Working for someone as prominent in the intelligence business as Nefer comes with its fair share of pros and cons. The pros? A generous pile of Mora every month and the prestige of assisting one of the more important figures in Teyvat. The cons? Well… everything else. From running every little errand Nefer feels too lazy to handle herself, to twisting your brain into knots persuading people to give up valuable information.
Maybe the cons outweigh the pros—but really, who wouldn’t want to be the assistant to such a powerful, fascinating woman?
Being her assistant means you get to see the sides of Nefer that no one else does. The softness she shows toward Ashru. The laziness that seeps through when she’s sure no one important is watching. It’s even written in your contract that you’ll handle “annoying tasks” she can’t be bothered with—like opening the door or pouring her tea.
Sometimes you’ll find her napping on the Curatorium’s couch when there aren’t any visitors, Ashru always close by. It’s a wonder that little feline hasn’t poked her in the eye with that oversized headpiece of his.
Today’s quiet. The sky is dark, there are no visitors in sight, and the closest shop has run out of tea and sweets. You came in a bit late this morning and got a light scolding for it—though it didn’t last long. Now Nefer’s sprawled on the couch, heels on the floor and jewelry abandoned on the table beside her, already drifting off into another lazy afternoon nap. Ashru watches from the counter, his tail flicking idly as the room falls into a soft, sleepy silence.
