You Promised Me (PLATONIC Aether and Scaramouche)

A New Comrade

Our most famous architect Kaveh has gained lots of complements for his architecture and astonishing designs. Kids had played around with mechanisms designed by him, such as a gold mechanical butterfly that lands slowly on a little girls index finger.

Heizou's mother had a speech of praise for Kaveh, as his brother stands beside her. "Our most famous protégé Mr. Kaveh. The visionary behind the gates of Fontaine, a beacon of trade and prosperity for our great city of progress." She rambles along with her speech with a bright smile.

She pauses when Kaveh squeezes through the small crowd. "Excuse me. Sorry, sorry." He lowered his head a few times to look as in he was bowing. "He's a busy man." She laughs it off as a short women hums in agreement, her gaze full of lust towards Kaveh as she holds her book closely to her chest.

Kaveh sneaks behind Heizou, who was keeping watch from where Kaveh was. Kaveh flicks his tall hat. Doing so, Heizou grabs his wrist, twisting it enough for Kaveh to wince in pain. "Ow, ow. Okay, I'm sorry." "Hmph, serves you right." He smirked.

Kaveh rubs his wrist after Heizou let's him go. Especially when Heizou saw his mother giving him a sour look. "You still avoiding her?" Heizou avoids Kaveh's question. "I'm working." "Oh, I can see that. I mean there's so much crime to thwart outside your family's tent." Kaveh laughs.

"I can imagine the strings she pulled to have me posted here." Heizou said to himself. "It's your fault, really, for not following her into a career more befitting your station." Heizou rolls his eyes. "She'd do anything to keep me from seeing the real world."

Kaveh holds his hands together as he stiffens his posture. "Well, at least you'll have the front row seats of the speech." Heizou turns his back enough for his eyes to gaze at Kaveh's. "Speech?" Kaveh nods. "I'm giving the big address tonight." Heizou hums in amusement. "We really have to send to the anarchy."

Kaveh smiles as he turns his back, taking one step away from Heizou. "Have fun hurting the drunkards." United, they laugh while separating from one another.

"Happy progress day!" A man had his hands close to his mouth so he could sound louder. The Fontaine's boat bus was leading to somewhere else in the city of Fontaine. Another one of Fontaine's bus boat was slowly taking its stop, as men with glowing sticks gesture where to park or when to stop.

Fatui agents gathered there things from the ship. Big tubs of Glimmer covered with lids for no one to see it's insides. The staff was overwhelmed by the presence of the Fatui. He clears his throat and stays focus in his work.

"Uh, shipping manifest?" He asked. Signora tosses a pouch of Mora to the man's chest. The staff grabs it before it falls to the ground. "From a friend...downtown." She said in a friendly manner, but her smirk said otherwise. Random goons come out of the dark holes that hid their silhouettes.

They used floating boards from Fontaine instead of their gliders. One being in the middle was the shortest. He turns his body as the floating board right below his feet turns upside down, having him fall off. But he did it so casually as if he knew what he was doing.

Looking at their color palettes could say that their from Liyue. Since there was colors such as gold, red, brown, and grey along with big hoods mask to cover their faces, Fatui recognized them as in they were the Millelith in disguise. The Millelith decides to ambush them.

They dash with their floating boards out of nowhere, using elements like Geo to trap most of the fatui. The Fatui agents try to get at least one hit on the Millelith, but they'd at times miss and get trapped by the Crystals of Geo. Signora couldn't aim any hits because of the Millelith flying around like bugs.
