#foul legacy happily follows you wherever you go

okay but we all agree that Childe simply must appear in Natlan at some point, right? not even from a lore standpoint, just because he has a reputation of being Mr. Teyvat and you know that man never backs down from a challenge.

i imagine you leave home for a little bit to help with Natlan's rebuilding as many of the nations are doing, and Childe convinces Foul Legacy to also just HAPPEN to be in Natlan at the same time. his Abyssal half doesn't want to at first, since the house is cozy and Natlan is notorious for being very, very warm, but the moment Childe mentions your name Legacy perks up and agrees, and a few days later you're promptly tackled by a jubilant monster and sent stumbling right into a hot spring.

needless to say, the civilians around you are VERY concerned until you sheepishly reassure them that this is one of the, ah, nicer Abyssal beasts. not that they really doubted your words, seeing how eagerly Legacy snuggled into your lap and nibbled your fingers.

*knocks and slowly open the door* hello Wifi, nightly thought anon here! I was thinking of the new seele we got and how it shines and can follow you under the water.

Imagine Foul Legacy being overjoyed finding out that, he now has another friend to explore with ! This little friend match his big shiny eye and can follow him everywhere, unlike the other seeles that dont go in the water this one stay and happily follow our big mothman, sometimes even hide and squeak so they can play together

Him coming home soaked is becoming more and more common due to that but he doesnt mind, his favorite part of the day is cuddling you after you dried him while chirping about his new flying companion

oh my goodness you do not understand the chokehold the new seelie has on me it's so SHINY AND PRETTY AND CAN GO UNDERWATER DO YOU UNDERSTAND

i like to think that maybe Foul Legacy is the one who finds the seelie during one of his solo swims while you're at work, spotting this sparkling, glowing ball huddled away in some seaweed. the seelie squeaks in fear when it sees a massive Abyss creature approach, but slowly calms as Legacy gently trills, bubbles drifting from his open maw. after a few minutes of reassurance the seelie dubs Legacy as trustworthy and floats over to meet him, letting out little burbles and chirps and spinning happy circles in the water. Legacy chitters happily as the seelie sinks into his palm, its glow becoming brighter as the sun begins to set- he's almost late getting home because of this, shaking some of the water from his fluff as the seelie flies after him, a beacon in the night

needless to say, Legacy is very damp, very tired, and very pleased with himself when you come home, nudging the seelie over to you and watching in delight as the bloopy creature sits in your hands and warbles up at you

the seelie doesn't permanently stay in your house, swapping back and forth between inside and outside under the water- but it does always follow Foul Legacy around, wherever he might be, nestling in his fur with a cheerful peep. you become used to Legacy returning late, soaked to the bone and happily exhausted from a full day of swimming, nuzzling you and rumbling with laughter when your clothes get wet. you grab a towel and sit him down, carefully fluffing up his ginger hair as you dry it and his face off. the seelie moves to melt into your lap- strangely, it's not wet at all, but you suppose his seelie must have some water resistance, being a magical creature, and more often than not Legacy dozes off when you're drying his hair, arms draped over your shoulders

yes, you'll wake up damp tomorrow and possibly with a cold, but for now you just pulls the towel over the three of you and snuggle closer, your eyes shutting as you drift off to sleep
