"And..ACTION!" Yelled the director through a white megaphone. The sound of a camera rolling and the sound of faint music playing in the back erupted as Furina walked to a prop door. The lights pointed to her shining luminous white and blue hair. Her mixed-matched blue eyes sparkled
like stars as her eyes softened.

"Hello! Hazel ! Are you in there? It's me, Furina..Your best friend?" Furina awkwardly said. There was no answer. Furina sighed and knocked again. "Hello! Hazel Allard! It's me Furina.." she spoke. Still no answer. Furina's expression turned to worried while the basket of fruit on her arm swayed softly with the wind's current.

After about a brief moment Furina turned to  the camera angry. "I don't see how this 'drama' play is anywhere near my talents. I'd advise someone to edit the script and make it more ..lively! Id be happy to hire someone else if the problem is too... difficult" She spoke with a hint of a sassy attitude.

The director's nails dug into the beige wooden arms of his director chair. He let out a frustrated sigh as he pinched the top of his nose before he blinked a few time.

"Excuse me, Lady Furina... but id rather keep the script how it is. It took the writers a long while to prepare the likes so I'm afraid we cannot notify any one of them of changes. I deeply apologize,but my answer is no." The archon growled and set the basket down before she dug her fists on her hips.

"Well I'd have you know ! As your archon, I will not hesitate to replace you if needed! But if you refuse to leave then I will call off this production with the snap of my fingers and I will make sure it's your first and final production ever...." Furina leaned over the director who shook and nodded. He gulped and smiled nervously pulling at his collar.

"A-apologies...my lady. I will send the script back. I'll make sure I-it's completed by the end of the week. I swear on celestia .." Furina backed up and smiled brightly bringing her hand to her face pushing her pink tinted cheeks up. "Wonderful! That's a wrap for today! Hopefully it will be completed better and much more entertaining! After all,we do this to please our audience and leave them smiling ear to ear,if I'm not mistaken. Right? Director?"

The director nodded as they pass a thick packet of papers off to a lady with a brown bob and bright green eyes. "Pass this on to the editors and get it done by Wednesday." The woman looked at him stunned;confused to be more exact. "But sir, how do you expect the editors to finish this with in 2 days?" The lady spoke while her hand slapped the bottom of the paper roughly.

"Hey hey, it wasn't my choice . Its orders by her Lady Furina herself. And you know we don't want this film to shut down because we couldn't please her mistress. So please just get this to the editors house quickly." He stood up and slowly guided her to a corner.

"I'm sorry sir but this is nearly impossible! I don't see why we need to! Her subjects must rearrange things just to please her! So no and excuse me for me stepping out of place but; that so called 'archon' is nothing but a spoiled brat who depends everything! So no if she doesn't want to comply and follow along with the original story then we will find someone else to fill the role. As a co-worker,a friend , and you wife I'm saying no."

She passed the stack of paper back to the olive skinned man and walked away. Furina was flat against a wall hearing everything. She gasped hearing the words spoken about the archon as she whisked away to her more important duties; as the archon and savior of Fontaine.

—————

The Opera Epiclese is filled with the echoes of whispers and footsteps. The chandeliers glitter overhead, casting a mesmerizing glow. Furina, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, sits on a lavishly adorned throne-like chair, her expression a blend of curiosity and wariness. Arlecchino, the enigmatic Harbinger of the Fatui known for her unpredictable nature, strides into the room, her movements as fluid as a cat's.

She exudes an air of mystery and danger that sets everyone on edge. She tries her best to forget the dance of last week.

Her mind still spin and twirled by the thought of the knave,THE 4th Fatui Harbinger of the nation of Snezhnaya,held the archon within her grasp. She placed one of her gloved hands upon her pink lips,as flashbacks of their forceful kiss appeared once again in her troubled mind. She was lost with her confused yet fascinated memories of the intimating woman who sat before her.

Fueina was composed but with an undertone of caution as she faced the knave. "Arlecchino, it's not often we receive visitors from the House of the Hearth. What brings you to Fontaine?"

Arlecchino glanced at her with a sly smile that slowly tugged on her lips. "Oh, you know, just the usual—business, pleasure, and everything in between. Fontaine's entertainments are legendary, after all. And as for the House of the Hearth, we have... interests to discuss."

Arlecchino's gaze locked onto Furina's, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and something more inscrutable. Furina shifted slightly in her seat uncomfortably, feeling the weight of Arlecchino's presence lingering in the air.

Furina attempted to maintain her regal demeanor trying to look unbothered the best she could. "Interests, you say? And what might those be?" Furina questioned nervously.

Arlecchino circled slowly, her tone of voice glazed a low purr "Bonds, my dear dewdrop. The bonds between our organizations. The House of the Hearth has resources, connections. Fontaine's entertainments are a marvel, but imagine what we could achieve together." She spoke as her hand slipped onto the archons hand ,resting on her down carefully.

Furina's heart skipped a beat at Arlecchino's proximity and the intense gaze that never left her. She swallowwd, trying to regain her composure as she pulled her head away quickly

Furina gulped and begun to speak with a slight tremor in her voice "I see. And what exactly are you proposing..?"

Arlecchino leaned in closer, while her voice dropping to a whisper. "A partnership. Mutual benefits. And perhaps, a bit of... fun along the way." She lightly teased.

Furina's breath hitched as Arlecchino's fingers lightly brushed against her arm, the touch sending an unexpected thrill through the archons nerves. Arlecchino's smile widened, sensing the Archon's reaction.

Furina looked at her blushing, but trying to hold a stern demanding tone of authority. "You play a dangerous game, dear Harbinger.."

Arlecchino laughed softly) "Life is a game, Furina. And I'm very good at playing it. But don't worry, I never play to lose. Especially to someone... as frightened as you.." Furina watches as her black and gray hands glided along her thigh;her black and red nails pressed inwards slightly.

Furina's eyes flickered with a mixture of fear and fascination. Arlecchino's unpredictable and enigmatic personality was both intimidating and oddly captivating. She felt herself drawn into Arlecchino's spell, despite her better judgment and the previous encounter.

Furina gulped slightly and spoke softly softly "What do you want from me,k-knave.." she stuttered. Her touch sent desperate shivers through her body longing for the woman to do more,but she had to compose herself for the better of her people,and herself.

Arlecchino gently lifted Furina's chin to her gaze line and smiled. "I want you to trust me. To see that together, we could create something magnificent. And who knows, Dew drop, maybe you'll find that I'm not so unpredictable after all."

Furina's gaze locked with Arlecchino's, her mind swirled with possibilities and uncertainties. In that moment, the world outside the Opera Epiclese seemd to melt away, leaving only the two of them and the tantalizing prospect of what might have so ser-come next.

The tension in the room was palpable, a silent dance of power and intrigue unfolding between the two formidable women. Furina's mind raced, trying to parse Arlecchino's true intentions, even when she felt an inexplicable pull towards the taller female.

*Furina regained some of her composure as she somehow tied to return the mood back. "Trust is not easily given, Arlecchino. Especially to someone as... ranking and mysterious as yourself . What assurances do I have that this partnership won't end in disaster for Fontaine? And my people?"

Arlecchino looked at her with a blank yet persuasive look that frightened Furina in many ways. "Assurances, my dearest archon, are only as good as the trust they're built upon. But I can offer you something more ...tangible. Resources, information, and influence. The House of the Hearth can be a powerful ally not just to Fontaine Entertainment, but to the nation as a whole.."

Arlecchino stood up and begun to make her way to the door , her demeanor shifting slightly as she adopts a more serious,scary tone.

"Fontaine's entertainments and innovations are unmatched, but there are threats on the horizon that you may not yet see. The Fatui have eyes and ears everywhere. We can help you navigate these dangers, ensuring that Fontaine remains a beacon of justice.. and perhaps allow aid into ...stopping the great prophecy...the flood that shall wash the sins of the Fontainenes away.."

Furina looked eye shocked at her the moment she mentioned the prophecy. She took a moment to carefully consider her offer as she came to a conclusion. "And in return? What does the House of the Hearth seek from the nation of hydro and justice?"

Arlecchino kept her back facing the goddess as her smile returned , but with a sharper and more mischievous than before. "Access to Fontaine's technological marvels. Collaboration on certain... projects. And of course, the mutual understanding that our alliance benefits both parties equally."

Furina's eyes narrowed slightly, weighing the offer over pros and cons. Arlecchino's words carried a seductive promise, but also a veiled threat if an obstacle came along. Yet, despite her better judgment, she felt a strange kinship with the Harbinger's captivating boldness.

Furina held her tea cup and spoke. "Very well. I will consider your proposal, Arlecchino. But make no mistake, I will not be easily swayed by empty promises or flirtations."

Arlecchino chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief and relief. "I wouldn't dream of it, my lady . I value our potential partnership far too much over a little light teasing."

Ahe turned back to her and stepped close,her voice dropping to an intimate murmur. "But I must admit, I find your strength and determination quite... captivating in way,dew drop.."

Furina's breath hitched again, the intensity of Arlecchino's gaze and the subtle brush of her fingers sent shivers down her spine. For a split second, she was caught in the Harbinger's magnetic pull, a whirlwind of danger and allure.

"You are a dangerous woman, Arlecchino." Fueina spoke in a low whisper almost to the point where no one could have heard.

Arlecchino leaned down and whispered in her ear "And yet, you can't seem to look away. Perhaps danger has its own charm, wouldn't you agree?"

Furina's cheeks flush as she tried to steady her racing heart. Arlecchino's proximity was intoxicating, a heady mix of fear and fascination that she can't quite resist.*

Furina finally pulled back slightly, but with a newfound resolve. "I will need time to deliberate. Fontaine's future is not a decision to be taken lightly. Especially if it's in the hands of a harbinger.."

Arlecchino nodded gracefully. "Of course. Take all the time you need. I look forward to our next meeting, Miss Furina ."

With a final, enigmatic smile, Arlecchino tuend and walked out out of the Opera Epiclese, leaving Furina pondering the dangerous yet tantalizing possibilities of their proposed alliance. The Grand Hall felt emptier without the Harbinger's presence, but the echoes of their encounter lingered in the air, a reminder of the intricate dance of power and desire that has only just begun.

"I will uncover the truth about you Arlecchino.. I will...such a strange aura coming from someone like yourself. You seem so cold and stern, but yet I come to feel  warm and fuzzy feeling arising your body. Who are you Arlecchino..." Furina spoke to herself softly.
