No, no, you didn't need to alert them, none of them need to tackle me, please-

Today was a very strange day.
A child, one looking no older than 10-13 years old, seems to have fallen into the Fortress of Meropide. There wasn't a hole in the Fortress as people checked, witnesses just claimed they saw a boy fall down from the ceiling while screaming bloody murder all the way down. There were no records of the boy as a prisoner, nor even just records of the boy in Fontaine in general.
Said boy is currently in the infirmary with Sigewinne, a bruise on his head after hitting the ground, and is still knocked unconsious.
Today was a very strange day, indeed..
[@insectking-beastlord ]
It was one of those days huh.
Once he was done documenting this incident he will go and check the infirmary personally.
Prison was no place for a kid, he knows first hand why. Although he did his best to reform the place, it's still a long way towards what he envisions as a place of redemption.
He trusts that if something is up Sigewine will let him know right away.
He hopes it's just something related to a leyline disorder since the Fortress is right on top the primordial sea and not something worse...
The child woke up after a few hours, and was rightfully wary and cautious of his surroundings. Thankfully, unlike a normal child, the kid didn't really scream. He was only suspisciously squinting at Wriothesley and Sigewienne. He squinted at the two, as if thinking they looked funny, before he asked,
' ' ...Who are you. ' '
[@lordincognito ]
He shared a look with the nurse asking in an unspoken manner Is there something on my face or something? Then turned his head towards the young boy in front of the them and spoke.
"I'm the administrator of the fortress you're currently in and through which ceiling you've fallen down from. You may call me Wriothesley"
After introducing himself he pointed out towards the melusine "This is Sigewine, our head nurse and the one who took care of your wounds. Don't be fooled by how her species looks she is more capable than many other nurses i've seen around"
🩺🐰: "Thank you for the introduction, Your Grace" the small nurse replies "Now I believe it's time for our guest to introduce himself as well"
"Only if he feels comfortable to do so. It's not exactly pleasant to wake up alone in an unknown place and here I speak from experience" the Duke replies.
"Say kid, you seem quite calm for the situation you're in. Do those type of occurences happen often?" the man asks.
' ' Falling from the ceiling? Happened once or twice before. But waking up to a strangers? A first. ''
The boy says, although not breaking eye contact. He doesn't want to take chances just incase they try to do somethung funny.
And it seems like the kid isn't all too willing to share his name yet.
' ' Was there anyone else who fell with me? Blonde hair, red eyes? ' '
The boy suddenly asks.
[@lordincognito ]
He listened patiently to the kid. He didn't want to push for information just yet as the boy was most probably on edge regarding the whole situation.
He doesn't blame him, it kinda reminds him of how he woke up in the hospital after his crime. He knows the key to success here is patience.
The second question makes him furrow his brows in worry. One lost kid here was bad already. He doesn't want to take chances of another one getting lost and running into a potential dangerous situation.
"You were the only one who fell through from what was reported to me. Hit your head pretty bad too which is why you're in the infirmary in the first place"
Taking a look towards the rest of the fortress then back at the boy he continued "I'll have my most reliable guards search the place again. If there's another person in your situation here I would like to make they're safe from any inmates and if they have any wounds to have them treated as soon as possible"
' ' .. Shin Yoosung. That's her name. ' '
The boy admits, quietly. Shifting uncomfortably in his seat at he reluctantly gives up her name. If she's here with him then it'd be best not to make her worry.
' ' If-.. she's here, and you do find her. Tell her that.. Gilyoung's here too. So she'll know she's not alone. ' '
Though he didn't completely like the ide of giving his, and Yoosung's name to complete strangers, they seemed like they wouldn't hurt them, for now.
[@lordincognito ]
The man noded then walked to the nearest guard and told them to announce the rest of the guards a second emergency search protocol is up and to report to him immediately any news.
In the meantime the nurse spoke
🩺🐰: "He might seem scary, but he's actually a big softie."
"He grew up with a lot of adoptive siblings he had to save from a dangerous household so he's especially protective of kids" the nurse continued.
Soon enough the warden came back as well "Thank you for trusting us Gilyoung, I promise we will make sure to find your sibling or friend."
"In the case that she's not here I have a big network of people I can get in touch with to help us search on the surface"
The man pauses a bit then continues " I should mention the fortress we're in is under the sea for clarification."
🩺🐰" Your Grace let's show him the Cafeteria. I believe it has been a while since he last ate and it would not be advised to take painkillers on an empty stomach" the melusine spoke
"Oh right. Thanks for mentioning Sigewine. We should probably grab something as well"
"Let us know if you are feeling up for it Gilyoung and if you have any preferences/allergies related to food"
'' You better be safe, Yoosung.. ' '
Gilyoung mutters out in a low voice, as if only for himself. As Wriothesley comes back and announces that they'll do whatever they can to help, he nods. Though he does perk up at the next thing he says.
' ' In a fortess.. under the sea?-.. ' '
In perfect timing, after Wriothesley comes back and they mentiom the cafeteria, Gilyoung's stomache rumbles. Signaling that he is indeed hungry.
' ' I don't think I have any allergies, and I don't really care what I eat, but I do like sweets. ' '
...
' ' Administrator of the fortress, huh.. ' '
He trails off before asking Wriothesley.
' ' Mr..Ahjussi, do you work with justice?- Like a police officer, or something like that? ' '
[@lordincognito ]
"Indeed, after things calm down you will be able to see the sea in one of the few windows the fortress when we're going up to the surface. To awnser your second question yes I do work in the justice system, I'm going to talk to my colleagues on the surface to find some accommodations for you until your situation gets solved" the man spoke as the group descended towards the Cafeteria.
"And I know you must be wondering why am I helping you without many questions asked.
Or what's the price? " the man stopped with a serious look painting his features" I recognize the look on your face. I was once a kid left to fend for themselves too, expecting to be backstabbed at any moment by everyone around me. Ensuring that what I went through doesn't happen again at least under my watch is enough for me.
So if anyone has the guts to cause you any trouble here tell me. I'll make sure they learn their lesson"
' ' Oh, okay. I guess that's why you reminded me of a certain two people back at home.. ' '
His eyes silently take in the appearances of Wriothesley and Sigewinne, drawing familiarity to the people he's close to back at home.
[Sigewinne kind of looks like Yoosung, or Mia. And the police officer..? The man gives of the same vibe as Heewon-noona and Hyunsung-hyung. But his face kinda looks like that sooty bastard's..]
He thinks to himself, and Gilyoung definitely did not expect he was going to get called out for his too-wary behavior so easily. So when Wriothesley said his second statement, he flinched and stared in surprise.
[How did- he's as good at reading people as hyung is! Wait, no, no one is as good as my hyung, nevermind. ]
Gilyoung thought to himself, before shaking his head. Although at Wriothesley's last statement, he blinked in surprise again before nodding.
' ' ..Okay, I will. ' '
[@lordincognito]
"Sorry for taking you by surprise a bit there, but i'd rather make sure there's no chance for misunderstandings" the man explains then makes a sign towards the rest of his companions to continue their walk towards the cafeteria.
Once there they settle for a table more towards the exit. Mainly for Wrio to observe quickly if anyone has news.
"Wait right here I'll go get our food. How do barbeque ribs sound?"
' ' Uhm.. ' ' [<-has no idea what berbecue ribs are.]
' ' Sure-[?] I think that sounds good. [???] ' '
Gilyoung silently looks around him, observing where he is, the people, and noting down anything and everything at looks supiscious, dangerous, etc.
Living in an apocalypse has taught him that knowing where you are, or knowing what is surrounding you is of extreme value. And despite knowing that it may not work the same here, he couldn't just stop doing something he learned, that helped him and others survive in a ruined world.
[@lordincognito ]
Soon enough he comes back with what looks like two portions of ribs, a serving of soup and a portion of coffee bavarois.
He sets the soup in front Sigewine, a portion of ribs and the pudding in front of Gilyoung and finally his own food.
"The pudding is a local specialty. I remembered you said earlier that you like sweets so after you finish the main meal it's all yours" he mentions "until then let's dig in"
The three start eating, with Gilyoung being suspiscious of it at first, before just eating normally.
He was surpised, actually. It was really good! Gilyoung has never tried non-Korean food before, so it was a new experience for him. Maybe he coild somehow convince Yoo Joonghyuk to make some for them once he and Yoosung go back home.
' ' Mmm.. This is really good. ' '
He says, silently eyeing the pudding he wants to try but can't yet sincs he hasn't finished his food.
[@lordincognito ]
He smiled then spoke.
"I'm happy to hear that. I believe you'll have a great time on the surface, they have even better food than us and fontainians love their sweets"
"As soon as we're done with lunch i would like to discuss a plan of action with you.
In the case we don't find your sibling here I was thinking of reaching out to my government officials friends to start a search on the surface as well and maybe find you a mek bodyguard, if you're comfortable with it, in case you want to start searching on your own as well.
But first finish your meal and then we can talk more about it. "
Gilyoung nods his head at that, and continues eating. After finishing his food and desert, he sets his utensils down on the table gently as he wipes his face with a napkin.
[The food was tasty, especially the pudding.]
He thinks to himself as he waits for Wriothesley to finish his own food. Gilyoung fidgets with his fingers as he thinks about home. Is is family doing alright? Is his hyung worried about him and Yoosung? And how much time will have passed when they're finly able to go back home? He ponders these questions with an indecipherable look upon his face.
[@lordincognito ]
There was a brief moment of silence after everyone was done with their meal.
Wrio could tell that the poor kid was still worried a lot and he hopes some positive news are on the way
Until then he opens his mouth to say"Hey, i know you're still worried. We're going to help you reunite with your sibling one way or another. I promise, until then can you tell me more about were you came from? You're definitely not from here. That much I can tell. Are you coming from somewhere else on teyvat or perhaps are you like the traveler. A person not of this world?"
Call it a hunch but the boy had a certain aura to him that the warden saw before. A certain way they carried themselves reminded them of the traveler.
Gilyoung frowns as Wriothesley mentions Teyvat, confirming his suspiscions on being in a different world or dimensions.
' ' I'm from South-Korea, on Earth.. And I'm on.. some world called Teyvat? ' '
[So I'm not on Earth anymore.. ]He thinks to himself for a minute, having been in this situation before. Except for the fact that he wasn't alone during the first time. He closes his eyes to concentrate on thinking, before finally deciding on saying;
' ' Back home, we live in an apocalypse. So I.. I'm sorry for being rude when we met earlier. I.. I just didn't know where I was. ' '
[@lordincognito ]
"Hey kid, it's okay you don't need to apologize. I understand not growing up in the best conditions and having to do things i'm not proud of" he pauses a bit supporting his chin in his hand as he ponders what else can he do to help his visitor.
"I've heard of other worlds existing as there's a hand of people in Teyvat that can travel between them, one of them helped my nation during a prophecy and was even a visitor of this very fortress."
"As you lived in an apocalypse would having something to defend yourself with make you more at ease?"
Gilyoung thinks for a few moments, before deciding on saying, in the most deadpan way possible.
' ' Insects. ' '
He blinks, before his expression morphs into a slightly more shy one.
' ' Having insects or bugs around would make me feel better. ' '
That was.. a certainly strange request. But to be fair, everything about this situation was Gilyoung is strange so it's not really new.
[@lordincognito]
Certainly an interesting request, but not the weirdest out of them all, after all vision users get really creative with their visions, his own self included.
"Hmmm, we should still have that one confiscated shipment of onikabuto beetles I'll bring you to them."
"I haven't felt any elemental resonance on you so you're definitely not able to manipulate the elements here. Power related to your homeworld?" he says in a lower tone making sure only Gilyoung could hear him. They were still in an open space after all.
Gilyoung blinks, then nods almost enthusiastically.
' ' M-hm, I have an.. affinity for insects, you could say. ' '
He says back in low, yet kind of excited tone. Gilyoung definitely thinks that Wriothesley could be trusted for now, yet Kimcom has always told him not to show all his cards immediately, so he just tried to relay the appropriate amount of information he could.
He's also excited to find out what Onikabuto are.
[@lordincognito]
He smiles as he's glad the youngster finally managed to relax a bit
I hope we'll receive good news about the search soon
"Alright you can either follow me into the storage or wait in Sigewine's cabinet until I bring them back. Whichever you prefer"he says then waits patiently for the awnser
Gilyoung stands up from his seat, eagerly looking up at Wriothesley. Ah, so it seem's he's quite looking foreward to getting his hands on those Onikabuto as quick as possible. His hands twitch behind his back, curious to see if his skills would still work in a different world like before.
" I want to go with you! Lead the way- uh- please."
[@lordincognito ]
[Ooc// HI EVERYONE!! I'm so sorry I havent been active! It was exams week and my phone was taken away so suddenly! But it's over now so I'm finally free😭😭❗️❗️❗️]
As Xianyun was minding her own business, collecting materials for her next contraption in the lands that border Liyue from Sumeru; a little girl, looking to be atleast 10 to 12 years old, tried to get her attention her on the shoulder while on tiptoes. She was holding a basket in one hand and a map on the other.
' ' Ahm.. Excuse me Ms., but is this place Lie-Liyue Harbor..? ' '
The child had short blonde hair, red eyed, and was wearing a foreign clothing style.. Maybe a traveler?
[@insectking-beastlord]
Hm? Oh hello there, little one.
[Xianyun took in the appearance of the child, noting that the child was not from Liyue given her attire]
Perhaps you have wandered off course? Were are your guardians?
[Xianyun adjusted her glasses as she looked for signs of other humans in the area. Finding none, she turned her attention back to the girl]
You are in Liyue but far away from the Harbour.
The girl blinks, and bows to her slightly with a greatful look.
' ' Ah, is that so? Thank you for telling me miss! And I'm travelling alone, actually. I'm looking for my companion. ' '
She says, before pausing and straightening back up. The little girl points to the map with a sheepish look on her face.
' ' Could you ahm...please point or show me the direction where Liyue Harbor is? My map only focuses on Sumeru so I don't know where to go beyond that.. ' '

"Hmmm, we should still have that one confiscated shipment of onikabuto beetles I'll bring you to them."
"I haven't felt any elemental resonance on you so you're definitely not able to manipulate the elements here. Power related to your homeworld?" he says in a lower tone making sure only Gilyoung could hear him. They were still in an open space after all.
Gilyoung blinks, then nods almost enthusiastically.
' ' M-hm, I have an.. affinity for insects, you could say. ' '
He says back in low, yet kind of excited tone. Gilyoung definitely thinks that Wriothesley could be trusted for now, yet Kimcom has always told him not to show all his cards immediately, so he just tried to relay the appropriate amount of information he could.
He's also excited to find out what Onikabuto are.

Today was a very strange day.
A child, one looking no older than 10-13 years old, seems to have fallen into the Fortress of Meropide. There wasn't a hole in the Fortress as people checked, witnesses just claimed they saw a boy fall down from the ceiling while screaming bloody murder all the way down. There were no records of the boy as a prisoner, nor even just records of the boy in Fontaine in general.
Said boy is currently in the infirmary with Sigewinne, a bruise on his head after hitting the ground, and is still knocked unconsious.
Today was a very strange day, indeed..
[@insectking-beastlord ]
It was one of those days huh.
Once he was done documenting this incident he will go and check the infirmary personally.
Prison was no place for a kid, he knows first hand why. Although he did his best to reform the place, it's still a long way towards what he envisions as a place of redemption.
He trusts that if something is up Sigewine will let him know right away.
He hopes it's just something related to a leyline disorder since the Fortress is right on top the primordial sea and not something worse...
The child woke up after a few hours, and was rightfully wary and cautious of his surroundings. Thankfully, unlike a normal child, the kid didn't really scream. He was only suspisciously squinting at Wriothesley and Sigewienne. He squinted at the two, as if thinking they looked funny, before he asked,
' ' ...Who are you. ' '
[@lordincognito ]
He shared a look with the nurse asking in an unspoken manner Is there something on my face or something? Then turned his head towards the young boy in front of the them and spoke.
"I'm the administrator of the fortress you're currently in and through which ceiling you've fallen down from. You may call me Wriothesley"
After introducing himself he pointed out towards the melusine "This is Sigewine, our head nurse and the one who took care of your wounds. Don't be fooled by how her species looks she is more capable than many other nurses i've seen around"
🩺🐰: "Thank you for the introduction, Your Grace" the small nurse replies "Now I believe it's time for our guest to introduce himself as well"
"Only if he feels comfortable to do so. It's not exactly pleasant to wake up alone in an unknown place and here I speak from experience" the Duke replies.
"Say kid, you seem quite calm for the situation you're in. Do those type of occurences happen often?" the man asks.
' ' Falling from the ceiling? Happened once or twice before. But waking up to a strangers? A first. ''
The boy says, although not breaking eye contact. He doesn't want to take chances just incase they try to do somethung funny.
And it seems like the kid isn't all too willing to share his name yet.
' ' Was there anyone else who fell with me? Blonde hair, red eyes? ' '
The boy suddenly asks.
[@lordincognito ]
He listened patiently to the kid. He didn't want to push for information just yet as the boy was most probably on edge regarding the whole situation.
He doesn't blame him, it kinda reminds him of how he woke up in the hospital after his crime. He knows the key to success here is patience.
The second question makes him furrow his brows in worry. One lost kid here was bad already. He doesn't want to take chances of another one getting lost and running into a potential dangerous situation.
"You were the only one who fell through from what was reported to me. Hit your head pretty bad too which is why you're in the infirmary in the first place"
Taking a look towards the rest of the fortress then back at the boy he continued "I'll have my most reliable guards search the place again. If there's another person in your situation here I would like to make they're safe from any inmates and if they have any wounds to have them treated as soon as possible"
' ' .. Shin Yoosung. That's her name. ' '
The boy admits, quietly. Shifting uncomfortably in his seat at he reluctantly gives up her name. If she's here with him then it'd be best not to make her worry.
' ' If-.. she's here, and you do find her. Tell her that.. Gilyoung's here too. So she'll know she's not alone. ' '
Though he didn't completely like the ide of giving his, and Yoosung's name to complete strangers, they seemed like they wouldn't hurt them, for now.
[@lordincognito ]
The man noded then walked to the nearest guard and told them to announce the rest of the guards a second emergency search protocol is up and to report to him immediately any news.
In the meantime the nurse spoke
🩺🐰: "He might seem scary, but he's actually a big softie."
"He grew up with a lot of adoptive siblings he had to save from a dangerous household so he's especially protective of kids" the nurse continued.
Soon enough the warden came back as well "Thank you for trusting us Gilyoung, I promise we will make sure to find your sibling or friend."
"In the case that she's not here I have a big network of people I can get in touch with to help us search on the surface"
The man pauses a bit then continues " I should mention the fortress we're in is under the sea for clarification."
🩺🐰" Your Grace let's show him the Cafeteria. I believe it has been a while since he last ate and it would not be advised to take painkillers on an empty stomach" the melusine spoke
"Oh right. Thanks for mentioning Sigewine. We should probably grab something as well"
"Let us know if you are feeling up for it Gilyoung and if you have any preferences/allergies related to food"
'' You better be safe, Yoosung.. ' '
Gilyoung mutters out in a low voice, as if only for himself. As Wriothesley comes back and announces that they'll do whatever they can to help, he nods. Though he does perk up at the next thing he says.
' ' In a fortess.. under the sea?-.. ' '
In perfect timing, after Wriothesley comes back and they mentiom the cafeteria, Gilyoung's stomache rumbles. Signaling that he is indeed hungry.
' ' I don't think I have any allergies, and I don't really care what I eat, but I do like sweets. ' '
...
' ' Administrator of the fortress, huh.. ' '
He trails off before asking Wriothesley.
' ' Mr..Ahjussi, do you work with justice?- Like a police officer, or something like that? ' '
[@lordincognito ]
"Indeed, after things calm down you will be able to see the sea in one of the few windows the fortress when we're going up to the surface. To awnser your second question yes I do work in the justice system, I'm going to talk to my colleagues on the surface to find some accommodations for you until your situation gets solved" the man spoke as the group descended towards the Cafeteria.
"And I know you must be wondering why am I helping you without many questions asked.
Or what's the price? " the man stopped with a serious look painting his features" I recognize the look on your face. I was once a kid left to fend for themselves too, expecting to be backstabbed at any moment by everyone around me. Ensuring that what I went through doesn't happen again at least under my watch is enough for me.
So if anyone has the guts to cause you any trouble here tell me. I'll make sure they learn their lesson"
' ' Oh, okay. I guess that's why you reminded me of a certain two people back at home.. ' '
His eyes silently take in the appearances of Wriothesley and Sigewinne, drawing familiarity to the people he's close to back at home.
[Sigewinne kind of looks like Yoosung, or Mia. And the police officer..? The man gives of the same vibe as Heewon-noona and Hyunsung-hyung. But his face kinda looks like that sooty bastard's..]
He thinks to himself, and Gilyoung definitely did not expect he was going to get called out for his too-wary behavior so easily. So when Wriothesley said his second statement, he flinched and stared in surprise.
[How did- he's as good at reading people as hyung is! Wait, no, no one is as good as my hyung, nevermind. ]
Gilyoung thought to himself, before shaking his head. Although at Wriothesley's last statement, he blinked in surprise again before nodding.
' ' ..Okay, I will. ' '
[@lordincognito]
"Sorry for taking you by surprise a bit there, but i'd rather make sure there's no chance for misunderstandings" the man explains then makes a sign towards the rest of his companions to continue their walk towards the cafeteria.
Once there they settle for a table more towards the exit. Mainly for Wrio to observe quickly if anyone has news.
"Wait right here I'll go get our food. How do barbeque ribs sound?"
' ' Uhm.. ' ' [<-has no idea what berbecue ribs are.]
' ' Sure-[?] I think that sounds good. [???] ' '
Gilyoung silently looks around him, observing where he is, the people, and noting down anything and everything at looks supiscious, dangerous, etc.
Living in an apocalypse has taught him that knowing where you are, or knowing what is surrounding you is of extreme value. And despite knowing that it may not work the same here, he couldn't just stop doing something he learned, that helped him and others survive in a ruined world.
[@lordincognito ]
Soon enough he comes back with what looks like two portions of ribs, a serving of soup and a portion of coffee bavarois.
He sets the soup in front Sigewine, a portion of ribs and the pudding in front of Gilyoung and finally his own food.
"The pudding is a local specialty. I remembered you said earlier that you like sweets so after you finish the main meal it's all yours" he mentions "until then let's dig in"
The three start eating, with Gilyoung being suspiscious of it at first, before just eating normally.
He was surpised, actually. It was really good! Gilyoung has never tried non-Korean food before, so it was a new experience for him. Maybe he coild somehow convince Yoo Joonghyuk to make some for them once he and Yoosung go back home.
' ' Mmm.. This is really good. ' '
He says, silently eyeing the pudding he wants to try but can't yet sincs he hasn't finished his food.
[@lordincognito ]
He smiled then spoke.
"I'm happy to hear that. I believe you'll have a great time on the surface, they have even better food than us and fontainians love their sweets"
"As soon as we're done with lunch i would like to discuss a plan of action with you.
In the case we don't find your sibling here I was thinking of reaching out to my government officials friends to start a search on the surface as well and maybe find you a mek bodyguard, if you're comfortable with it, in case you want to start searching on your own as well.
But first finish your meal and then we can talk more about it. "
Gilyoung nods his head at that, and continues eating. After finishing his food and desert, he sets his utensils down on the table gently as he wipes his face with a napkin.
[The food was tasty, especially the pudding.]
He thinks to himself as he waits for Wriothesley to finish his own food. Gilyoung fidgets with his fingers as he thinks about home. Is is family doing alright? Is his hyung worried about him and Yoosung? And how much time will have passed when they're finly able to go back home? He ponders these questions with an indecipherable look upon his face.
[@lordincognito ]
There was a brief moment of silence after everyone was done with their meal.
Wrio could tell that the poor kid was still worried a lot and he hopes some positive news are on the way
Until then he opens his mouth to say"Hey, i know you're still worried. We're going to help you reunite with your sibling one way or another. I promise, until then can you tell me more about were you came from? You're definitely not from here. That much I can tell. Are you coming from somewhere else on teyvat or perhaps are you like the traveler. A person not of this world?"
Call it a hunch but the boy had a certain aura to him that the warden saw before. A certain way they carried themselves reminded them of the traveler.
Gilyoung frowns as Wriothesley mentions Teyvat, confirming his suspiscions on being in a different world or dimensions.
' ' I'm from South-Korea, on Earth.. And I'm on.. some world called Teyvat? ' '
[So I'm not on Earth anymore.. ]He thinks to himself for a minute, having been in this situation before. Except for the fact that he wasn't alone during the first time. He closes his eyes to concentrate on thinking, before finally deciding on saying;
' ' Back home, we live in an apocalypse. So I.. I'm sorry for being rude when we met earlier. I.. I just didn't know where I was. ' '
[@lordincognito ]
"Hey kid, it's okay you don't need to apologize. I understand not growing up in the best conditions and having to do things i'm not proud of" he pauses a bit supporting his chin in his hand as he ponders what else can he do to help his visitor.
"I've heard of other worlds existing as there's a hand of people in Teyvat that can travel between them, one of them helped my nation during a prophecy and was even a visitor of this very fortress."
"As you lived in an apocalypse would having something to defend yourself with make you more at ease?"
Gilyoung thinks for a few moments, before deciding on saying, in the most deadpan way possible.
' ' Insects. ' '
He blinks, before his expression morphs into a slightly more shy one.
' ' Having insects or bugs around would make me feel better. ' '
That was.. a certainly strange request. But to be fair, everything about this situation was Gilyoung is strange so it's not really new.

"Only if he feels comfortable to do so. It's not exactly pleasant to wake up alone in an unknown place and here I speak from experience" the Duke replies.
"Say kid, you seem quite calm for the situation you're in. Do those type of occurences happen often?" the man asks.
' ' Falling from the ceiling? Happened once or twice before. But waking up to a strangers? A first. ''
The boy says, although not breaking eye contact. He doesn't want to take chances just incase they try to do somethung funny.
And it seems like the kid isn't all too willing to share his name yet.
' ' Was there anyone else who fell with me? Blonde hair, red eyes? ' '
The boy suddenly asks.
[@lordincognito ]
He listened patiently to the kid. He didn't want to push for information just yet as the boy was most probably on edge regarding the whole situation.
He doesn't blame him, it kinda reminds him of how he woke up in the hospital after his crime. He knows the key to success here is patience.
The second question makes him furrow his brows in worry. One lost kid here was bad already. He doesn't want to take chances of another one getting lost and running into a potential dangerous situation.
"You were the only one who fell through from what was reported to me. Hit your head pretty bad too which is why you're in the infirmary in the first place"
Taking a look towards the rest of the fortress then back at the boy he continued "I'll have my most reliable guards search the place again. If there's another person in your situation here I would like to make they're safe from any inmates and if they have any wounds to have them treated as soon as possible"
' ' .. Shin Yoosung. That's her name. ' '
The boy admits, quietly. Shifting uncomfortably in his seat at he reluctantly gives up her name. If she's here with him then it'd be best not to make her worry.
' ' If-.. she's here, and you do find her. Tell her that.. Gilyoung's here too. So she'll know she's not alone. ' '
Though he didn't completely like the ide of giving his, and Yoosung's name to complete strangers, they seemed like they wouldn't hurt them, for now.
[@lordincognito ]
The man noded then walked to the nearest guard and told them to announce the rest of the guards a second emergency search protocol is up and to report to him immediately any news.
In the meantime the nurse spoke
🩺🐰: "He might seem scary, but he's actually a big softie."
"He grew up with a lot of adoptive siblings he had to save from a dangerous household so he's especially protective of kids" the nurse continued.
Soon enough the warden came back as well "Thank you for trusting us Gilyoung, I promise we will make sure to find your sibling or friend."
"In the case that she's not here I have a big network of people I can get in touch with to help us search on the surface"
The man pauses a bit then continues " I should mention the fortress we're in is under the sea for clarification."
🩺🐰" Your Grace let's show him the Cafeteria. I believe it has been a while since he last ate and it would not be advised to take painkillers on an empty stomach" the melusine spoke
"Oh right. Thanks for mentioning Sigewine. We should probably grab something as well"
"Let us know if you are feeling up for it Gilyoung and if you have any preferences/allergies related to food"
'' You better be safe, Yoosung.. ' '
Gilyoung mutters out in a low voice, as if only for himself. As Wriothesley comes back and announces that they'll do whatever they can to help, he nods. Though he does perk up at the next thing he says.
' ' In a fortess.. under the sea?-.. ' '
In perfect timing, after Wriothesley comes back and they mentiom the cafeteria, Gilyoung's stomache rumbles. Signaling that he is indeed hungry.
' ' I don't think I have any allergies, and I don't really care what I eat, but I do like sweets. ' '
...
' ' Administrator of the fortress, huh.. ' '
He trails off before asking Wriothesley.
' ' Mr..Ahjussi, do you work with justice?- Like a police officer, or something like that? ' '
[@lordincognito ]
"Indeed, after things calm down you will be able to see the sea in one of the few windows the fortress when we're going up to the surface. To awnser your second question yes I do work in the justice system, I'm going to talk to my colleagues on the surface to find some accommodations for you until your situation gets solved" the man spoke as the group descended towards the Cafeteria.
"And I know you must be wondering why am I helping you without many questions asked.
Or what's the price? " the man stopped with a serious look painting his features" I recognize the look on your face. I was once a kid left to fend for themselves too, expecting to be backstabbed at any moment by everyone around me. Ensuring that what I went through doesn't happen again at least under my watch is enough for me.
So if anyone has the guts to cause you any trouble here tell me. I'll make sure they learn their lesson"
' ' Oh, okay. I guess that's why you reminded me of a certain two people back at home.. ' '
His eyes silently take in the appearances of Wriothesley and Sigewinne, drawing familiarity to the people he's close to back at home.
[Sigewinne kind of looks like Yoosung, or Mia. And the police officer..? The man gives of the same vibe as Heewon-noona and Hyunsung-hyung. But his face kinda looks like that sooty bastard's..]
He thinks to himself, and Gilyoung definitely did not expect he was going to get called out for his too-wary behavior so easily. So when Wriothesley said his second statement, he flinched and stared in surprise.
[How did- he's as good at reading people as hyung is! Wait, no, no one is as good as my hyung, nevermind. ]
Gilyoung thought to himself, before shaking his head. Although at Wriothesley's last statement, he blinked in surprise again before nodding.
' ' ..Okay, I will. ' '
[@lordincognito]
"Sorry for taking you by surprise a bit there, but i'd rather make sure there's no chance for misunderstandings" the man explains then makes a sign towards the rest of his companions to continue their walk towards the cafeteria.
Once there they settle for a table more towards the exit. Mainly for Wrio to observe quickly if anyone has news.
"Wait right here I'll go get our food. How do barbeque ribs sound?"
' ' Uhm.. ' ' [<-has no idea what berbecue ribs are.]
' ' Sure-[?] I think that sounds good. [???] ' '
Gilyoung silently looks around him, observing where he is, the people, and noting down anything and everything at looks supiscious, dangerous, etc.
Living in an apocalypse has taught him that knowing where you are, or knowing what is surrounding you is of extreme value. And despite knowing that it may not work the same here, he couldn't just stop doing something he learned, that helped him and others survive in a ruined world.
[@lordincognito ]
Soon enough he comes back with what looks like two portions of ribs, a serving of soup and a portion of coffee bavarois.
He sets the soup in front Sigewine, a portion of ribs and the pudding in front of Gilyoung and finally his own food.
"The pudding is a local specialty. I remembered you said earlier that you like sweets so after you finish the main meal it's all yours" he mentions "until then let's dig in"
The three start eating, with Gilyoung being suspiscious of it at first, before just eating normally.
He was surpised, actually. It was really good! Gilyoung has never tried non-Korean food before, so it was a new experience for him. Maybe he coild somehow convince Yoo Joonghyuk to make some for them once he and Yoosung go back home.
' ' Mmm.. This is really good. ' '
He says, silently eyeing the pudding he wants to try but can't yet sincs he hasn't finished his food.
[@lordincognito ]
He smiled then spoke.
"I'm happy to hear that. I believe you'll have a great time on the surface, they have even better food than us and fontainians love their sweets"
"As soon as we're done with lunch i would like to discuss a plan of action with you.
In the case we don't find your sibling here I was thinking of reaching out to my government officials friends to start a search on the surface as well and maybe find you a mek bodyguard, if you're comfortable with it, in case you want to start searching on your own as well.
But first finish your meal and then we can talk more about it. "
Gilyoung nods his head at that, and continues eating. After finishing his food and desert, he sets his utensils down on the table gently as he wipes his face with a napkin.
[The food was tasty, especially the pudding.]
He thinks to himself as he waits for Wriothesley to finish his own food. Gilyoung fidgets with his fingers as he thinks about home. Is is family doing alright? Is his hyung worried about him and Yoosung? And how much time will have passed when they're finly able to go back home? He ponders these questions with an indecipherable look upon his face.
Though afterwards, Gilyoung looks Wriothesley up and down, before blurting out,
' ' .. You remind me of one of my noonas, back at home. ' '

Today was a very strange day.
A child, one looking no older than 10-13 years old, seems to have fallen into the Fortress of Meropide. There wasn't a hole in the Fortress as people checked, witnesses just claimed they saw a boy fall down from the ceiling while screaming bloody murder all the way down. There were no records of the boy as a prisoner, nor even just records of the boy in Fontaine in general.
Said boy is currently in the infirmary with Sigewinne, a bruise on his head after hitting the ground, and is still knocked unconsious.
Today was a very strange day, indeed..
[@insectking-beastlord ]
It was one of those days huh.
Once he was done documenting this incident he will go and check the infirmary personally.
Prison was no place for a kid, he knows first hand why. Although he did his best to reform the place, it's still a long way towards what he envisions as a place of redemption.
He trusts that if something is up Sigewine will let him know right away.
He hopes it's just something related to a leyline disorder since the Fortress is right on top the primordial sea and not something worse...
The child woke up after a few hours, and was rightfully wary and cautious of his surroundings. Thankfully, unlike a normal child, the kid didn't really scream. He was only suspisciously squinting at Wriothesley and Sigewienne. He squinted at the two, as if thinking they looked funny, before he asked,
' ' ...Who are you. ' '
[@lordincognito ]
He shared a look with the nurse asking in an unspoken manner Is there something on my face or something? Then turned his head towards the young boy in front of the them and spoke.
"I'm the administrator of the fortress you're currently in and through which ceiling you've fallen down from. You may call me Wriothesley"
After introducing himself he pointed out towards the melusine "This is Sigewine, our head nurse and the one who took care of your wounds. Don't be fooled by how her species looks she is more capable than many other nurses i've seen around"
🩺🐰: "Thank you for the introduction, Your Grace" the small nurse replies "Now I believe it's time for our guest to introduce himself as well"
