Childexthoma Stories

Sometimes interesting encounters can lead to more, Thoma knows that, and yet he would not have expected how far he himself would be capable of going. Unexpected, just like the fact that a firewater from Snezhnaya burns so much in the throat ...

Mission-find the Balladeer, n.6 of the Fatui Harbingers. This task was fallen into the hands of Tartaglia. It was seen as a chance to redeem himself to the Tsaritsa after making a fool of himself in Liyue when failing to retrieve the Geo archon's gnosis. Instead, it'd been snatched by La Singnora right in front of him. The swordsman is sent out to Inazuma in hopes of successfully scouting the Balladeer to reclaim the electro archon's gnosis and drag the traitor back to Snezhnaya - but, as it turns out, the Balladeer is a slippery one, and is left unfound. When the man becomes ill with hunger, he goes to feast his sorrows away at a well known tea house in the city. There, he runs into a complete stranger that just might be the sugar he needs to get through this dragging mission. THOMACHI A/N: story takes place many many updates ago and this was in my drafts for the longest times.
