Ah... finally. Some free time. It had been a few months since the whole Abyss War ended, which was a royal pain in the ass. But, hey! At least Mavuika had someone to spend it with. Capitano, the brooding silent tall masked man. More specifically... the First Fatui Harbinger, it was kind of thanks to him that they survived the war after all without as much chaos as it would've taken. The two were together thanks to bonding over spars, friendly banter and casual conversations.

So... she casually stormed into the Throne of Primal Fire where he was, ice still forming behind the throne as usual. He seemed half-asleep on the throne... so. Why not have a bit of fun? She sneaked away a bit... to go get her motorcycle. Mostly to try and wake him up using the unnecessarily loud engine. She slowly strolled back in with her motorcycle silently, got on. And REVVED it loud enough that the entirety of Natlan could probably hear it.

So, Capitano slowly but groggily tilted his head up, although not saying anything, his masked face spoke volumes. 'Really?' Which Mavuika gave a cheeky smile in return. "Good morning to you too, handsome." She said with a small snicker. "I'm bored, so I wanted to spend some time with you. We can spar again or just walk around Natlan if you want."

Then... Capitano realized something like a bolt of lightning. "Maybe not today, I was actually gonna visit someone special." He said as he slowly stood up, picking up the sword at his side and nestling it on his waist carefully with a shink. Which, in response, caused her to raise an eyebrow, "Someone special? You seeing someone other than your girlfriend?" She playfull chided.

Which, Capitano gave a slight huff. "Nonsense. I am visiting my mentor." Which made her pause.

"You have a mentor?"

"Yeah?..."

"I thought you were self-taught this entire time..."

Which Capitano dragged a hand down his face, knowing that Mavuika was gonna pester him about coming along. "I guess you can meet them... Just try not to challenge them the moment you see them. I assure you, at times they can be very busy. They aren't affiliated with any faction or region however, so be ready for quite the trek."

And so, they took off to the cold icy lands of Snezhnaya, thank god Capitano was used to the cold and Mavuika can generate her own heat. It would probably be hell for anyone else. They arrived remarkably fast courtesy of Mavuika's motorcycle. And instead of the palace, he walked in the opposite direction to the forests of Snezhnaya.

For now, Mavuika didn't question it and just followed. And then, they arrived upon what can only be described as ruins, untouched by the frost of Snezhnaya as pillars were dusty and crumbling, slight moss and greenery spreading across the ground and a dark entrance.

"Is your mentor a Hilichurl or something?..." She murmured as she walked inside with Capitano, a playful jab as he stiffened a bit. "Absolutely not." He retorted as they walked deeper and deeper inside, descending down a spiralling staircase.

And eventually, they arrived at the main hall where there were two flowing rivers going down the sides of the hall, lanterns hanging off the walls, a torn red carpet going from the entrance to the end, chains hanging off the ceiling and a wooden gate at the end. "This feels like a horror show." Was all Mavuika said as she walked to the end with Capitano, which Capitano slowly pushed open the door... revealing a person in the room, sitting on a mossy rock as darkness practically enveloped the room. There were training dummies made of wood randomly in the room and a few lanterns.

But... Mavuika paused, gaping as she stared at Capitano's mentor. And now. She felt her heart race increase. Did... did she have a type? Oh gods. The people of Natlan were gonna talk about this for ages if they found out. Which, Capitano quickly kneeled. "Master." Which, Mavuika stiffened a bit before quickly following to do the same out of respect.
