A/N: This is going to be based off of MY version of the KoF Headquarters because it's so tall and why would the offices be on the first floor? The entire layout doesn't make sense and the HQ hasn't been updated sooooo...yeah.

TLDR: The first floor of the HQ in game will be on the second floor.

It was a short walk to the headquarters. They didn't confiscate your blade for some reason, so you held it in hand as a precaution. 

"Athos, Porthos." 

The knight in front of you was obviously someone of high status, because the two guards saluted.

"Sir!" They said in unison. Twins, by the looks of them. They glanced you over, wariness creasing their faces.

"At ease." The knight continued his path up the stairs, you following close behind. The brown doors opened, and you gasped slightly. Porcelain checkered floors, engravings on the wall, a gold crest. You struggled to take it all in. When was the last time you've stepped foot in a building?

"Keep moving." The guard behind you gave you a shove. You stumbled a bit from the sudden contact before regaining your composure. Walking with a look of disdain, you generated a small orb of electro between your fingers. With a flick, it hit the knight, paralyzing him. He grunted, though you didn't bother to turn around.

"Keep moving." You said with a smirk.

The other knight stayed behind, wondering what to do with their new statue.

"My my, quite the troublemaker, are we?" The blue haired knight said, watching the whole ordeal as you caught up to him. You hummed in response. "Perhaps," You stopped beside him. "Or perhaps, you're just incompetent." You resumed your route up the first flight of stairs, pausing at the top. Glancing over your shoulder, you waited for him to continue your escort.

He chuckled lightly, and led you to the right.

"So, who wanted to meet me?" 

You were in an office, similar to the internal aesthetic of the headquarters. A polished wooden desk, seating, some writing materials. It was neatly messy. Though, there wasn't much else. Personal items, achievements, or even a name card, none of them were present. It felt... so detached.

You were jerked out of your thoughts when he replied, "We'll get to that. Soon."

The knight circled around the desk, gesturing to the chair across from him. "Have a seat." You sat and leaned back casually. You weren't fazed. How could you be, when an interrogation was expected?

He gave you an easy smile, seating himself. "I'm sure you know, but a few questions would be in order." You closed your eyes, feeling a bit sleepy. "Interesting, no objections?" You smiled lazily in response.

The knight cleared his throat. "Right then, just a few simple questions, don't worry." He was clearly trying to make this less intimidating. "Let's start with your name."

"L/N" You replied. Your name wasn't known for anyone other than your... Acquaintances. But you didn't want to take the risk.

He nodded. "Okay, L/N, where are you from?"

"Nowhere really. I'm a traveler." The best lies were always mixed with truth.

"Vision bearer.... No place to stay?" 

You shrugged. Vision wielders were supposedly favored by the gods. You must've been an exception.

He hummed to himself. "Alright, what are you doing in Mondstadt? Climbing the walls, specifically."

You opened one eye, giving him a plaintive look. "I'm hungry."

He looked at you with mirth. "Oh? Well, your actions are a bit extreme to just be looking for a quick meal. Unless of course..." He leaned forward slightly.

"You've got a secret?"
