Messenger of the Harbingers [Genshin Impact]

𝟛

The rest of the first week with Dottore was quite calm. He did not ask you anything nerve-wracking. And so, came the start of the second week.

Snezhnaya is actually known for its technology. It varies from Fatui Skirmishers suits to various factories on almost every corner. Dottore himself was somewhat invested in all that technology. After all, his laboratory was not just full of all kinds of liquids - if you looked closely, you'd be able to find all kinds of wrenches, wires, and other useful stuff. Hell, there was a huge robot in a cage in the middle of the laboratory. Dottore called him Krupp. Krupp was a person once, but he failed to satisfy Dottores' needs as his assistant. Harbinger likes to say that he 'did Krupp a favor by improving him'.

Nevertheless, Dottore was a huge part of technology advancement in Snezhnaya. It was no surprise that once he got an emergency call asking to arrive at one of the factories.

You could hear a sigh escape Dottores lips as he pushed his hair back.

"- I need to leave for a little bit. Can you finish those notes for me, please? Then you can call it a day and rest up." - the Harbinger spoke as he grabbed his coat from a nearby chair.

You scanned him with your eyes. You've never actually seen Dottore go outside. All though you could see why. The weather outside was horrible all year around Snezhnaya. But here, in Dottore's laboratory, it was always warm. You liked it here.

"- Do you want me to go with you?" - you asked, standing up from your desk.

Dottore only glanced at you and laughed.

"- You are dumb for wanting to go outside. I'm doing you a favor and letting you stay here, where it's warm and safe." - The Harbinger said, as he seemed to be looking for something.

That something was his scarf, which was laying under one of the chairs. You picked it up, dusted it off, and wrapped it around The Harbinger's neck. Your kind gesture did not go unnoticed by the man.

"- Oh c'mon, I haven't left the Zapolyarny palace for quite some time now. Will you take me with you? Please?" - you once again asked.

The Harbinger only sighed, as he closed his eyes.

"- Fine, go put on your coat. Be sure to bring your gloves, if you don't want to freeze your fingers." - The Harbinger reminded you.

When both of you were ready, you both marched out of the palace and towards the other side of the city.

Even though the snow here, in the city, was shoveled pretty well and it was not that hard to move around, it was super cold. All the people in the city looked like snowmen made out of thick coats, hats, scarves, and gloves.

You noticed how Dottore got suspiciously quiet. You were almost halfway there and he has not said a single word to you.

"- Are you okay?" - you asked the Harbinger, as you turned to him.

"- Y-yes, I'm fine. Cold weather is not really my forte." - sniffled the Harbinger.

Soon enough, both of you approached the factory as you both got inside and were met with a wave of warmth. The Harbinger's mood lifted instantly as now, once again, he had that crazed signature smile on his face.

Both of you were approached by a man in a suit. You assumed that he was the factory owner, as he shook the hand of the Harbinger and greeted him. All the time you were standing a little bit behind Dottore, giving him some privacy.

"- And this is..?" - the man asked, as he made eye contact with you and extended his hand.

"- Y/N, my assistant." - Dottore answered for you.
