    Summary

    The Eleventh Harbinger remained silent, each breath catching the air in a puff of clouded mist. No words fell from his lips, but from his right eye spilled a single tear, and he bowed his head, for to display such weakness before his Tsaritsa was an unthinkable shame.

    But the lady of ice bore no reprimand nor rebuke for her loyal soldier. Instead, sensing his deep sorrow, she descended from her throne to stand before him.

    She caressed his shimmering cheek and said, “The scalding sting of betrayal. It burns, does it not?”

    Tartaglia said nothing, only bowed his head in acknowledgement of her words.

    “Then I propose a gift for you. Allow me to seal that charred heart of yours within my ice, so that it may never feel treachery’s bite again. Tell me, child, would you accept my offering?”

    After returning to Snezhnaya, Tartaglia remains heartbroken over Zhongli's deception, and so the Tsaritsa encases his heart in ice so that he will never feel such pain again. When Zhongli arrives to request her to release him, he must undertake three trials in order to prove himself worthy of Tartaglia's heart.

    Summary

    Tartaglia preferred bleeding over breaking bones, it didn't matter whose blood it was, whether his or his enemy's, only that it was warm and made him feel that he was undoubtedly alive. So when a single petal of a flower-one that he would not mistake as anything other than a certain god's cherished flora-landed on his glove after coming home to the Tsaritsa, he simply brushed it off as a reminder of events that made the chamber between his ribs feel comfortably empty, like a self-fulfilling prophecy that no one who showed him warmth was genuine, and that only cruelty was honest.

    Until there was blood, and for once, Childe did not feel alive, he was sure he was not going to live at all.
