[Two packages show up at the door on Christmas morning- one for Klee, and one for Kaeya. Klee's package is wrapped in shiny wrapping paper, with a letter tied to it for her. The letter reads as follows:]
Dear Klee,
I hope you've been doing well! It's been a while since the last I saw you, and I hope that your experiments into new bombs has been going well also. I know that you enjoy going fish blasting, but I wanted to show you how we fish in Snezhnaya. Perhaps yourself and Kaeya can join me sometime in an ice fishing expedition. So, in preparation for it, I've sent you a little gift for when we finally head out onto the ice. If you're worried about the size, it's supposed to be small- ice fishing uses different gear than normal fishing. I hope you like it, please take good care of it.
Sincerely,
Tartaglia
[Inside of the package is a ice fishing rod with the reel and line already attached, and one-third of the size of a normal fishing rod. The reel itself has a clover design on it, that he'd special ordered the month prior.]
Klee. [ there is a sound of a faint smile there, and a book being closed shut, as if now aware that the omni has finally reached her inbox. ]
I trust that you've been well. I've been informed upon my arrival that you are currently under the care of both Kaeya and Diluc. I imagine nothing of the combustible nature has occurred under their vigilant eye...
[ is albedo concerned for her welfare or the citizens of trench? that honestly goes without saying, klee being the rambunctious offspring of alice, after all. anyway: ]
... I do have something to ask of you. You are free to decline if you see no use for it. [ or if diluc and/or kaeya has already beaten him to the punch. ]
I will look forward to hearing from you, Klee. Until then, do take care.
[Klee knows this voice from countless hours spending time together in the lab , outside and just eating lunch together. It's her big brother. Albedo is here! He's here! There so much happiness and glee in her voice as she responds.]
Big Brother Albedo you're here! [A giggle] Listen Dodoko. It's big brother!
Oh um. Klee promised that she hasn't blown up anything aside from some fish. I promise! Uhuh! I've been living with Karya it's been really fun..I have a bomb shack! Oh and Mr. Diluc is really really nice and been teaching me stuff!
[ he is appalled. who is responsible for this brewing catastrophe? then again, if those two are involved, it'll closely resemble a bomb shelter, keeping it all within a safe and enclosed space. perhaps he should inquire about this to either of the two, just to make sure. for now: ]
... Well, I was hoping you'd allow me to apply some adjustments to your Omni device. I would also like to speak with your Omen if permitted. There are... unsavory subject matters that you shouldn't have to see or partake in. To filter them out will ensure that you'll continue to remain further away from any form of harm.
[ in other words: yes, klee, big bro albedo wants you on some sort of parental controls. ]
Uhuh! Kaeya built it for me so I can make my bombs and stuff! But I can only make bombs in there. Oooh, I should show you big brother. I made some new recipes with the funny mushrooms from here!
[The faint sound of excited clapping can be heard. Klee wants to show them off to Albedo. She's worked hard on them. ]
Okay. I don't mind! Klee sometimes see stuff that uses big words that Klee doesn't understand. [A moment to quiet chattering can be heard] Dodoco doesn't mind talking with you. She says it's okay.
[Though you can't see it. Dodoco ]does give a sigh of relief at hearing about filtering. She's had to steal Klee's Omni a few times in fake play to stop her from see adult material]
I will be more than happy to look over the new recipes you've developed. It'll certainly assist with my own personal research. If I may request one small thing, Klee... Let us please not have any bombs thrown around in the process of doing so.
[ klee seems to be the same as always, even in trench. a superficial assessment, but. considering her jubilant mood, it may not be best to ask about her experiences here. later, then, when she presents the opportunity in some way. ]
Do let Dodoco know that I am grateful for her consent. You may choose when and where we'll come to meet again, if you'd like. I'll be timely with my arrival and may come with a souvenir or two, though I suppose that depends on what resources you are currently scarce in.
Yay, thank you Albedo. You're the best! Okay, Klee promises not throw any bombs inside. Honest!
[She being absolutely sincere at that. Especially since she really likes her little sort of lab and accidentally burning the all the pictures she drew would be sad.]
Okay. Klee is free to go out, but not after dark. Kaeya says I can go outside when there lots of sunshine, but when it starts getting dark to come back and no going outside when it late! Umm, we can meet wherever even in my bomb lab is. I can invite people here. It in the backyard in the house I'm living with Kaeya.
[ albedo is aware of kaeya's address, but felt little need to bother with an actual visit. an invitation from klee is enough of an incentive, still. he'll take the backend of the home though. ]
No, no. There is no need to trouble yourself, Klee. It's safer that I come to you instead. Are there fences I ought to be aware of? Anything that may serve to ward intruders from his home?
[ don't stop him from using an isotoma to hop over whatever barrier is in his way, basically. ]
[Hopping in excitement at the thought of seeing Albedo, Klee shakes her head. It's been so long since she's spent time with her brother. Even living with Kaeya, she will always miss him. ]
Okay, Klee will be watching from the window. We have a little fence but it can open if you unlock it.
[ upon klee's suggestion, albedo does, in fact, unlock the door of the fence rather than rely on a solar isotoma to flit over the typical hurdles. does he spot her peeking from the window of her shack? whatever the case may be, he'll approach the little building, knuckles lightly knocking at the door, thrice. ]
Klee? It's me, Albedo.
[ saying it for good measure, in case kaeya strongly advised for her to only open the door for specific purposes. ]
It appears I arrived empty-handed. [ he continues on whether the door is finally opened or not. ] You haven't exactly told me if you needed anything.
[ what he doesn't tell her: he can simply sketch it out for her and manifest it into being anyway. ]
[ As she waited patiently at the door, she heard the knock and almost opened, but remembers one on Kaeya's rule. Don't open the door until they say who they are. Oh! Yay. It is Albedo. With a little hop, she opens the door hanging on to the doorknob as is swings open. Then hops and scrambles over to see him. Dodoco shaking her head in amusement with a sound that may or may not be laughter]
Albedo! You're here! Yay, Klee's missed you.
[Dodoco waddles over to watch. Klee moves to take his hand and hopefully lead him inside. On bit of manners she still remembers ]
Come in. Um, Klee knows that's she supposed offer food, but Klee's not allowed near the stove. Oh ummm.
Klee wants some fuses to make bombs. I found everything else, but the fuse I found here really weird. Oh this is Dodoco! You know her.
[ Dodoco, now next to Klee, bows her head before a paw emerges to wave a greeting at Albedo. Stoic little Omen that she is]
[ well, he did inform her of dried lizard tails, how she's more than welcomed to utilize those for gunpowder back in teyvat. providing fuses by way of alchemy shouldn't pose as a challenge or that big of an issue. after all, ground rules have been established, and she appears to be adhering to the spoken word kaeya has imparted to her. a good sign, perhaps, that she won't be blowing up anything any time soon. so it should be fine. maybe. ]
You needn't offer anything to me, Klee. Your company is more than welcomed during moments of respite.
[ albedo offers a little smile to dodoco in return for the greeting, kneeling down to both dodoco's and klee's eye-level for an easier, more trustworthy interaction. ]
I can provide a generous supply of them for you, but please always keep in mind what the Acting Grand Master has prohibited you from doing with your inventions. Now then, on the topic of the Omni device and Dodoco herself...
[She has a little petulant look on her face but nods. She remembers Jean's rule, but it shouldn't apply because they're not in Mondstat. ]
Klee remembers. [A pout] Klee only does experiment in the shack or somewhere there no people and only rocks. [ She perks up as the topic changes before nodding and take out her Omni before holding out. Dodoco wanders next to them as she heard her name. ]
You wanted to see it? Oh, Dodoco, big brother Albedo wants to talk to you. [ Dodoco turns to Albedo and nods. After a moment, you can hear a soft almost ethereal voice that responds. Yet, Dodoco's face remains impassive ]
[ albedo believes her; he hasn't caught wind of any inflammable incidents occurring within the city districts. but he does feel the need to remind her β ]
If you feel that you must protect yourself, however... I don't believe anyone would reprimand you for doing so.
[ worried sick for her welfare, yes, but upset over the methods used to ensure her own safety? well, no one can really blame her when trench is like this. but albedo finally looks to dodoco, summoning his own omen who sits, with a few beat of their wings, upon his shoulder: just a simple raven. ]
Do you trust us? ... I only ask due to the nature of the request. If Klee happens to receive messages of... the more unsavory nature, I would like to offer for you to direct them to my inbox instead. I can personally filter through them and either discard them in your and Klee's stead or, if I feel that it's imperative and/or acceptable for her to receive, I'll transcribe them to better fit the audience.
[ basically: if dodoco deems the messages unfit for klee's well-being, just send them all to albedo's omen and/or his omni device, and he'll report back to her of what he will decide to do with the contents of each message. with dodoco's consent, of course. as for klee's omni: albedo doesn't take it from her hands just yet. instead: ]
Do you trust me, Klee? [ he will direct that question to his sister as well. ] At least, with the Omni in your hands, if nothing else.
[Klee blinks at the question. It's such a funny and weird one! She gives him a big smile.]
Of course, I trust you. You're Klee's big brother! You're always made sure that Klee is happy and safe. You even make sure I don't get in worse trouble with Master Jean. I trust you the most. You need my Omni, so here!
[She holds out the Omni out to Albedo with full trust. She heard how some big brothers aren't nice, but Albedo is. It doesn't matter to her that they're not related. This is her brother. Nothing will change that. ]
