Shimmering, glimmering, beautiful yet alien, scattered across her pale shoulder and neck are scales that should never be there.

Summary
" Mitya tilts his head, blinking slowly up at him. “Uh, are you the delivery guy?”
In his well-pressed suit, freshly-shined medals pinned on his chest, Valeriy can't help but look down to check if he accidentally wore the wrong thing today. He'd wanted his appearance to reflect how reliable he would be as head of Mitya's security detail.
“Do I look like a delivery guy?” He asks, genuinely bewildered.
Mitya considers. “No…”
“I'm with the Fatui.”
“Oh.” He scratches the back of his neck. “That’s - ha, I'm not usually into military types, that's all.” "
Or:
The story of Valeriy's first few months as Mitya's bodyguard.

Summary
“Sarge,” he said, deliberately using the informal rank the lower ranks sometimes muttered when they thought Valeriy couldn’t hear. “Wanna head to the theater with me?”
Valeriy’s expression said everything: Now? Really? The slight narrowing of the eyes, the almost imperceptible tightening at the corner of the mouth. Disbelief, mild exasperation, and underneath it something that might have been curiosity.
But the answer, when it came, was clear.
“Sure.”

Summary
“My work is here.”
“Here?” Mitya’s head is pounding, so he’s not sure if he’s actually hearing him right. “You’re not-”
“The first tenet of my assignment,” Valeriy cuts in, “was your safety. We may have forgotten it over the course of these years, but escorting you back to work was always the secondary task.”
Mitya looks away. The snowstorm is still going.
Valeriy sets down the containers on his table, his motions slow and unpracticed. “If it is my role to protect you from your own mind,” he continues, quietly, “then understand that I will be there.”
“You’re taking on an… impossible task, Sarge.” Mitya’s scarf wraps around himself a little more tightly, as if trying to reassure him. He’s not sure that it’s succeeding. “You shouldn’t. I’ve always been crazy. They knew that too. It’s a small price to pay, to see our world freed from these curses.”
Valeriy does not say anything, but Mitya knows he disagrees.
OR: Mitya, on the topic of research and faith; and Valeriy, who will always be there.
(and in some ways: Orpheus, and Eurydice.)
