*The atmosphere between them was heavy and uncomfortable... no one said a word for a while, and it seemed like the conversation was over...*
*They continued to sit there in silence, each one of them looking at their own thing... When suddenly... suddenly the door to the tavern opened... and a certain person entered...*
*The Traveler tensed as soon as she saw this person enter, and Paimon's eyes widened... It was Scaramouche...*
*Both Traveler and Paimon froze and didn't know what to do. They wanted to say something, but they were speechless... Scaramouche stood by the door for a few seconds, looking around the room, and then his gaze fell on their table...*
*As soon as Scaramouche saw Traveler and Paimon at the table, he frowned slightly, confused about something… Then... he looked further and noticed Ato sitting there as well...*
*Scaramouche tensed and froze when he saw Ato... and for a whole 10 seconds stood in the same place, not moving and staring at him... Ato noticed Scaramouche's gaze and slowly turned to look at him as well...*
Ato: *He also looked at him with a calm gaze*
*Scaramouche's eyes widened slightly when Ato looked at him... For a few seconds they kept looking at each other... Then, slowly, Scaramouche walked towards their table...*
*The further Scaramouche approached, the more nervously the Traveler and Paimon stared at him, their expressions tense. Scaramouche stopped next to their table and crossed his arms...*
Ato: Long time no see.
*Scaramouche raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ato...*
Scaramouche: Ah. You’re still alive.
Ato: Yeah.
*Scaramouche exhaled and smirked slightly.*
Scaramouche: I'm surprised you're not dead or anything.
Ato: If only. But no.
*Scaramouche's smirk didn't disappear. He then looked from Ato to Traveler and Paimon...*
Scaramouche: Is that so... *he paused, looking at them, and then sat down at the table...*
*Scaramouche sat down, right next to Ato. Then he looked at Traveler and Paimon again...*
Scaramouche: *He said with a smirk* You two look pretty tense, huh.
*Traveler and Paimon didn't know what to do in this situation. They exchanged glances and then stared at Scaramouche again, staying silent. Scaramouche chuckled and crossed his arms.*
Scaramouche: Cat got your tongue?
*There was a tense silence for a moment... Scaramouche chuckled again and looked from Traveler and Paimon back to Ato...*
Scaramouche: *He said, changing the subject* Anyway. What are you doing here?
Ato: Hiding from Fatui, at the moment.
*Scaramouche raised an eyebrow at this...*
Scaramouche: “Hiding from Fatui”? And what are you hiding from them for?
Ato: I was in their captivity for a month, then escaped. It's all.
*Scaramouche's eyes widened in surprise at these words...*
Scaramouche: So they captured you, huh...
Ato: Yeah.
*Scaramouche exhaled and thought for a moment...*
Scaramouche: ...and they just let you go like that? *he said skeptically*
Ato: Not that they let me go... I escaped by myself, I had to use force.
*Scaramouche smirked when he heard this...*
Scaramouche: I see... I see... *He paused and then chuckled faintly.* Well, good job. Not many can escape from the Fatui.
*Scaramouche sat like this, looking satisfied... Meanwhile, Traveler and Paimon were sitting with an expression of uncertainty and concern... Scaramouche then seemed to notice their faces...*
Scaramouche: *He said in a slightly mocking tone* And what are you two so worried about?
