It's been two months since your small argument with Yurushi. It was the first and last since then. He's been awfully quiet, and so have you. It's begun to make Aesha worried.

Yurushi is struggling with his own thoughts. Even after packing a bag, planning to leave Port Ormos one day, he just couldn't do it. He really never could bring himself to leave you after seeing you again. For some odd reason.

So he just said fuck it. You're not harming him in any way. Better yet, you're helping him by distracting his thoughts from harmful ones.

As for you, nothing much has changed. You haven't seen a Fatui member, so you think the agents appearance was a coincidence. And because of that, you've finally begun to relax a bit. But you're still experiencing deja vu often, and you've been unnecessarily tired.

You don't plan on quitting your job anytime soon, since you formed a bond with the people in it. Aesha, Bashir, and especially Yurushi. Even though the two of you bicker from time to time, you see a great friend in him, and hope he sees the same in you.

As of now, you're sitting at a table with Bashir, learning SSL. He's mute, so he also uses SSL to communicate. Aesha is standing behind the stall, watching the two of you with a smile.

"So, this means hello?" You ask, signing the word 'hello'. Bashir nods with a smile on his face. "Yay!" You exclaim.

Yurushi is at home, on his day off. The only day you and Yurushi have off at the same time are Sunday's. You wouldn't have mind it two months ago, but now you're a little bit salty about it. Seeing his face brightens your day, even if he's a pain in the ass.

A month ago, Tartaglia sat outside on a chair, bathing in the sunlight that hung over Sumeru City. He wrote a letter to the Tsaritsa, updating her with what he knew.

Dear Tsaritsa,

We have located (Y/n). They reside in Port Ormos, Sumeru. And they do not live alone, they have a roommate. After careful observation, I noticed they have a Dendro Vision. Their Delusion is no where in sight. Should I head back to Snezhnaya or continue my mission in Sumeru?

- Childe

He kept the letter short because he knows the Tsaritsa hates reading long, boring letters.

Shortly after, the Tsaritsa responded.

Childe,

You shall return to Snezhnaya. I have another mission for you here, so we'll leave (Y/n) for now.

- Tsaritsa

So that's what Tartaglia did, and now he's dragging his boots through deep snow, heading to a small town in search of something that was stolen. He huffs out in amusement, thinking of you.

The Tsaritsa must either truly care about you, or she doesn't give a shit. After telling her about you, Tartaglia thought she'd immediately tell him to capture you and take you back. But as he pulls himself through the snow, empty handed, feeling a bit useless, he isn't sure what's going on in the Tsaritsa's mind.

Is she going to let you go for good? He wonders, wavering back and forth as snowflakes hit his reddened cheeks. It's unlike her, but also like her to do this. Maybe Her Majesty forgives (Y/n) for running off?
