"Heehee..." Wu let out a cheeky chuckle, a smile on his face as he beamed before both his companions and enemies.

...

...

...

"WU!!!" 

Aether, Childe, and Paimon cried out in unison.

"You're alive!" Aether exclaimed.

"You're alive!!! Wait... Dammit, you're alive!" Paimon said angrily.

"YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" Childe shot forward, throwing his arms around Wu, whose mood immediately soured.

"The fuck're you happy for!?" Wu said as he shoved Childe off.

"You pulled through! Hell, you're even stronger than before!!!" Childe said, his eyes utterly sparkling. "To hell with all of this! Let's have another match, right here and now!" He said, stepping forward with a wild look in his eyes.

"You step the fuck back, you weirdo!" Wu said, aiming a ki ball level to Childe's face. Childe withdrew, chuckling with raised hands, and Wu sighed, lowering his blast.

"So the circus monkey survived his biggest show yet..." Signora said, gazing at Wu in contempt.

"Oh, you're here too..." Wu said. "How come you two aren't killing the shit out of Aether?" Wu asked.

"Aether is a late arrival. We met here on neutral ground with neutral terms. I came here with the harbingers to conclude the terms of an old contract contract." Zhongli said.

"Pardon?" Wu raised an eyebrow.

-

Aether caught Wu up on Zhongli's nature, and his deal with the Tsaritsa

-

"I fuckin' knew you were sketchy..." Wu said, turning to glare at Zhongli. "Some humble nobody you ended up being..." He said.

"It is who I am now, and hopefully, forever more..." Zhongli said.

Wi sighed. 

"And then there's you two..." Wu said, turning to the two Harbingers int he room. "All that work to stop the Fatui's plans, and you get what you wanted in the end, no strings attached..." Wu said, his gaze hardening.

"...Please say that you're not gonna let us leave with the gnosis..." Childe said, practically itching for a fight.

...

"Nah, you can go..." Wu sighed. "I think I really could kill you two now. It'd be close, sure, with how damaged I still am... But there's too many people here. Besides, there's five more Gnosis...es.... Gnosese...?-that I can stop you from getting." Wu said.

 "Cocky bastard..." Signora said, her gaze narrowing.

"What, you want me to turn triangles into squares on your face?" Wu asked, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

...

"Hmph... With the Gnosis in my possesion, I have no use for such idle chatter. We should return to Zapolyarny Palace and seek audience with Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa." Signora said, turning to Childe. 

"Ugh... fine. I'll meet you there. There's no way I'd share a boat with the likes of you." Childe hissed.

"Hmph... Do as you wish." Signora said, her heels clicking on the floor of the Northland Bank as she departed.

"Well, I suppose I'll have to start packing. I'll be sure to visit you before I leave for Snezhnaya, Wu..." Childe said, turning to Wu with a thin grin.
