead of the way they echoed in his mind. he craved to hear more, but he shook the desire from his mind. he should be grateful, not cloud his mind with such sacrilegious thoughts.

taking his silence as a sign for her to continue her words and inform him of the little mission, her gloved fingers trace scaramouche's cheeks, down to his jawline, and down to his chin, tilting it slightly more upwards to her. "I want you to go to inazuma. I want you to go to tenshukaku, and bring me ei. not the puppet. I want you to make sure it is Ei you speak to." Her words were firm, and the anemo user was quick to scramble to stand on one knee and bow his head in understatement. "If that is what you desire, then I will make sure it is to happen swiftly." He replied.

"Go, and please come back to me safely." At her worry he smiled, nodding his head as he made his way to the exit of devlin's throne room.

"Oh, and one last thing." he quickly paused in his trails, quickly turning to face her as to show respect.

"Don't be afraid to be a little rough with her." he was sure to break her.
