Nikolai stood outside of the Fatui's headquarters, he took a deep breath before entering.
He immediately caught the attention of a man and woman who were carrying in boxes of who knows what.
"Who are you?" The woman asked, eyebrow raising slightly. "I'm here to see your boss." Nikolai nodded at them and began walking away before he felt a sharp object against his neck.
"Make another move and I'll cut your throat right now." The man snarled, his hot breath walking along the back of Nikolai's neck. He cringed at the feeling.
"Maybe don't breathe against my neck? And this is very unnecessary, I really am just here to see your boss." Nikolai sighed, a bit dramatically.
"You think I'd believe that shi—" "What Are you doing?" A voice came from in front of them, it was Albedo.
"Albedo! Please tell this man to let me go, I'm so very scared." Nikolai pouted, wiping away a fake tear.
"Let him go," Albedo gestures to the man, he grumbled as he slid the knife away and walked away with the woman.
"I'm sorry about that." Albedo chuckled awkwardly. "Oh it's no problem really, at least you know that they would protect you." Nikolai walked over to Albedo, hovering over him.
Albedo stared up at him, he was a little too close for comfort. "Yeah I guess.." Albedos eyes wandered away.
"I've only been in your headquarters once, but I never really got to look around...Will you show me around?" Nikolai asked with a small smile, "Sure." Albedo cleared his throat as he began walking with Nikolai.
This way I can map out the place.
About a half an hour passed, Nikolai regretted asking Albedo to show him around.
"Oh, and this is where all our money comes and goes. Pantalone should be in here but it looks like he's out right now..." Albedo looked around inside the room for Pantalone, but to no avail.
Nikolai's eyes lit up, he quickly took a glance at the door number—he made sure to remember it.
"Neat." He mumbled. "I think that's enough for now, let's go to your office." Nikolai suggested.
Albedo looked over to him.
He's acting a bit strange.
Albedo decided it was best to shrug it off though.
"Hm." Nikolai looked around Albedo's office, "What?" Albedo raised an eyebrow.
"Where's that brown haired fellow? I've forgotten his name...it was like shlong or something.." Nikolai muttered the last part.
"Zhongli? He isn't here right now...to be honest I don't know where he is. He started to just disappear sometimes." Albedo sighed.
Out of nowhere, Nikolai's phone dinged.
He raised it up from his pocket to look.
[Vera] I'm at the headquarters right now.
Nikolai almost audibly gasped, he glanced at Albedo, who wasn't paying attention to Nikolai at the moment, then back to his phone.
[Nikolai] What the fuck are you doing here?! This was NOT part of the plan!
[Vera] I got bored. Have you found out anything? I'm sure I can help you out in someway.
Nikolai thought for a moment...this could actually work out.
[Nikolai] Actually, yes. I found out where they keep their money...if you could get in there and figure out something that'd be amazing for us
[Vera] Alright, what's the door number?
[Nikolai] 167, wait, how do you know there's numbers on the doors?
[Vera] Because I'm already inside.
Nikolai gripped his phone a little harder, causing it to shut off.
"So, Albedo," Nikolai blurted as he fit his phone back in his pocket.
"Hm?" Albedo looked over to him curiously.
"How about you tell me more about yourself? You're interests must've changed from when we were kids." Nikolai moved some hair out of Albedo's face with his thumb.
Albedo grabbed his hand and put it down back by his side, "Not really...I'm still into alchemy and sketching." Albedo couldn't physically face Nikolai—not because he was nervous, but just because this was so fucking awkward.
"Oh yeah? Show me some of your drawings."
Vera yawned, stretching her arms out. She walked through the halls, looking for a door that said 167.
165, 166...ah! 167!
Vera smiled to herself and opened the door, not thinking twice.
Oh...fuck.
