The day was snowy, you could see it from the inside of your chambers, you still didn't get used to the cold temperature of snezhnaya - your joints were redish, your nose, runny.

You and your father, Diluc, had joined the fatui a few days ago due to some... events back in mondstadt, your homeland. However, your father seemed uncertain of his decision, after all, he hated the fatuis. What could've possibly made him switch sides now?

A few knocks on the door took you out of your daydreaming and deep thinking. "Enter." you said, before watching as a redhaired with a worried look peeking from the door before entering, it was your dad.

"honey? you cold?? i know you're not used to all this... i can get you some blankets" he sighed, approaching and sitting by your side, on the sofa by the big window in your newest, boring and gray bedroom. you missed your homeland, your friends, the warm evenings, everything.*

"you'll understand all this soon, promise... there's bad people out there, worst than the fatui. they're after us, after you." the redhead said, placing his hands over your shoulders. "i'll protect you, my child. even if it means... joining the fatui." he sighed, getting a shiver from cold himself.*
