It was around a week later, it was the day for you to discuss with Ajax about joining the Fatui. Was you nervous? Absolutely. He was a mere 16 year old, if he joined the Fatui at this age it could traumatise him and change him as a person. Yes it may look different on the outside to many normal people from Snezhnaya. But behind closed doors, it is a job you wouldn't recommend anybody so young to join. It was filled with bloodshed, murder and overall traumatising experiences. It was even worse if you got experimented on by Dottore.

You were walking over to their family home now, you felt so many different feelings and deep down you just wanted to tell him to never get involved with the Fatui, despite the fact he would be a perfect addition. You knew he would fit the job perfectly, and it was something he would enjoy. You just didn't want to be responsible for traumatising a literal child and getting them involved in something like this.

As you got closer to their little village, you debated on just leaving and going back to the Palace, but his father's words still repeated in your head.

If you won't then Pulcinella will.

Them words made you want to be the one to recruit Ajax due to the fact you would be one training him, plus Pulcinella wasn't always the nicest whilst training. Plus he would end up joining through Pulcinella whether he wanted to join or not.

You now arrived in the village, getting closer to their house. You approached the house, sighing and knocking on the door.

His father opened it, "La Ruffiana, you're here. I thought you were going to betray your word. Ajax is upstairs feel free to go speak to him."

It was around 8pm, it was closer getting darker outside, you sighed stepping inside, slipping your shoes off.

"I wouldn't betray my word. I'll go speak with him now, should I knock or just walk in?"

"Just walk in, he doesn't know you're coming though." He says, closing the door behind you and walking into the living room.

You walked up the stairs, it was quite warm inside compared to what you were used to, it felt like you were in Liyue, which wasn't the hottest place ever but it was still fairly warm compared to Snezhnaya.

You decided to knock anyways, not wanting to walk in just in case he was getting changed or something like that.

"Come in." He says.

You walk in, shock taking over his expression, "Y/n? Why are you here? Did something happen?"

"Your father wants me to talk to you about something, and no nothing happened, you wouldn't be the one I would go to if something happened. No offence by the way." You sit at the bottom of his bed, he was laid under his covers and sat up looking at you.
