Scaramouche was sent to investigate an island in Inazuma where reports of high elemental energy had been presented to him. Expecting something like those meteors in Mondstadt, he took some soldiers with him and sent them out to look for said object first. Except, instead of finding an object that had been causing the energy…

They found a person. A dragon, specifically.

When the information of a mortal causing the rise in elemental energy was given to him, he didn’t know whether to be surprised or impressed. So, he decided to see it for himself. He was led to the cave where they’d found you. Someone who looked a bit too fragile to be causing anyone harm. He could deal with this quickly enough.

“Hello there,” With a sickeningly sweet smile, he stepped out of a hiding spot to look at you, crouching down to where you had been seated. You seemed to have some sort of hostile reaction to just that, so in came the manipulation tactics. “Hey, calm down. I’m not an enemy..” He crooned softly, as if coaxing an animal out of its hiding.
