Saved by the Fatui? (Genshin impact x modern!Reader)

Mother Trucker Dude That Hurt Like a Butt Cheek on a Stick

You left the Teahouse with the agent and as you follow quickly after the agent you notice their nervous posture.

"Are you alright?" You ask, reaching for the agent's shoulder slightly concerned. They flinch as your handmade contact with them and they just nod as you bring back your hand.

"O-oh me? Yeah I'm fine." Well that was a blatant lie. You huff as they continue to walk ahead of you so you speed up to walk alongside them.

"If you don't want to tell me that's fine but I'm not going to tell anyone so vent if you need." You encourage, hoping that though they were a stranger, that would be enough for them to vent to you.

"You're just a lot nicer than I thought you'd be." They say quietly only to immediately shake their head, as if denying what they just said. "Wait, not that I thought that you wouldn't be nice. I didn't mean that as an offence."

You just laugh and they chew on their lip nervously, as if they thought that they had pissed you off somehow. "What did you think I would be like? Dottore and Scaramouche?"

"No no!" They shake their head. "It's just, you're slowly becoming known as someone who 'survived Dottore' in the lower ranks and rumours say that you're now hopping between harbingers. A lot of us are under the impression that you must be big, scary and tough but you're not like that at all. It surprised me and I thought you would punish me for talking to you. But, now that I'm seeing how you act... It's just, how have you survived for so long? And how are you so carefree around them?" Once the agent had started they couldn't stop. You chuckle silently in amusement and shake your head.

"If I'm being honest I have no idea how I survived." You begin sounding serious until you turn to the agent with a joking smile. "It must be my irresistible charm."

They look up at you blinking in confusion at your attitude, a small smile making its way onto their face as they watch you rush off to different stalls ahead of them. They somewhat admired you for being so relaxed around such threatening presences. Though they were holding back a laugh when you signalled them to come over and have a look at one of the stalls. After managing to keep you away from the stalls it wasn't long before you reached the bank, a familiar pyro agent waiting at the door.

"I've been instructed to take them from here. You've been sent on break, Riley." Viktor nods to the agent escorting you and they smile before giving a nod to you, waving a goodbye to Viktor before somehow disappearing. You look up at the taller agent who stood with crossed arms. You cross yours and smile up at him.

"Hadn't expected to see you here." You say and you could hear the eye roll under his mask. He turns and gestures for you to follow. After a second in silence you realise how similar this was from when you first met him.

"Well this feels familiar." You note that apart from the scenery, it was pretty similar to when he had first found you. Leading you to see a harbinger.

"I'm surprised that you're still alive." He says after you enter the bank and you gasp, faking offence.

"You didn't have faith that my charm and charisma would save me from harm?" He gives you a quick glance at your comment but looks away when he sees you were kidding and your smile grows before you tap your fist on your palm. "Oh right, I still have your shoe if you need it back."

"That would be... appreciated. Although you will have to give it to me later, I've just woken up." He nods and you frown slightly, it was already afternoon and he had just woken up?

"That's fine I'll just give it to you later." You shrug and the two of you fall into a silence as you make your way through the bank's corridors and stairs. You look up at Viktor and actually look at him. You could make out parts of his hair under his hood but it was tied back so only a few wisps could be seen. His mask was decorated with scratches and dents as if he had been wearing it for a while. You look at the red gem on his chest and admire the pyro delusion- wait no, it wasn't, this dude had a vision.
