Chapter 11- Order Something.

You didn't remember anything from last night. The last thing you could register was passing out on the dance floor. You had arrived in Liyue, and you began to gather your belongings.

You ran over to the mirror in the room and stared at your reflection. You still had Childe's jacket on.

You hurried to take it off of yourself and threw it onto his bed. You kind of wanted to keep it on, but you were slightly creeped out by the fact that you were wearing it. He wasn't in the room, but his things were still there. You were going to wait for him inside, but you were eager to get off of the ship.

You didn't bother to change your appearance to fit in more with the crowd. After all, you no longer had to hide who you truly were.

Approaching the doors of the exit, you noticed the man who drugged you was loitering around. You were furious, you wanted to fight him.
But that changed the moment he turned around.
He looked like he had the shit beat out of him.

You felt satisfied knowing that he got what was coming to him. But who did it?

"Hey Girlie." You heard a familiar voice creep up behind you.

You turned around, "Childe! I was looking for you!"
You noticed the small amounts of blood on his hands, "What happened?"

He signaled with his head to the extremely beat up man.

Your eyes lit up, "You fought him? For me?"

Childe pat your shoulder, "I wasn't just going to let him get away unharmed," you turned towards the man with a smile.

The man's eyes widened with fear. He didn't think twice before running out the exit.

The amount of satisfaction you felt just by seeing the terrified man make a bolt for his life, filled you with joy. The look was visible on your face.

"I didn't know you were the sadistic type, (n/n)" Childe teased.

You shrugged, "I guess so."

You both exited onto the harbor together. The looks you got from people made you slightly nervous.
You hovered for a minute before feeling a hand grab yours, "Let's go, Girlie. Don't mind the people staring at you."

You walked around together for a while before placing yourself down at a bench in the center of the plaza. You gazed up at Childe, "So what was ordered of us?"

"I'll just explain what your part of the deal is. You're responsible for Aether." The ginger haired boy explained.

"I have to watch him?" You disappointingly sighed.

"No, you need to distract him and get him to the Exuvia. He heard that a Fatui member was aiming to get Rex Lapis's gnosis."

Your (e/c) orbs sparked, "Like fight him?!"

"Yes, you can fight him." Childe nodded, "I actually have to go now. Please stay safe. Not unless you want me to come rescue you~" He winked.

Your heart raced.

You stared at Childe's disappearing figure before standing up. You didn't have to look very hard to find Aether, for he was already the talk of the town. You heard that he's at the WanMin Restaurant. You decided to go find them.
