The Knave really didn't have to go that far! It's actually completely unnecessary for her to reserve the date. She wouldn't want Arlecchino to feel obligated if she already had other plans. That's definitely the only reason!

After taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.

❝Oh, well. >
October 13, 2025 at 3:13 PM
His smile was truly a wonderful sight to see. It warmed her heart.

❝Thank you very much, Neuvi. You know you didn't have to get me anything, right? Would you like to come in?❞

Encouraging the Hydro Dragon to enter, she pulled the door further open. Thank goodness she just cleaned up >
October 13, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Happy birthday...? As the gears turned in her head, a slow-dawning realisation crossed her face.

❝Ah, that's why you sent the letter! Thank you for remembering my birthday, Wriothesley. Though I'd expect nothing less since I'm your favourite superstar.❞

Despite the time that had passed, Furina >
October 13, 2025 at 3:11 PM
Her eyes widened in surprise as she read the invitation, the name at the bottom leaving her utterly speechless. Did the Knave really plan on celebrating her birthday every year? That's... a truly scary thought.

Aware that Arlecchino would come for her if she didn't arrive, she went to the >
October 13, 2025 at 12:02 PM
After the Salon Solitaire brought the letter over to her, Furi had to wait for it to dry before she could read the message.

❝Oh, it's from Wriothesley. Hmm, let's see... Meet me at the main plaza of the city of Fontaine at... Now?!❞

With a quick glance at the clock, she rushed to get ready. >
October 13, 2025 at 12:02 PM
❝Coming!❞

Hearing the knock, the former archon walked over to the door. Now that she's thinking about it, the voice sounded exactly like Neuvi...

After confirming her suspicions, she smiled. Over time, Furina had gotten used to his frequent visits.

❝Good morning, Neuvillette. What can I do >
October 13, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Why would Arlecchino say that? There's no way she gave off the impression that she wanted to see the Knave more, right? That would be a nightmare!

❝How considerate of you to offer... but you don't have to go through all that trouble. I'm sure your fellow Fatui members wish to celebrate with you.❞
August 22, 2025 at 4:23 PM
... Not again. Is she always going to bump into @thxharlequin.bsky.social on her birthday? Breathe, Furina. Breathe. Despite the current anxiety, she decided to put on a strong front.

❝What a coincidence. Do you always spend this particular day in Fontaine, Knave?❞

If so, she's going to avoid >
August 21, 2025 at 9:57 PM
Blinks.
June 18, 2025 at 7:41 PM
It might be an ordinary day for him, but to Furina, it's special. She really wanted to do something memorable.

Since he was unfamiliar with human customs and feelings, the former archon hoped it would help Neuvillette understand them better. He deserves to be appreciated.

After he opened the >

Furina equally divided the presents between them, wanting to share the load evenly. It wouldn't be fair for him to carry everything.

❝Is everything alright? It's unusual for you to visit the surface.❞

Walking through the streets of Fontaine, she carefully guided him towards her apartment. If >
April 17, 2025 at 4:22 PM
❝I'm glad to hear that. The Salon Solitaire are always happy to receive guests, so I'm sure they'll be looking forward to your visit. Just make sure Mademoiselle Crabaletta doesn't accidentally cut up your coat.❞

Picking up a napkin, she gently dabbed her mouth before placing it on her empty >
April 17, 2025 at 4:21 PM
It's his special day, after all. It's the polite thing to do! Besides, it's no trouble at all.

❝It must be difficult to find peace and quiet in the Fortress. I imagine it's quite lively inside.❞

After pouring the liquid into the teacup, she placed it in front of him.
April 17, 2025 at 4:19 PM
❝Yes, you can. I'd like to apologise for interrupting you, but this is for you. Please enjoy it.❞

Clearing her throat, the former archon raised the cake box. Hopefully, he'd like the sweet treat.

... Now that she's thinking about it, she should have asked his favourite flavour first.
April 17, 2025 at 4:19 PM
That's open to interpretation. From Furina's perspective, the door is open wide enough.

❝... That's very kind of you, but I'd say that the Tsaritsa is your beloved archon now. I wasn't expecting anything.❞

She hesitantly granted the Knave's request, but she was ready to close it at a moment's >
April 17, 2025 at 4:18 PM
It wouldn't surprise her if Arlecchino did take lives for fun... She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but the Knave seemed like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

❝I'm sure you value your alone time, after all.❞
April 17, 2025 at 4:18 PM
❝They're my acquaintances. Members from the theatrical troupe, in fact. We were just discussing their performance.❞

Clearly pleased with her acting, Furina crossed her arms over her chest. She'd like to see the Knave refute that!

❝In any case, I'll take my leave so you can enjoy yourself with >
April 17, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Her eyes widened as she realised what she had just said. She didn't mean to mention the nightmares. The words just came out of her mouth.

❝You have bigger things to worry about. Compared to Fontaine, my nightmares are inconsequential. Though I appreciate your concern, Neuvillette.❞

The former >
April 17, 2025 at 4:15 PM
❝Thank you. I appreciate you trusting me.❞

Furina sighed quietly so he wouldn't hear. Surely the grocery store is safe, right? There's no way they'd be talking about the wedding week.

❝I insist. I'm the one that told you about the foreign water, after all.❞
April 17, 2025 at 4:14 PM
❝Of course it's necessary. You're not invincible, Neuvillette. Besides, the act of worrying shows that you care about them. Don't you want that?❞

Despite their former professional relationship being over, he still insisted on taking care of her. He's too kind to think twice about it. If it were >
April 17, 2025 at 4:14 PM
❝Ah, I suppose you're right. You're not the type to be easily embarrassed about wishes.

Why wouldn't I?❞

In response to his words, a small frown pulled at her lips. The former archon thought she'd gotten better at interacting with Neuvillette, but perhaps that wasn't the case.

She had been >
April 17, 2025 at 4:12 PM
❝Well, I'd hope so! We've known each other for a long time, after all. It'd be bad if I didn't know.❞

Upon seeing his little pout, she couldn't help but feel guilty. And yet, for some reason, she found his expression cute.

❝I just want to surprise you. Is that enough to satisfy your curiosity?❞
April 17, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Today's the day. She had been waiting the entire month for @aquaiudex.bsky.social's birthday. With a bow in her hair to match Neuvillette's, she smoothed out the imaginary wrinkles in her dress. She felt a little nervous about this.

The former archon took a deep breath, plucking up her courage >
December 17, 2024 at 11:00 PM
❥...I can't believe I forgot this account.
November 23, 2024 at 4:32 AM
Over the last year, Furina had gotten to know @houndofmero.bsky.social better. That's why she felt comfortable enough to drop the facade around him.

After standing in a long line since early morning to get La Lettre a Focalors, she walked around the city to try to find him.
