Snezhnaya, the land of eternal snows, was a quiet region of tevyat. Because of the blizzards that plague Snezhnaya most of the native people stay inside in these times, and the region does not get many visitors. So, for Lady Tsaritsa, the queen of the fatui, it was a calm peaceful day. There were no missions to oversee, no major battles had been fought in a week, and two Gnosis were taken by her harbingers. Sitting on her throne in the Zapolyarny Palace it was finally a calm day. She could relax and just enjoy the quiet-

"I SAID NO DOTTORE, YOU'RE NOT EXPERIMENTING ON FOUL LEGECY!"

And there goes the quiet. The Tsaritsa sighs as she gets up but someone, namely her, must stop her harbingers from fighting. She hopes it is just childe and il dottre this time but knowing her harbingers they probably dragged some if not all other harbingers into this fight. As she made her way down the halls of the Zapolyarny Palace she heard more snippets of the fight.

"But Ajax we could get a lot farther along in understanding the ruin guards and the abyss if you just let-"

"NO NO NO NO"

"CAN YOU BOTH SHUT THE FUCK UP IM TRYING TO READ!"

She just barely ducked under a cryo shield as an explosion of electro decimated the hall. Ah so Scaramouche was in the fight too. She expected as much. Scaramouche liked to read in the spare time he had in between missions. However, he liked complete and utter silence while he was reading and would murder anyone that disrupted that silence. Oh, and there was the fighting again.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN YELLING IT'S OUR DAY OFF IDIOTES!"

"DOTTORE WAS GONNA KILL ME, WHY WOULDNE'T I BE YELLING!"

Childe survived the explosion. That was good news, she didn't want any of her harbingers to get hurt.

"Ajax stop being dramatic it is only a vivisection."

Oh, good Dottore also survived the- wait WHAT. A VIVSECTION! She ran to the common room and the source of the noises. Upon seeing her three harbingers in the remains of the once beautiful room she preceded to scream "NO NO NO NO THERE WILL BE NO VIVSECTIONS." she turned to Dottore who in response looked at the floor shamefully. "AND NO MORE DESEMATING THE COMMON ROOM" Scaramouche who had been snickering at Dottore now looked like he would rather be on any mission than be here.

She sighed. She did not want to yell at her harbingers, but rules needed to be set in place and followed. Dottore needed to know that not everyone is a test subject, and Scaramouche needed to stop trying to solve all of his problems with attempted murder. Archons, they were like children sometimes. She turned to leave the room to see childe trying to sneak out.

"childe what are you doing?"

She sounded tired, good she wanted him to know that she wanted to be done with this, maybe it would be easier to get an answer to what started this out of him.

"I-I'm just leaving to clean up my lady Tsaritsa."

"childe how did all this even start."

"Ajax said that if I fought him and won, he would let me run a test on him," Dottore piped up.

"And so, you chose a vivisection?" came her tired reply.

"Ummm" he looked at the ground shamefully again.

"And childe why would you say that? You know that Dottore would win."

"I didn't know that he would choose a vivisection!"

"still you should have not said something that could get this out of hand."

She then turned to Dottore "you can perform one nonlethal test on childe per your agreement."

In turn Dottore bowed "thank you lady Tsaritsa I must get ready"

He then hurried out of the remains of the common room; Childe reluctantly followed. She then faced Scaramouche, "call someone to clean up the common room then return to your quarters to read."

"thank you lady Tsaritsa" he said as he walked out of the room. She could hear him yelling

"HEY SOMEONE GET DOWN HERE AND CLEAN UP THIS FUCKING MESS!"

She would feel sorry for whoever came later. Right now she needed some rest.
