𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 Opera House, Gardes immediately swarmed the four of them, demanding that they state their business and hand over any visions.

Lyney handed over his vision with a small smile and unclipped it from his cloak behind him. Y/N noticed that he possessed a pyro vision.

Interesting... They thought, before their eyes casted over towards the male who was previously being interrogated. He did not possess a vision.

"I need to prepare for my performance tonight," Lyney explained to the Gardes, "These people are helping me."

"Very well then, Mr. Lyney." The Gardes nodded and stepped aside.

Lyney thanked them before he turned to face Y/N with a bright look in his eyes.

"You may want to get your hands on a ticket now," He said, "Better to get one now before they all sell out."

The other chuckled at his words, folding their arms across their chest. "Oh? You seem awfully confident with your performance, I must say."

Lyney shrugged, a smug expression on his face. "What can I say?" He sighed dramatically, "I am Fontaine's best magician, after all."

The male shifted his gaze from Y/N to their friend stood beside them. Lyney cleared his throat.

"Will you be purchasing tickets too, Mr. Childe?"

Childe hummed at the question, a lazy grin tugging at his lips. "I don't see why not," He answered, "If Y/N is attending, then so will I."

"Great! I will ensure that the both of you recieve front row seats. Perhaps you will even have the luxury of meeting my dearest brother."

"Brother?" Y/N wondered softly.

The magician nodded and snapped his fingers. "Indeed. Freminet, my brother, will be sitting in the front row too. If you see a quiet person with blonde hair and freckled cheeks - that's him."

Lyney spoke about his brother in a fond manner that caused Y/N's heart to swell. They looked at him with a distant fondness in their eyes.

"My dear sister, Lynette, will also be present tonight. She is my assistant and performs in the majority of my shows."

Time passed, and Y/N went to purchase tickets with Childe. Lyney headed towards the stage area with the male from earlier, ensuring to keep a firm grasp on the male's arm.

After purchasing tickets, the pair headed over towards the stage area, opening the doors to the theatre.

Y/N's eyes widened as they took in just how large the theatre actually was. Rows of red seats stretched out for what seemed to be miles and a wide stage was present at the very end of the room - red curtains draped across the back.

"Impressive." Childe muttered to himself as he begun to descend the steps in the middle. Y/N followed.

"Have a seat!" Lyney smiled at the pair, gesturing towards two seats in the very front row. "You two have the luxury of watching me practice."
