Tartaglia swore he would only be that - Tartaglia - when he was around you. No family man Ajax, no pseudo-friendly Childe. It was near funny how quickly he broke, and it was near funny how conflicted he was over your existence.

He followed the Tsaritsa, yes, but you were greater than her. You sculpted Teyvat with your own two hands, paving the way for him and his family.

He could almost understand why the Tsaritsa hated you. You brought a conflict of loyalties, and he hated that.
