i was thinking about how Surtalogi & Dainsleif (genshin) being related in some way and it made me think of Chaeya stuff. because like, there's those stories with Dainsleif being Kaeya's personal guard of sorts... and then Surtalogi is the name of uhh The Foul, which is Skirk's master, and Skirk is Childe's master.

imagining a royal au where Childe being a knight-in-training meets the prince of the eclipse dynasty because Surtalogi wanted to meet with Dainsleif, and Childe gets introduced to Kaeya in a less formal setting and smth smth...
