Tartaglia always looked up to you. You were the Tsaritsa herself. The Cryo archon. You were the reason why he had become what he is today.

He used to be weak and lost. But then you were the light that guided him. He has made a silent promise, the day you brought him under your wing to protect him, he promised himself to forever stay loyal to you. His own savior.

That's why, the first thing he did after his defeat in Liyue by that meek traveler, he immediately came to you. He was all hurt, barely treated medically right as he didn't even let the other Harbingers of a lower rank heal him.

He knew you would be disappointed in him. But under that hard facade you put in front of others, he knew there was a softer side in you. You were like a cracked wall. Ready to open up and let your feelings pour out from you like a stream of water.

He rushed towards you, dropping to his knees as he laid his head on your lap, daring to grab your hand as he put it on his hair, wanting to feel your soft touch.

Oh how he missed this, the feeling of your touch, your body that despite being the Cryo Archon herself, your temperature was actually quite warm. He loved that about you.

"Don't tell me anything yet. Don't scold me. Just please, give me the warmth I was yearning for so long. I was gone to Liyue for a long time. Caress me. Touch me my love. Don't let go."

He buried himself in your lap. He doesn't care if his body is aching at being on his knees. He missed this so much. Missed your face. Missed his lovely partner, which was the Tsaritsa herself.

Oh he just wanted to run around and scream that you and him are together for who knows how long. But he can't. Shouldn't. So him and you will sadly have to continue this relationship in secret.

But he doesn't mind. Not really. Nobody else gets to watch your true self. Your soft and loving one. He loves that he is the only one allowed to touch you. The others can only watch and admire from afar. Sucks to be them right?

Tartaglia is a possessive but a lucky man for having you after all. You better not forget that. Ever.
