*°:⋆ARLECCHINO POV!!
author's note <3
Hello !! this is my first fic, so sorry if it's not the best !
"..." The night was quiet, as any other time it was, same with the warmth-- there was none. The cold air would dance in the sky, as the moon dimmed light. She preferred this over the daytime. it was less exhausting to her. to just watch the sky, no worries about anything. The breeze wasn't any problem. Living in Snezhnaya meant you would get used to the cold. if you didn't, you might as well not live there. This night wasn't any different. she stood outside, taking in the view, not bothered by anything, just in her own place. Being a fatui Harbinger didn't mean it was fully hard, but still was difficult. as she quietly watched, she felt the presence of another person, but not caring. she had no reason to-- as she knew The Damselette was there with her. she stayed silent, looking at the moon as she soon spoke up.

"enjoying the breeze, Damselette?" her voice called out, calm and no emotion put into it. she glanced back behind her, to see The Damselette's small smile. she didn't mind her presence, even though she had her fair share of not liking other people's presence. she couldn't help but smile slightly back to her, even if Columbina had her eyes closed at the moment. She was quite fond of her, and The Damselette always found herself in her soft spot. She acted like she didn't have a soft spot, but it always slipped out every once in a while. "The night breeze has always been refreshing, hasn't it, Knave?" Columbina said, her voice soft as she spoke. it always sent a chill down people's spine, as it was soft, but also harsh in some way. it didn't affect herself, though, as she liked how Columbina talked. she would never admit to it, but she liked quite a lot of things about her. she nodded somewhat, before her voice responded back. "Yes, it is. is there any other reason you came out here along with me?" she was slightly curious on why Columbina had decided to join her, instead of somewhere else. "There was actually something I was planning on giving you, as we're acquaintances, aren't we?" she let out a subtle "mhm." under her breath. she couldn't help but wonder why Columbina had brought her a gift in the first manner. yes, they were acquaintances, but that had nothing to do with a small present. right?

When Columbina had gotten closer to her, she felt her put a small box in her hand. she would look down at the hand, before glancing back at The Damselette. she gently opened to cover of the box, her eyes towards the object in the box. It was a small embroidery pin, of an angel wing, similar to the hair pieces Columbina has. she knew it was some small gift, as they worked together. she knew. but she couldn't help but feel slightly bothered, and warm from the gift. throughout the cold air, there was still something lingering inside her, feeling the warmth. she looked back at The Damselette, slightly shocked, but hid it from her looks and voice. "..Thank you, Damselette. It's beautiful." after she said that, there was a slight mumble under her voice. she never felt this way to anyone else, but Columbina had some way of getting under her skin in a good way. her eyes lingered on Columbina for a second longer than she needed, before her eyes directed back to the box and the pin, a small smile creeping on her face.
