[And just like that, Tartaglia watches his girlfriend's burning passion come right back to the surface. He swears, looking at her, that there was something off that was going on inside of her head that he's unaware of, but he shakes that feeling off for the moment to concentrate on the more pressing matter at hand. Seems that Yoimiya was aware that there was a danger to letting Dottore get a hold of an Aranara, and he's glad he didn't have to say anything for her to catch on. That's a skill that she'll do well to nurture, if she's going to be around the Fatui for any length of time. They're all snakes, as far as he's concerned.
Tartaglia stays silent for the moment, as Pantalone interjects. Dottore hadn't counted on her heart of gold, and he knows that it's bad enough for her that she probably already feels like she's betraying those creatures. He understands- it's the least she can do to make sure that he doesn't abuse them. Good choice, Childe thinks. Dottore isn't known for being warm.
He nods to Yoimiya, not questioning her decision on the matter. It's her body and her mind, so he won't push her to do something she won't be alright with, turning with her to go. Suddenly, the Doctor's cold voice rings out from behind them, almost with an authority to get them to stop.]
Heheheh, so you're concerned for their safety. Is that all? I suppose I can be accommodating to your request.
[Tartaglia turns, eyeing the Doctor, before his gaze sweeps over to Regrator. His glance asks the other Harbinger, "Is he being serious? You're the one here who works closely with him. This isn't a trick?"]
I've been waiting a long time to be able to study those creatures, [Dottore continues,] and it would be a waste to let this opportunity go by. What would I have to do to assuage your concerns?
If this is a trick...
[Childe's voice comes out as a growl, a warning to the Doctor not to mess with Yoimiya. He won't hesitate to use force, and Dottore knows it, but the senior Harbinger still feels like he has the upper hand.]
It's not a trick, [he responds quickly, cutting Tartaglia off.] I'm being sincere. Now let the young lady speak.
