"miss y/n..? are you awake?"
you groggily rubbed your eyes and looked over at the entrance of your tent. you had arrived at a fatui camp a few days ago after you brought the two kids up to the harbour (without scaramouche noticing!!) along with lichung, who you had been hauling along on your back like a sack of potatoes. he was surprisingly light, so all you earned was a few odd look from the citizens of liyue, which you didn't mind.
as for the two kids, their names turned out to be lucy and luke, and they were identical twins who had been dropped off at a orphanage when they were born. said orphanage had lost funding and crumbled apart a few weeks prior to their kidnapping. lichung had said that he was 'taking in' orphans and they had believed him because he had other kids with him, and a fancy house. unfortunately, looks can be deceiving.
lichung had apparently been planning on selling them to some weirdo who payed big time for kids who were basically off the chart with no connections at all. as for the other kids.. well, you had been too late to help them.
if i ever find the man who's buying those poor kids... oh, it won't be pretty. you thought, scowling at the roof of your tent. whatever, at least i managed to help two of them
you had thought about bringing the kids on a cargo boat to fontaine so that they could go to the house of the hearth— you had heard that the fourth harbinger took good care of her kids there— but you had decided against it and had just told them to go to the wanmin restaurant, and tell the girl there who was named xiangling that they were sent there by you, and that you said hi and hoped she was doing well. hopefully the girl and her parents could figure out something.
"uh... miss y/n?"
you came back to reality when you heard the agent that was outside your tent cough awkwardly
"ah i'm sorry, im awake. what is it?"
"lord scaramouche has some paperwork for you to review." The man outside the tent said, and you groaned and sat up, rolling your stiff shoulders. what you had learned from the past few days in the fatui camp was that paperwork to review typically meant paperwork that he didn't want to do, and that was all of his work.
Safe to say, you were dreading working under him for any longer. You most certainly didn't join the Fatui to just become a human paperwork signer machine.
"Alright, I'll be right out in a second." You stood up and ran a hand through your hair, realizing that it thankfully wasn't that bad. You grabbed the flap of your tent and stuck your head out, looking at the masked Fatui agent.
He handed you the paperwork, which thank the archons, looked to be only around 10-15 pages.
"Thanks, I guess.." You grumbled begrudgingly, shuffling through the paperwork with a frown.
