Summary
"I’ll walk back to Mondstadt. You can follow if you want to or you can keep your distance. You can run, or you can try to attack me,” His gaze dipped briefly to the boy’s blade. “Either way, I’ll keep walking.”
Lohen did not move, just silently stared, so Varka turned his back. It was a risk, a foolish one, perhaps. Every nerve in his body knew it. The space between his shoulder blades prickled, waiting for the kiss of metal, for that impossibly clean edge to find its mark.
But nothing came.

Summary
Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face.
“Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.”
The boy stared at him.
Varka waited.
The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon.
Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.”
No agreement came.
Of course it didn’t.
Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.”
The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction.
“Good enough.”
Or:
Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him.
NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.

Summary
Gunther lowered his bow, unease prickling at the back of his neck. “…Sir?” he asked carefully. “What are you doing?”
“I believe I’m having a staring contest with a Harbinger,” Lohen said lightly, his tone almost conversational.
“Ah. Right. Of course—” Gunther nodded once, automatic and obedient. Then the words caught up with him. “…Wait, what?”
Or
The Fifth Company of the Knights was conducting ranged practice in Wolvendom. Tartaglia took slight issue with this… and was promptly defeated.
