Chapter Text

Childe had been watching Lumine for a while now. Seems like his prey enjoying herself while waiting for her to finish her own business with that Man.

He seems Irritated when someone get close to his pray, After all his duty is to get the Descender on Palm holding her hand while struggling and give It to the Tsaritsa. Childe act naturally to not get suspected.

"Ugh.... Lumine you're always careless"

The Man speak 

"Tsk....That voice... It's sounds familiar.."

"I'm really Sorry Wanderer...I swear I pay you back!"

Lumine spoke, seems like she's on trouble

"Knew It...It's Scaramouche"

Tartaglia eyes darken while he's looking at them, he got jealous when someone else get to close to his prey.

"Why is Scaramouche here..."

"....No....I have to concentrate on my prey first... but..."

"They're to close, why do they look so...happy...?"

.....I have to kill that Bitch.....

I'm the only who can see her smile...

Feel....

Laughing....

And to be mine....

"Hey! Wanderer, Thanks again I swear It won't happen again"

She flustered 

"Sigh.....Be careful next time will you"

He bonk her head and turned away

"Y-Yes I won't goodbye!"

Lumine waved, flustered and leave 

Childe start's following Wanderer and let his prey leave. Wanderer went to the Strange tree and sigh's

"I never expected a Fatui dog would follow me here...but in my surprise, why would the Tsaritsa let the leash unleashed? Hmm~ wonder, If it's other purpose or...."

He stop as Childe walking towards him and stop.

"Ah~ yes of course~...The girl."

He turned a smirk 

".....You sure always bring my blood boiled. I never expected you to be here too. What's the Nahida student doing here huh? You supposed to be in Sumeru."

He said in a Unpleasant voice

"That's question is non of your business..."

He said coldly

"It's seems like your here for the girl cause the Tsaritsa said so... But there's more than that...."

Wanderer start's looking at Childe in the eye he sees a deep ocean that craving for blood and no shine in he's eye but only darkness.

"You've always read my mind...your sure do smart, little cat....and yet your in my way"

He chuckled darkly 

"...STAY OUT."

He said in a very dangerous like tone, this isn't a warning but a sentence. 

Chapter Text

"Do you really think Lumine would accept if she ever find's out"

Wanderer looks at him glaring like he knows what will happen to him. Childe didn't care what he said, He's eye became so dark like the abyss seeking for blood and flesh. If someone took he's Interest then he will take it.

"That's doesn't matter to me, SHE WILL ACCEPT ME"

He pointed out he's water blade Infront of him

"I'm here to send her to Sumeru and not wasting my time with a Fatui dog barking for a girl"

Wanderer rolled his eye and back away from him

"But...Just a little warning. I know all your motives.

After Childe knowing it, he knows he's in huge trouble. If Wanderer ever Reports him, He's kicked out from the school and make the Tsaritsa disappointed. And worst of all He will never see her again.

Tsk

This Puppet...

He must know he's place...

First of all why is here for my Lumi...

This Bitch....

MUST BE ELIMINATED.

Before Wanderer could leave, Childe blocked his way and asked.

"Why are you for here for HER?"

"Now really, are you expecting me to fight you? Don't make me laugh—Even If you try to kill me the people here in this building would know."

Wanderer walks away unafraid and leave, Childe only stared at him like a wolf glaring.

If I can't remove you from the shadows, then I make my self the one will swallow the shadows itself.
