you hide your face with your disguise // 'cause someone filled your head with lies

[It had been a few days since the hunt for the Great Mujina Youkai had come to an end, having to say goodbye to the kids and to Yoimiya too. The ship that was to take him back to Snezhnaya would be arriving a bit later in the day, and Childe sighs as he sits back in his chair in the tent he's occupying in one such hidden Fatui camp. He had a great time in Inazuma. The country was beautiful, rich with a new culture to learn and all sorts of places to explore and fight new and more exciting enemies. All his things were in order- the gifts that he'd bought to bring back to his family, Teucer's Onikabuto in a little bug box with some food to keep it alive during the trip back- all he'd have to do is wait for the ship and he'd be on his way.

He tells himself that he'd return to the country one day, once tensions between the Fatui and the Shogunate calm down. It was a miracle that he was able to stay as long as he has, evading the Tenryou Commission. He has some people to thank for that, and he won't forget what they did for him while he's been here. Some gifts would be in order for them upon his return.

The Harbinger idly plays with a writing utensil between his fingers. He'd like to bring something from Snezhnaya for Yoimiya, too.

There's a sharp rap at his door, and Childe sighs. He doesn't really want to deal with work right now, perfectly happy reminiscing on the time he's spent in Inazuma before he leaves, but answers with a bored tone to his voice:]

Come in.

[An agent enters, bowing and standing at attention.]

Sir, we've captured a Tenryou Commission spy that was found sneaking around. We've taken her into custody and are awaiting your orders on how to deal with her.

[Childe's eyebrow raises. It should have been hard to find this camp, even by the Shuumatsuban. Somehow, doubt creeps into his mind, but stands from his chair.]

Alright, I'll deal with it myself. At least I can have one last bit of fun before I depart.

[The agent only bows once more, to lead Childe towards the prisoner. He knows better than to argue with the Harbinger, but feels sorry for the spy. The two cross the camp to another tent, the agent stopping him right before lifting the flap for his senior commander.]

She claims to be from the fireworks shop, but we've seen Tenryou soldiers stop frequently at it.

[Before he can answer, the flap is lifted to reveal a certain girl that he'd met not but a few days ago...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hehe, don't be sorry, silly. It's only natural you'd be spent after all the hard work you did.

[ one of her fingers circles around his pecs as she makes sure to put an extra emphasis on the hard work part of her statement. the man certainly did work hard, going above and beyond to make sure she's thoroughly satisfied. tartaglia has made this night one that she'll remember for the rest of her life and she couldn't be anymore grateful to be able to share such a wonderful experience with him. ]

Ah, that's right. You did spend that large amount of mora to allow us to stay here for the rest of the evening.

[ that cheeky wink causes her to giggle. oh yes, yoimiya will also never forget how he nearly made her fall over with the humble amount of five-hundred thousand mora he used as bargaining bait with the bathhouse's owner. ]

Staying here would be lovely but, you look like you could use a good night's rest. Will you be okay sleeping here?

[Look at this girl, he can't help but grin at her 'hard work' statement. Sexual innuendos aside, he ponders that question. Tartaglia hadn't planned on staying here through the morning, and in fact hadn't thought that far ahead past their current stay in the hot springs. There was still plenty more alcohol to drink, more time to spend with each other.]

Honestly, the faster I truly fall asleep, the faster morning arrives. I'm not willing to let the remainder of my time here go so easily. I'm thankful you woke me back up- I would have hated myself in the morning knowing that I'd wasted what little time I have left with you.

[Tartaglia lets his gaze fall over her, giving her a soft smile as his eyes meet her own, before they break and stare down into the water at their side. The question on his mind is selfish and he knows it, but he knows what his heart wants and the worst thing Yoimiya can say is no. An answer he's prepared for, and expects.]

Are you sure there isn't a way I could convince you to get on the boat with me tomorrow?

[A wish that he's sure can't be fulfilled, the question asked almost half jokingly. Yoimiya already made it known that she can't even really travel all that much, and he already has to move around enough for his job.]

[ for a moment, yoimiya considers taking tartaglia up on his offer. saying that she wants to go back to snezhnaya with him to have sex with him everyday had not just been simply dirty talk. she desired nothing more than to always be by his side. although they only just started dating, she's fairly certain that she's fallen deeper in love with him more than she even realizes.

unfortunately, she's sadly aware that it's nothing but a passing dream that can't be fulfilled right now. ]

I'm so sorry, Tartaglia. I truly do want to go with you. If I was capable of leaving, I would.

[ not being able to grant his wish hurts her. especially since he's willing to forgo sleep just to spend every last moment with her. tartaglia's done so much for her and she would love to do the same. it hurts to feel like she's not able to give him whatever he wants. ]

I just can't leave my dad and the shop behind.

[ it pains her to say no, yoimiya could feel her heart ache at the thought of their inevitable separation. ]

[Yeah, that was the answer he expected. The Harbinger only smiles softly and holds her closer to him regardless, the somber moment making her presence all the more meaningful. He doesn't want to leave Inazuma with her having to dwell on melancholic thoughts, so he silently resolves to do whatever he can to bring her happiness from here on out until he can no longer see her on the shore.]

I figured that would be your answer. I understand how hard it is to leave- my own father's health is declining, but I enjoy the privilege of someone helping to take care of my family while I'm away. But for you...I know you're all he's got.

[It's a trait that he adores about her, and even if he has to say goodbye tomorrow, he'd never want her to change that. It warms his heart to know that Yoimiya valued her own family as much as he values his, and he'd be lying if that didn't draw him closer to her.]

Maybe we should focus on enjoying the night rather than worrying about what hasn't yet come to pass. C'mon, I want a little more of that sake you brought with. I've hardly reached my limit and I think a little fun could be had with a few more drinks.

[He winks at her- time to party like a Snezhnayan.]

[ feelings of regret swirl around within, although her mind is telling her that it's far too soon to commit to giving up her life in inazuma to move in with tartaglia, her heart felt an immense pang of guilt at not being able to fulfill his wish. for a short moment, yoimiya's gaze downcast into the water, her normally shiny, bright eyes look a bit more gloomy than usual until she's perked backed up by the warmth of her beloved's arms. a small smile tugs on the corners of her lips as she melts into his touch and allows herself to be enveloped by him. ]

Thank you for being so kind and understanding, Tartaglia. If there's anything I can do to help your dad, let me know. I'll be happy to send any sort of medicine and herbs to your family.

[ throughout her whole life, yoimiya has only ever heard bad things about the fatui. countless people have told her that she needs to stay away from them and not get involved. however, tartaglia is different from all of them. sure, he might engage in methods that she doesn't approve of but at the end of the day, he's a kind-hearted man that puts his family first. there's a lot more to him than just his harbinger status and deep down, she knows he's a good person.

thankfully, the somber mood is lifted by the harbinger's incredible tolerance for alcohol. look at that wink... it's enough to send her into a small giggling fit. ]

Hehe, you Snezhnayans really can handle your alcohol. But you're right! We still haven't even touched the Dandelion Wine.

[ when she dragged tartaglia by his harness, she had luckily brought him close to where the drinks were still sitting at. since she's still a little tired, it takes her a minute to peel herself from his lap but she can imagine that his legs probably still feel like jelly thanks to her. slowly, she grabs the bottle of cold sake and places it in his hands while she takes a seat besides him. ]

What sort of fun did you have in mind? I do have to say, I was really impressed with how you controlled the water during our little spar.

[There's really no need for her to make an offer like that to help his family out, and he could easily tell her as such. He's got all the resources in the world at his fingertips, but it touches him nonetheless that she wants to help. So instead, he nods and gives her a soft thank you in response.

But tonight is supposed to be for their entertainment, thinking that the Dandelion Wine will surely be a special taste to accentuate their night. Tartaglia feels a small sense of longing for her to return to her place on top of him once she picks herself up to fetch the drinks, pushing himself up completely by his arms so he can sit properly and take the bottle from her. The man takes a swig from it, letting the cold liquid slide down his throat. Thankfully they bought quite a bit of alcohol...this will take a lot more than that to really get him buzzed.]

Hah. Spend more time with me and you're going to be engrossed with competition even more than you already are, if you're already thinking of our time spent together like that.

[He loves that she thinks of it that way, amused wholly by someone else likening any activity to battle. Usually, that's what he does...he knew he liked her for a reason.]

I figured you'd appreciate my mastery of my own abilities...you know, in Fontaine, I heard they have quite the waterpark that one can enjoy in the summer. I bet I could devise something similar in here...if you're not scared.

[ his ability to turn even the smallest situations into exciting competitions is one of many reasons why she finds him so attractive enthralling to be around. even if she can't travel just yet, she already knows that everyday will feel like an exciting adventure with him around. they'll be sure to cause plenty of chaos together and she couldn't wait. ]

I heard about their waterpark! I've always wanted to go to Fontaine for that reason.

[ speaking of the dandelion wine, yoimiya decides to help herself to it by opening the bottle. she takes a sip of it, enjoying the gust of sweet settling on her tongue. this is her first time trying the famous wine from mondstadt and it certainly lives up to it's name, the beverage feels refreshing to drink. somehow, she's starting to feel a little more energized thanks to the pleasant beverage.

so much so, that she looks at him with a smug grin. ]

Ha! As if I'd be scared. Your hydro powers are certainly impressive but I can't imagine you would concoct something that would actually terrify me.

[ truthfully, yoimiya is sure that the harbinger could totally conjure up a waterpark out of thin air with his powers but maybe, maybe she wants to egg him on a bit. ]

[She took the bait hook, line and sinker. The Harbinger laughs, a bit of deviousness lacing it and mischievousness playing in his eyes. He's never been a fan of the more mundane things in life, and what better than Yoimiya who'll indulge in his chaotic ideas. One day, he'll take her all around the world, and if they're lucky they'll do something in each nation that gets them kicked out of it temporarily.

Tartaglia reaches for the wine bottle in her hands, wanting to taste the famous wine from Mondstadt himself. It would be terrible if he forgot about it and Yoimiya drinks it all before he has the chance.]

All the more reason to give it a try, [he says, smirking back at her. He's no architect but he does have an imagination, and that's got to count for something right?]

Let me get a little more alcohol in me and I'll create something that those engineers in Fontaine only wish they knew how to create with all that technology they hold so dear.

[His hands are all grabby towards the Dandelion Wine. Let him have someeee]

[ they really are birds of a feather. that mischevious glint in his eyes tells her everything she needs to know, he's got a crazy plan that he will most definitely put into action. it's no secret that she's a troublemaker and meeting someone who not only knows how to have fun but even enable her mischievous behavior feels like she struck gold. tartaglia's going to make everyday life even more fun and exciting. she's very much looking forward to what other chaotic ideas he'll come up with in the future. ]

Hehe, if you say it like that, then some engineer from Fontaine will want to hire you to make their waterparks more exciting.

[ too bad he's already busy with his fatui work, maybe he could have been known as snezhnaya's most talented waterpark designer.

now, yoimiya could be cooperative and give him the bottle like a good girl (especially since he paid for it) but at the end of the day, she can be a bit of a cheeky brat at heart. there's just something about the way tartaglia's grabby hands wanting the wine makes her want to tease him a bit. so instead of heeding to his request, she hugs the bottle and sticks her tongue out at him.

the devious expression on her face says it all... try to take it from her, harbinger. ]

[He imagines for a split second what life would be like if he were to take up a profession like that. He probably wouldn't be bored, but it's still not the thrill of battle. His job is kind of great, but it's best to leave out the details why he thinks that, even though he knows she's perfectly aware of what that means. He's got to hand it to her, not many would be able to look past his position, how lucky is he.]

Perhaps, but I like what I do now.

[He says as he's trying to get it from her, but she hugs it and holds it away. There's something about how she sticks her tongue out at him that makes something flip in his mind, his eyes widening as he gets the urge to chase after her. Tartaglia's eyes shine, betraying that she's managed to hook him in on her scheme, and he tries again to get his hands on the bottle in her arms. He presses himself against her side, purposely pushing his face in close to hers and will move with her if she tries to put distance between them.]

You little devil, didn't anyone teach you to share...

[He laughs, debating if he should tickle her to try to get it away...]

[ a sense of excitement fills her heart as yoimiya catches the shine in tartaglia's eyes, she's pleased to see him be an eager participant in her little game. the harbinger will eventually receive his coveted wine but she figures that it's more fun to make him work for it first.

since he did her a favor by bringing his face close, she decides to indulge him a bit. she takes another quick sip from the bottle before pressing her lips against his for an open mouth kiss, allowing him to get a brief taste of the sweet beverage on her tongue. unfortunately for him, it's only for a short moment that he gets to savor the flavor. in a flash, she breaks away from the kiss, lips curving into a devilish smile in an attempt to further provoke him. ]

Mm, normally I would agree that sharing is caring but...

[ yoimiya has the disadvantage of being in tartaglia's natural element— the water. so, she knows it's futile to escape from his grasps. since she can't move too far away, she simply turns her whole body around, her back facing him as she continues to hold onto the bottle of wine as if she were a dragon protecting it's precious treasure. ]

I feel like being a bit greedy. You did a great job picking this one out, it's so sweet and refreshing that I can't help but want to have it all to myself.

Edited 2023-02-10 02:34 (UTC)

[The kiss stuns him for a moment, overcome by the sweet taste of the wine on her lips, returning it with a small satisfied moan before she breaks away. It's all too short, leaving him wanting now for not only the wine, but how she tastes on his tongue as well. It's almost unfair how effective it is, playing right into her hands as he taunts him with that smile of hers, determination to get a hold of the wine so he can have some filling him in addition to craving more of her own flavor.

She thinks she can keep it from him this way, but Tartaglia thinks she's underestimating him.]

That isn't fair, I might not have the chance to try some again for quite a while.

[Pressing himself up against her back, he lets his arms wrap around her as his hands trail over her body. He can't get to her chest yet, but there's plenty of other places he'll touch instead. The Harbinger lets his fingers trace lines across her thigh, heading upwards to brush past her groin and to her stomach. Meanwhile, his head cranes down to pay special attention to her neck, pressing kisses to it as he whispers against her skin.]

Let me have a little bit, c'mon, [he coaxes, his other hand coming up to try to slip his fingers under her own around the bottle.] I promise to buy you more before I leave.

[He plants a few more kisses against her jawline, if he can just loosen her up a little he can get at it! That's the plan.]

Can't you just buy another bottle for yourself since you're so ric— ooh...!

[ admittedly, yoimiya is somewhat caught off guard the moment she feels herself being enveloped by his warm arms. as always, the man continues to surprise her. she had been bracing herself for a cheeky tickle attack but is instead, met with a wave of pleasure as his fingers glide across her skin. he's succesful in drawing out an involuntary moan from her throat. ]

You're quite the devil yourself, Tartaglia. Using dirty tactics like this is so unfair. Aah...

[ the harbinger's effective strategy works like a charm. each and every brush of his lips against her neck sends a jolt down her spine, making her easily succumb to his will. as much as she wants to fight back the urge to give in, her body feels as though it's betraying her, choosing instead to melt into his tender kisses and is very much enjoying the attention. thoughts of hogging the dandelion wine is instead replaced with desire for her beloved, yearning for even more of his affection.

in truth, yoimiya craves his taste just as much as his own desires. with every kiss, her demeanor changes from a greedy dragon to a mewling kitten. as he's hard at work indulging her, the grip she has on the wine bottle starts to loosen just as his fingers slide underneath her. ]

All's fair in love and war, Yoimiya.

[It's a gentle reminder to her that he'll use whatever tactics he pleases to get what he wants. There's no shame coming from him in that regard, knowing full well she'd melt underneath his fingertips. Did he think to tickle? Absolutely. But this is harder to fight against, and now that he knows she's likes a challenge, he's always willing to give it to her. The Harbinger drinks in her soft sighs as he continues his work, switching to the other side of her neck to even out the attention he's giving, soft sweeps of his hand keeping her mind on him instead of the wine.

Tartaglia grips the bottle as her own hand loosens around it, but he doesn't stop quite yet- a finger comes up to push against her jaw to angle her head towards him so he can capture her lips with his own while she sighs for him, dropping his jaw to take her in fully as he tastes the sweetness of the wine once more.

Meanwhile, he's beginning to slip the bottle out from underneath her grip. One hand stealing the wine, the other one massaging her body. Forget about the wine, Yoimiya, just let me have it.]

[ tartaglia truly is a man that is after her own heart, they haven't known each other all that long but it feels as though he's already in tune with the innerworkings of her mind, an expert at understanding her desires. the harbinger readily accepted her challenge and managed to surpass her own expectations. a tickle onslaught would have been too obvious. instead, his method of fighting back is proving to be much more difficult than being tickled.

but she's loving every single moment of it. he's made this challenge way more exciting than anticipated.

his continous attention to her body signals her downfall, she hitches a breath before letting out a sharp gasp at the wonderful sensation of his lips moving to the other side of her neck. before yoimiya even gets a chance to indulge in the switch, the sounds of her whimpering get cut off by the sudden kiss. there's no hesitation as she eagerly parts her lips open, giving him access to slip his tongue inside to further taste the sweet flavor that lingers in her mouth.

as if yoimiya was under the harbinger's spell, she totally forgets about the wine in her hands. no longer did she care about being the victor in their challenge, she would much rather indulge herself in the taste of his lips. a moment of weakness, the bottle slides out of her arms and right into tartaglia's hands. ]

[The taste of Yoimiya on his tongue intoxicates him, but he hasn't forgotten what he's here to do. He lets his tongue dance with her own for a few moments more, eliciting a soft purr of satisfaction into their kiss before he finally pulls away. If he could make her look like this every moment of the day it would be worth skipping out on on missions just to spend that time with her instead. Oh, what will the Harbingers say when they find out about her...

It's tempting to continue to shower Yoimiya with all the love and attention she deserves, but he's managed to slip the bottle right out of her hands and into his own. Licking his lips once, his eyes shine with victory as he says one simple word to her:]

Thanks.

[And takes a swig of the bottle right in front of her, holding it up as he swallows the wine, only to break away to turn and walk in the opposite direction as he drinks again from the bottle. The smile on his face is wide, and he's glad she can't see it, but he's listening intently for her next action and words.

Probably best to take another drink now, just in case. He's not sure what she's going to do.]

[ a sense of longing overwhelms her as soon as he breaks away from the kiss. her golden eyes are filled with the utmost disappointment, looking almost betrayed that he would be so mean as to pull away just when things were starting to get a bit heated.

but then the dastardly villian takes it a step further and is so cruel as to drink the delicious wine right in front of her face, all the while licking his lips in victory. the expression of betrayal becomes even more evident as she stares at him, a pout forming on the corners of her lips and cheeks all puffed out. ~~nevermind that she was the one who started this whole mess.~~ ]

Childe, Tartaglia, Mr. Fatui Harbinger...!

[ THIS GUY.... yoimiya proceeds to use every name she knows him by because she's just that offended!

she's hot on his heels chasing after him. once the blonde is finally caught up with him, she wraps her arms around his waist, pressing her chest and chin against his back. she's latched onto him like a clingy kitten that refuses to let go. ]

Hmph. I thought you were barely able to stand just a moment ago.

[It was so hard not to laugh at her when he'd pulled away, as if he'd truly betrayed her trust. It's even funnier when she starts using all his names, but she's missing a few and he's going to tease her with them in just a second.

Her arms keep him from moving forward through the water anymore, keeping his eyes forward as she whines at him from behind. It's a lovely feeling to have her pressed up against him, her arms wrapped around him like this. He takes a second to appreciate the position he's in, even if he is in a little bit of trouble with her, before he starts to tease.]

First of all, that's Lord Harbinger, Master Childe, Lord Tartaglia...

[He takes another swig from the wine bottle, enjoying the refreshing taste of the wind on his tongue. It really does live up to its reputation.]

Second of all, I recover quickly, and nothing was going to keep me from this coveted bottle of wine.

[It's now that he looks back at her, his grin wide, and his eyes give it all away- he's loving every second of this. She looks so cute clinging to him like this, and it makes his chest buzz just at the sight of her.]

And since you were trying to steal it away from me, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

[He says that with a wink- he definitely had her in his hands, alright...]

[ why does he sound so pretentious when calling himself 'lord' and 'master'? at the very least, the pompous sounding names turns her frown upside down and she starts to giggle at how silly he is. ]

There's no way I'm gonna be able to remember all of that.

[ yoimiya says as a joke, she'll definitely file his titles in the back of her mind as ammunition to tease him with later. besides, it's not like he has another name that she has yet to learn about, right? right??? ]

Oh, do you now? I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that you recover fast, since you're a Harbinger and all. I'll keep that in mind for later.

[ what does she mean by this? don't worry about it—

the innuendo doesn't go unnoticed, he certainly has a knack for making them and it never fails to make her chuckle everytime. she hums in amusement while nuzzling her face into his back, her pouty mood slowly dissipating. tartaglia's the winner of this round for now. ]

Since you won fair and square, I guess I have no choice but to concede. It's quite good, isn't? It has a nice sweet flavor to it buuut it's not as sweet as me.

[ this is coming from the girl who was literally going to greedily drink all the dandelion wine for herself, an absolute sweetheart for sure.]

[Having gotten to know her a little better now, he knows shes definitely going to keep that in mind for later. And he's excited to see what she does, always happy and ready for any kind of fun unexpected situation their actions might bring them to. Yoimiya is one of the most fun people he's met, and it's hard to deny how perfect she is for him. Maybe she'll even manage to keep him out of trouble.

But they'll see about that later.

Tartaglia turns himself around, so he can face her instead of having a cute, pouty Yoimiya having to burrow into his back, smirking down at her.]

Oh? Would such a sweet, innocent girl try to hog this all to herself?

[But he's already handing the bottle back to her, encouraging her to drink more for herself. He wants some more Fire-Water now, because he's only going to get a buzz from this wine.]

I understand...the Dandelion Wine isn't quite as strong as our Fire-Water, and I'd want to stick to the wine too if I found Snezhnayan liquor a little too overpowering.

[He says knowing full well she handled it just fine in the restaurant earlier that night.]

[ Oh shoot, she got called out. ]

Well, a sweet gal like myself deserves the sweetest of beverages because I'm just that sweet.

[ How many times is she going to use the word sweet in one sentence?

Pitiful attempt of an excuse aside, her face expression brightens up when he gives the wine back to her, not even waiting a single second to take another swig out of it. But then she hears the next thing he says and in a flash, she's back to puffing her cheeks out. ]

Excuse you, Master Harbinger. [ Did she mix the titles up on purpose? Maybe. ] Is your memory going bad because you're already getting drunk? I seem to recall that I handled it just fine for my first time trying it.

[ Now she wants to drink more fire-water just to prove him wrong. This is definetely not going to end well... ]

Hah!

[He laughs, walking over to grab the bottle of Fire-Water for himself, taking a nice long and deep drink from it. Now that's the stuff, enjoying the burn as it goes down and settles in his belly. That's going to hit him pretty soon in addition to the wine he drank, and he's definitely looking forward to feeling really good soon.]

You can't even get my title correct currently. It's Lord Harbinger, Yoimiya. I think the wine has already taken hold of you, haha.

[Returning to her, he bends down to kiss her briefly, pressing his mouth to hers with a little more pressure and greed before he breaks, handing her the Fire-Water. He grins at her, loving how she challenges him so, and he's interested in seeing how far she'll take this. Will she drink herself silly just to make a point? He's wondering...]

You're welcome to try to prove me wrong. How well can you keep up with a Snezhnayan?

[He's really not...helping this...]

[ Before Yoimiya could even tell him that she finds his title is far too pretentious to care, she's cut off by the delicious sensation of his lips meeting with hers. The flavor of the Fire-Water is strong, even just from tasting it on his tongue. ]

Okay, Lord Childe. [ Yeah, she's definitely doing this on purpose. ] I guess I'm gonna have to step up to the plate and make sure you eat your words.

[ Accepting the bottle from his hands, she takes his bait hook, line and sinker. She brings the Fire-Water to her lips and chugs it down, feeling the burn hit the back of her throat. The alcohol truly is unlike any other sake she's ever had, while she does enjoy the taste, it's very strong and drinking it directly from the bottle only proves how bold the flavor really is. Everything about Snezhnaya truly is on a whole new level.

Once she's done, she wipes her lips and hands the beverage back to him. She doesn't drink all of it and makes sure she leaves plenty for Tartaglia to enjoy as well. Somehow, even after drinking as much as she did, Yoimiya is still standing but a noticable splash of red starts to color her cheeks. ]

Haha, see? I'm perfectly fiiine.

[ There's definitely a hint of a slur as she speaks. ]

[Lord Childe really isn't incorrect so he accepts that version of it, inwardly laughing at her obvious mixing of his titles. So bold, and really he loves that about her, not afraid to say anything, or really be afraid of anything at all. He does remember how she was yelling her head off while captured by some of his soldiers. What a gal, truly.

Watching her chug Fire-Water is almost too much for him, his eyes widening with amusement. He really must of struck a nerve with her, wondering how much more she'd drink before she'd give up and never want to touch the stuff again. He takes the bottle, eyes still wide, noticing how her cheeks flush from the alcohol. Oh.

Haha. That was sort of slurred.]

Are you, now?

[He quickly takes another deep drink from the bottle before he just ever so lightly pushes on her shoulder. Wonder what her balance is like right now.]

Yeaaaaup! [ ??? ] I'm one hundred AND ten percent fine!

[ Maybe if you take the one hundred part of her statement out, it's more accurate...

As if trying to prove a point, she proudly stands there with her hands on her hips, attempting to make it seem like she's unphased by the Fire-Water. (It's not working.) Even just a quick tap of Tartaglia's fingers makes her body wobble, swaying from side to side, left and right. The Harbinger's sobriety test manages to prove his point, even just the light push is enough for Yoimiya to lose her balance, falling into the water while landing on her butt. ]

Heeeey! What was that for Master, Lord, Commander... [ Where did she get this from??? ] Childe, Tartaglia?
