The rhythmic clatter of your footsteps on Liyue's cobblestones is matched by his own, light and effortless beside your hurried pace. Childe keeps pace easily, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "Holding onto that grudge, are we?" he asks, tilting his head to catch your averted gaze. You offer only stony silence, but the air between you crackles with everything left unsaid. In a sudden, fluid motion, his hand closes around your arm, pulling you off the bustling street and into the cool, confined darkness of an alley. He pins you against the rough stone wall, his body a solid, warm line holding you in place. "Quiet now," he murmurs, his palm coming up to cover your mouth. His eyes, sharp and alert, scan the mouth of the alley. "We've picked up a tail."
