the jingles of his hat ran through my ears. the noise rather soft but seemed louder in my head.
" so i haven't properly introduced myself yet."
a devilish smile on his face.
" i'm scaramouhe also known as the balladeer, sixth of the fatui harbingers, your turn."
i hesitate before responding.
" kamisato y/n, youngest daughter of the kamisato clan."
scaramouche chuckled. eyeing my form from across the room. sadistic bastard, these ropes are killing me slowly and before he can brutally murder me i'll be dead already in my current position.
" so how old are you then, y/n?"
" well isn't 'youngest' sufficient enough for you? besides how is my age even remotely significant."
" i presume it's not, i was just curious that's all. do you know what this is?"
in his hand a glowing chess piece glistened under the light.
" no, sorry."
" you're so naïve i find it quite humouring. it's a gnosis, it belongs to the shogun."
scaramouche's tone was always as cold as ice. reminding me of sneznaya and dragonspine in mondstat. it never changed no matter how civil he was trying to be.
his efforts could never make up for the many people he had killed without any particular reason.
" so? and why do you have it balladeer?"
" secret."
his response was backed up by another evil laugh, reminding me of the other fatui lady's cackle. signora was it?
i couldn't bear to be in front of him.
" oh wait. you shouldn't call me balladeer anymore, i'm supposedly meant to bring this back to the tsaritsa but i don't especially feel like following her orders."
my face literally turned into a 'huh' emoji. so this absolute idiot was dragging me into his mess, hell naw. why should i be involved with the cryo archon?
" let me get this straight. you're running away with a gnosis and you intended for me to go along with this wild goose chase? i do have a life to go back to y'know and untying these ropes for a start would make my life that much easier."
scaramouche walked a couple feet closer to me.
" your a keen analyst. that was what i originally had in mind but i decided not to go through with it."
