[ the logical part of her brain is telling her this is a bad idea, that getting involved with anyone aligned with the fatui would only end in trouble. but that's not what her heart yearns for, she wants to be with him, spend time with one another and simply be happy together. she doesn't see view him as childe, the eleventh harbinger but in her eyes, he's tartaglia, the kind-hearted man that she fell head over heels for. ]

Yes...!

[ his request makes her beyond ecstatic, it feels like her heart is bursting with joy. the rush of excitement gets to her as yoimiya suddenly moves in close, wrapping her arms around his chest and pulling him in for a warm embrace. ]

I'll be more than happy to indulge you. I want this to continue as well.

[ unfortunately, she knows that keeping this a secret from her friends will be for the best. she could already picture the concerned looks on ayaka and thoma's faces should they learn that she's been seeing a harbinger. not to mention itto would unintentionally stir up trouble by not keeping his mouth shut and blabbing to the entire world. ]

I'll always welcome you back to Inazuma with open arms and return all of your letters. I... I can't make any promises because of my dad but I also want to visit you in your home country one day.

[ family is important to him as well, so she knows tartaglia will be nothing but understanding in regards to her father. however, there is one thing she can promise him for sure: ]

Even if we're thousands of miles apart from each other, you'll always be in my heart.
