Arlecchino: *blasting fireballs*
Lyney:*struggling*
Lynette:We have to do something to draw her fire! He won’t last much longer.
Aether:Any ideas?
Freminet:…*inhales* YOU’RE JUST LIKE GRANDMA!
……..
Arlecchino:….*slowly turns head* What?
Freminet:You heard me, Mot-
He couldn’t even finish the taunt before feeling Aether stiff arm him towards Lynette before blocking an angrily wielded scythe that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere alongside its master! When the heck did she move!? He never blinked!
Lynette:She bought it!
Aether:Bought it!? She owns stock in it! Apologize right now! I’m not fighting her like this!

Povtober 2023, Day 28 [Masterlist]
You knew The Knave for a long time, practically raising her ever since she was a child, in the house of the hearth.
You worked there as one of the Fatui, sent to be a nanny, stripped from your soldier pride, reduced to raise orphans.
Even when you weren't technically degraded in rank, still serving as a soldier, the others never considered you one. Seeing you lower than them, restlessly giving you nasty looks wherever you went.
Yet, your favourite child never disappointed you, always managing to turn your thoughts away from your awful colleagues. That person being Arlecchino.
She never knew why you were in the Fatui in the first place, you were too weak. So weak in fact that she had to protect you, even from your own coworkers, how more pathetic can you get?
And yet, even when you were fragile, you still did your best to teach her all of the Fatui norms and rules. Teaching her about the world and showing her that life isn't as horrible, as it may seem.
She was very grateful for all you've done for her.
With time as she grew more fond of you, reaching her teenage years, she couldn't imagine her life without you anymore. You were so weak, what if someone hurt you?
Always being in your vicinity, by your side or in your vision range. Even when she wasn't in the same room, she was listening to every word you said, holding to every praise like it was her lifeline.
When the other soldiers picking on you never stopped, even after many years passed, she grew in strength and rank to made sure they wouldn't have the chance to bully you again.
After her becoming a Harbinger, she held you in the highest regard, titling you Head of the House of Hearth, as she knew, you deserved this position the most. Making you higher in rank, than any of the feeble soldiers, now making them serve under you.
She often would bring new kids to the house, under your care. All whilst calling you mother, and that's exactly why the kids of the orphanage started calling you their 'Mother' and Arlecchino the 'Father'.
After all, isn't it the Father's duty to protect their kid's Mother?
I'M BACK WITH WRITING!! I enjoyed making this, I'm gonna make it longer and more detailed in the future, but I'm still proud of this one❤️
