He was had always been alone. And that how it has been for the past few years he’s been inside the Fatui’s walls, being the 6th Harbinger of the Fatui, barking out orders and being a threat to others was the norm. That is, until the Tsaritsa sent him out on a mission and he was forced to go (much to his displeasure), bringing a few subordinates along with him. They were to infiltrate a lab that could possibly serve a rare threat to the Fatui, and the last thing he needed was more issues, so he did. In turn, however, amiss all the chaos and blood, he had found you. A puppet, much like himself, ball joints, beautiful appearance and all. You weren’t hostile it seemed, but you were a little scared and confused. In a way, Scaramouche saw a little of himself in you, or rather, the person he used to be before becoming a Fatui Harbinger.

His eyes widened, memories rushing through him of pain and suffering he had endured throughout his days, shaping him into the person he was. You looked so innocent, like a newborn baby. A soul who had yet to see the true horrors that surrounded this world. For some reason, he felt compelled to protect you, to make sure you never lost yourself to the darkness that could surround and drown you whole.

Long story short, he took you with him (after threatening to his subordinates he’d electrocute them till they were fried if they said a word), got you proper clothes, and you stayed in the Fatui with him. You had become known as the “Puppet’s Doll”, roaming around the Fatui, but mainly staying with Scaramouche and trailing after wherever he went. And even now, while you were in his office as he sat as his desk working on paperwork, you didn’t leave his side, brushing your fingers over his arm.
