"Let me do your hair."

Smiling, you nod at Osial words. He walks toward you with a box of hair accessories in his hand. Hydra is the one who's supposed to be in charge of your hair, but there is some problem in the northern region that Hydra needs to take care of. So here Osial is, tying your hair here and there, adding ornaments that matches your hair colour.

"Will you be alright? You and The Tsaritsa..." He speaks up after a while, his hand skillfully finishing your hair. You look up to the mirror, satisfied with the result. Osial is indeed skilled with his hand, not including the various methods of killing.

There is a moment of silence before you shake your head, feeling unsure. Osial sighs, he knows what happened between you and Tsaritsa, he reads your journal after all. You turn your head to see the man behind you, silently chuckling at his expression.

"Don't worry, she can't kill me."

Osial doesn't answer, and instead leans his head on your shoulder, purposely breathing on your neck. The unexpected move makes you squeak, shivers running down your back.

He laughs, "I see your neck is still sensiti- ACK!"

You smack his head and cover your neck, cheeks flushing in red. The smack didn't seem to work as he seems to laugh even harder at you trying to hide your red face.

"What's with that expression, sweetheart? Feeling embarrassed?" He asks smugly.

"Bastard..." You murmured.

"Master, Sir Osial?" A voice echoed as a bright bird perched near the window. Phoenix greets both of you, silently wondering if he had come at the wrong time when he saw both you and Osial.

"You've arrived,” You greet, trying to calm yourself down. The bird just nods as the answer.

Bright flames shroud Phoenix, transforming him into a form of a man that represents himself very well. Blond hair that shines under the sun, a pair of fiery ruby eyes, and clear skin. Everyone would agree that he is a handsome man.

"Master, the portal is ready."

"I can see it, Phoenix,” you click your tongue. As you get up, you feel a pair of arms wrap around your neck.

"Cheer up," he whispers. "I'll cook you dinner."

Smiling at his statement, you nod. Give him a peck on the cheek, you smirk when you see how his smug expression changes into a bashful red. You walk toward the portal, teasingly blowing him a goodbye kiss, leaving Osial frozen and speechless.

If he knows that your weakness is your neck, then you know damn well that a kiss on the cheek melts him.

"M'lady!"

Childe greets you when you come out from the portal in Snezhaya along with another Fatui member. You usually don't need a portal because you can teleport, but Phoenix is with you and he can't do that. You take a deep breath before exhaling, a small puff of air drifting from your mouth. Is it just you, or the is winter in Snezhaya is getting colder?

"Childe," you greet him uninterested. It's your first time seeing him in full winter clothing. He is still noticeable as a Fatui member though. Childe offers his hand to you, a way of Snezhnayan men offering to escort a lady. You take his hand and begin to walk with him to the Zapolyarny palace.

Childe in another hand feels his heart beating fast in his ribcage, like it was trying to break free from his prison of bones. You are above gorgeous; no words can describe your beauty in his mind.
