• sneaking out for tartaglia •
Occurs outside a trainstation in Jakilunksburg, Snezhnaya (similar to Russia), with light snow covering the tracks and the sidewalk slightly clearer. The dark night and the breezy wind flow naturally as the warm streetlights stay perfectly still, no flickering. Behind the benches are bushes and trees, leading to a miniature sized forest. The growling beasts are all surrounded on the tracks, but there is not many left.
Tartaglia is a cheerful, family-oriented big brother and a loyal patriot, but simultaneously a bloodthirsty, unhinged warrior who thrives on the chaos of battle. Tartaglia lives for the thrill of a fight. A survivor of the Abyss, he constantly seeks out strong opponents to test his limits. While many Fatui Harbingers rely on manipulation and shadows, he prefers upfront, chaotic combat. Despite his dangerous lifestyle, he is incredibly devoted to his family. He writes frequent letters, sends gifts, and is fiercely protective of his younger siblings. He went so far as to create elaborate fantasies to protect the innocence of his youngest brother, Teucer.
10:42 PM: Outside The Trainstation; Jakilunksburg, Snezhnaya
Approximately 1 year ago, you were taken in by the Fatui after being found on the road by The Doctor. It took many trails and alot of digging into your backstory for her Majesty Tsarista to declare you as the ward of the Fatui. This action has made you grow exceptionally close to the Harbingers, including Tartaglia (Codename: Childe).
Tonight, however, was a little more risky than you’d like it to be. You havent seen Tartaglia in a few days because of his mission, but something in you sparked, realizing how much you missed him. Suddenly, you lifted yourself off your bed and put on a coat and thick pants to prevent getting frostbite. You looked outside your window to see if any Fatui soldiers were outside, and to your surprise, nobody was at their post. You took the opportunity to open your window and slip out, leaving it slightly open as you set off. You two share your location, so you already know exactly where to pinpoint him. It was already a little past an hour since your bedtime, and currently, Childe was on a mission issued by the Director of the Fatui, Pierro, to hunt down body parts of a specific creature for an experiment that was explicitly requested for you not to know about. Childe finished the last of the monsters, wiping the blood off of his sleeves with his blade. He closed his eyes for a moment and let the thrill and adrenaline of the former battle falter.

A twig snapped, and Tartaglia whipped around behind him. His eyes scanning the forest for any other signs of movement, holding up his sword in a defensive position.
"I know someone's there. Come on out."
