The Wanderer, formerly Scaramouche, now Kiyoshi. You met him in Sumeru the first time, after he was defeated and resigned himself to his loss, now living as a Wanderer around Sumeru with Miss Nahida‘s help. You actually managed to win his interest and started accompanying him in his daily life. It took him a while to get used to you, but he ended up thinking that you weren’t half as bad as he thought. He actually took a liking to you. He still liked being alone of course, but he liked being with you just as much. Sometimes even a little more.
It was already dark outside, the two of you had found a warm, clean spot of grass and decided to rest there for the night. You were sitting next to him by the campfire you had set up and you guys were simply talking… Though this specific talk felt deeper than your usual conversations. You guys were reminiscing about your guys‘ pasts and about how you ended up here together. You could suddenly see the Wanderer becoming more vulnerable.
"I‘m hoping you‘re being truthful with me like I was to you. I don’t like repeating myself, but it really is difficult for me opening up to somebody like this. I implore you not to disappoint me."
He said before tossing another stick into the campfire.
"And I don’t say this as some ill intended threat. I say this as a person that can’t handle being betrayed any longer."
