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

A Ballroom Dance

You didn't actually get any sleep for the rest of the night, so when Lynette came to wake you up in the morning, (the sun was only just starting to show itself so it was too early), she was surprised to find you already up and scrolling through your camera roll.

"I'm sorry, was that The Balladeer?"

"You saw nothing Lynette, if you tell him we're both dead."

After overhearing from the caretakers of the orphanage that you were going out to get clothes today, Lynette encouraged you to wear something easy to get in and out of. "If it's where I think you're going, you don't want to have too many layers."

You followed her suggestion as you also had a feeling where Arlecchino was going to take you to get fancy clothes. You had spent a while going over your notes you had written about genshin so you didn't forget, while adding more notes about what you remembered. You hoped to make a habit of going over and adding to your notes each night but so far you only remembered to do it every few nights (screw your ADHD). Arlecchino had mentioned Inazuma and Fashion and you knew of a character who fit both those. You held a small amount of hope of meeting her but you knew not to get them up too high.

Although you never fell back asleep, you still spent the morning looking over your notes of Fontaines plot line, there were still a few holes where you couldn't remember if it was just a theory or if it was true to canon but you made sure to keep them relatively vague. This way the Fatui could still just play a supporting role in the prophecy. You felt like you could reveal a decent amount of Fontaine without fucking up the plot too much due too how Arlecchino only stepped in if she had to but you don't know how much you could share about the other nations.

Still after being lead through Fontaine to the restaurant you were meeting The Knave by Lynette, you walked into the private room with hope that you wouldn't fuck up any future events.

The lunch went smoothly, thank fuck, and to your surprise Lyney was already there waiting with the Knave and Lynette also joined you, both of them standing beside Arlecchino like statues. It caught you off guard how quickly they switched from friendly to business but you weren't really surprised, Lyney is supposed to be the next Knave after Arlecchino.

The food was great though! Bread, chips, dips and garlic bread came out first while the main course was some sort of pasta. You were in heaven and it made it hard to concentrate on sharing the very basic timeline of the Prophecy. Alrecchino bounced a few ideas off you as well as you shared the events, debating the pros and cons of stepping into certain events. Although you both agreed that helping with the clean up after the flood would paint the Orphanage in a better light. She also asked about the Fortress of Meropide, which you explain how their moles go missing and that the siblings stood behind her plus Freminet would be best for going in after Childe.

You swear time went by too quickly as the next thing you know you're being led by Arlecchinointo a clothing shop with the most intricate dresses and suits on display.

"Ah, good afternoon My Lord, how may we help you today?" The sweet voice of a young man greets you as you enter the store. He was your stereotypical fashion designer with a long measuring tape around his neck, small glasses on the top of his nose and a white shirt tucked into his pants.

"I'm sure you're familiar with the Gala this afternoon?" Arlecchino asks as your eyes dart around their room of exquisite dress and suits, many of which you doubted you could pull off yourself. The blacked haired man nods and she continues. "I have a late plus one joining me, can you scrape together something similar for them?"

You bring your attention back to the stylist as he eyes you up and down. You fidget with the pockets of your pants and relax only slightly when he nods.
