[There was still a lot of things that Faruzan didn't know about this world. For one thing, she didn't know what a mall was until recently nor did she realize that virtual games were the newest trend among people. However, if there was one thing she knew, it was criminal activity. Between the news in the Akademiya and the various things that happen in Sumeru, she was no stranger to these kind of things.
That said, as she looked around the area, she was waiting to see what she could do. Undercover work was not her specialty but she was willing to give it a try.]
Then shall we get going? You might know where to start.
[ Save for his tenure in the realm of Nippon, Nightwake and the whole of Ellipsa was far less of a culture shock for him. Cloud couldn't say that he was somebody who would toil away hours on end in arcades, but...he's come to appreciate them! This must be what the Gold Saucer was like? At least, from what he's heard. But as for the rest of the city (and the seedy underbelly that accompanies it), now that was a game the would-be SOLDIER knew all too well.
Unfortunately, toting around a gargantuan weapon like the Buster Sword wasn't going to do him or his partner any favors in blending. Nor did he have the privilege of being able to disperse or summon his weaponry as some from the realm of Teyvat were capable of. Thankfully? He has a more "tame" weapon by comparison in the form of his Odachi! Now, the real question was...how would he and Madam Faruzan fare in this conditions? ]
First things first is finding our inside man. [ In the meantime, the two were leisurely walking down one of the multiple strips of the Underground Mall. ...frankly, it didn't matter what they wore. His naturally spiky hair and her bright teal hair made them stand out amongst the crowd. It's a good thing they had time to come up with aliases and an alibi of their relationship, however they chose to spin it for this assignment. ] Somebody with a cross-shaped tattoo on their face...
[ Would they be window shopping? Inside one of these shops? They wouldn't be just standing around doing nothing and waiting for them. All they had to go on was this location, to keep their eyes peeled, and that they had a relatively short window to locate them. ]
[Whatever Cloud was up to, Faruzan had no choice but to follow his lead. It seemed that he had been in this world for quite sometime and she had hoped he knew what he was doing. As she saw him coming closer, she simply tilted her head at the sight of a certain weapon behind him. Was he a claymore user? Immediately, she wondered how strong he was and just how much backup he'll need.
Such a heavy sword would leave him open to attacks should he make a mistake. Crossing her arms, she gave a sigh as she shook her head.]
Cross-shaped tattoo on their face? Is that what young people are into these days? I don't quite understand the need to put so many marks in such a place.
[Granted, there were people from her own culture that would do such a thing. But when it was outside of religious practices? It seemed so strange. As she walked around with Cloud within the mall, she tilted her head to the side as she pondered to herself a bit. Looking at the various shops around them, she pointed to an arcade.]
Perhaps if he is that young, he could be in one of those 'arcade games' I heard so much about?
[ It was a toss-up between leaving the blade at home, or simply thinking little of it as it was equipped on his person. After all, while uncommon, it wasn't like weapons weren't outlawed... Just- of course, be prepared to face the consequences if you otherwise lash out. This is Clandon, not prosing that he left the Buster Sword at home good enough but IT'S HERE ]
If you're a gang member, probably... Some get them as a form of initiation. I've seen my fair share of tattooed thugs in the slums back home.
[ As they walk, when he feels that Faruzan wasn't looking in his direction, Cloud...can't help but discreetly give her a onceover from the corner of his eye. Ever since being tasked with her, she was 'Madame' Faruzan. Querying what 'young' people were into. He knew that a good skincare treatment would do wonders for one's physical appearance but. She looks...well, to be frank, she looks like she's his girlfriend's age. That is, to say, younger than him. But then she's addressing the arcade and sure enough! It's actually a good idea. ]
First time ever going to one of these?
[ Judging by the Anemo Vision he spots on her person, was there anywhere in Teyvat that had architecture and technology like the kind found around Nightwake? Well...they may be here on a mission, but it's only going to help them both if she's in the know. ]
[At this point, it seems like she was going to let Cloud do all the talking. He was more familiar with how gangs worked compared to hear. Instead, she'll just keep on walking around to see if there was anything unusual. So far, it seems that everything appeared to be as normal as it was around the mall.
With a sigh, she shook her head.]
No, I'm afraid not but I am new to them. I have visited them previously when I arrived here and yet, there are still many things that I do not understand. I'm still trying to grasp how one manages to create these "VR games" or how to make moving pictures in these boxes.
[She had heard from a kamera back home but it was nothing as detailed as this. Crossing her arms, she raised an eyebrow at him. So far, he seemed to be a rather respectful young man. And yet, with his knowledge of gang activity, she had to wonder just how much she could trust him.]

...It seems all so complicated.
