Over the next few days, you began to feel better, and were able to function again. As you sat in your bed that morning, you thought 'Maybe I should ask Signora to meet again...' Though the chances of her accepting were probably low, as she usually has work during these hours. Despite that, you picked up a small piece of paper and a pen, and began writing a letter to her.
.~-~-~-~-~.
Signora sat in her office at the Zapolyarny Palace, reading and signing documents as usual, when she heard a knock at her door.
"Come in"
After she spoke, a fatui agent walked into her office, with what looked to be a letter in his hand.
"Lady Signora, Lord Tartaglia told me to give this to you" The agent said, placing the paper on her desk.
"If that's all, you may go now" Signora spoke with her usual cold demeanor.
The agent nodded, and quickly left, shutting the door behind him. Signora looked back at the letter, picking it up in her hands. 'Why would Tartaglia need to give me a letter..? If he needed something he could simply ask." She thought.
She took off the seal on the letter, and opened it, taking out a neatly folded sheet of note paper. She unfolded the note, a look of surprise on her face after reading just the first few words.
"Hi Signora! It's Y/n. I told Childe to drop this off, since I am not able to do it myself."
'From Y/n..? Certainly explains why it was from Childe' She thought, then continuing to read
"If you're free today..I was wondering if you would meet me at the gardens? We haven't met there in a while, and it would be nice to see you again. If you decide to come, I'll be waiting for you."
Signora set down the letter onto her desk, thinking 'If I manage my time well and get the work done efficiently..I might be able to go see her..'
With that, she picked up her pen, and started working.
.~-~-~-~-~.
You sat down in your usual spot on the swing at the gardens, waiting for Signora's arrival. Though you weren't sure if she would even come, as she would likely be busy, not having time for you, you hoped that maybe you would get to see her. You were snapped out of your thoughts by the sound of footsteps approaching you. You looked up, and just as you had hoped, it was Signora. As both of you eyes met, you gave her your usual bright smile, to which she gave a small wave.
"Hello, Y/n"
She said as she sat down next to you.
"Hi Signora! I'm happy you decided to come, seeing as you probably have more important things do do at this time" You said with a small chuckle.
She replied"I...managed to make time" 'because how could I ever say no to you..'
Signora paused for a moment, thinking of what to say next. Then, she asked
"Are you feeling better now?"
"I've been much better, thank you" You smiled
"..How long has this been happening? I had heard that you've been sick like this for a while" Signora questioned, her blue eyes looking into your e/c ones.
"Ah, I see Childe told you.." You paused, not expecting this conversation. "Well..it had originally started about...maybe 4 years ago now? Since then, it's become harder to..well, live. Childe tried to find a cure, but there was never anything that would work for me. I will likely die in a few years..." As you finished, a tear managed to fall down your cheek, which you quickly wiped away.
Signora didn't say anything, though she did notice you had become saddened by the topic. She wrapped an arm around you, pulling you into a small side hug, trying to comfort you the best she could. You were slightly surprised by her sudded affection, though didn't hesitate to lean further into her embrace.
'Cute' She thought, a light shade of pink now dusting her face.
The two of you continued to sit like this for a while, in comfortable silence. If anybody else could see the two of you now, they would probably mistake you for lovers...
