[Dottore definitely came prepared. Those Fatui soldiers wouldn't stand a chance against him, but they're not there to keep him away from the Doctor or Avin- they're there for Yoimiya. Naturally, Childe wouldn't make a move unless absolutely necessary against his own comrade, and aside from the damage that's already been done to Avin, the girl seems like she's "safe" for the time being. As long as it doesn't go against the Tsaritsa's wishes, he has no authority to interfere with anything Dottore is doing, as it's bad enough he's already undermining him in this operation.
And in turn, those soldiers know not to harm Yoimiya or else Childe will step in. He's watching carefully as they keep her from Avin, fingers twitching in anticipation that he would have to draw his weapons in case things went south. Luckily for the soldiers, they stay disciplined enough not to hurt her, and they're also lucky Ajax keeps his own cool and doesn't cut them all down for doing such a terrible thing to a kid. His blood boils just looking at Avin and the Doctor's smug smile, but there isn't much he can do here as a lower ranked Harbinger.
Thankfully, Yoimiya recognizes when to back off. He stands, poised to move if necessary, but he has to be patient and see where this goes.]
My dear, do you think I didn't do some research into you the moment you revealed you could see the Aranara? There were plenty of Fatui in Sumeru to keep track of your movements. It would have been a lot harder, if you weren't accompanying the Traveler at the time, to get that information. We tend to keep an eye on them, don't we, Childe?
[Cue a deep frown from Tartaglia- using his comrade to collect information on Yoimiya, that burns him in a way he's never experienced before.]
Hah. The lowest possible way to get to Yoimiya, how unsurprising. Watch your next actions, Dottore, or I'll make you regret using my own comrade to hurt my girlfriend. You've already crossed one line with me today, and you're on the precipice of crossing another. And that's something I simply won't tolerate. But since Avin's here for one purpose, let's get that purpose over with so you can let her go. Avin, you can see Aralauka, yes?
[Aralauka, though shaken, steps out enough so that the little girl can get a good view of him. This was his role here, and he hasn't forgotten, no matter how scared he is.]
Yes, I see him. He's standing right next to Yoimiya's feet.
[She points to Aralauka, who is trying his hardest not to run. This is so terrifying, so there's no telling what could happen.]
There. Is that good enough for you? If so, let her go. She has nothing else to do with this.
[The Doctor hums happily, like he's satisfied with Yoimiya's performance.]
Oh yes, perfect, and thank you for bringing him to me. Will the Aranara come with voluntarily? Or is there more debating to be done?
