[He
lifts a hand, pressing it to the back of his mouth to hide his smile.]
That's more or less what I told her, yes. [TERRIBLE.] She was very offended that I implied there was a chance she wouldn't kill me for her goals. That's the only reason we ever got as close as we did--I wouldn't have accepted it otherwise.
[Of course Childe couldn't have a normal fucking ship.
But he also doesn't know that Medb is furious at him for saving himself, so there's that]

...You really were toying with the wrong woman for that, Childe.
[Because even at Limbo at the reins, even he could tell that was a lady not to be trifled with.]
She's going to kill you the next time she sees you, you know. I think the gall of you surviving at your own hand that was quite a blow to her esteem.
[yeah they're just going to Say It]

[Oh
Well, he still looks kind of confused]
Yes, Lust told me as much. It's close enough to the truth, so I told her to let them think what they wanted. [but--] Why was Medb angry about it? Because I didn't tell her?
[congrats Douman you've unlocked the secret "dumb man" side of Childe's personality]

WHY IS HE GETTING YELLED AT
He lifts both hands defensively, though he still looks bewildered. Poor Douman, having to deal with this.]
I was always going to die again shortly after anyway! [HE SAYS, LIKE IT WAS OBVIOUS, because it was.] Besides, just because it didn't stick doesn't mean it didn't count. She did a fantastic job killing me!
[Childe]
There was no use in mentioning it when I didn't even know if it would work or not. Lust told me she'd never seen a condemned survive an execution before. And it could only revive me halfway--they're the ones who brought me to the medical bay.

Because she was relieved that you lived on for longer, thought someone saved you, and then she hears you saved yourself?
[LIKE...HELLO??]
She obviously cared for you and with that sort of move one would think you're a sociopath! Well....actually, maybe you are.

[
Well,]
Technically, Lust saved me. I didn't ask her for that power.
[SO SOMEONE ELSE DID SAVE HIM by giving him the power to save himself...]
What was I supposed to do, waste it to make them all feel good? [Hah. He would never. And more importantly--] Lust would've been heartbroken. I couldn't do that to her even if I'd wanted to.
[not!sibling takes priority over kinda!girlfriend...]

[Douman is so valid
For a minute, Childe looks like he's remembering something, a doubtful frown on his face; but then he turns his gaze away with a small, uncomfortable shrug.]
...I'm not so sure that's it. I think you're overestimating her feelings for me.

...I'm not so sure that's it. I think you're overestimating her feelings for me.
Oh, no, I definitely believe she's angry with me. [Easily! Even though he doesn't seem too bothered about that part.] But I doubt it had anything to do with concern or relief. Her heart isn't that soft.
[God he hopes she's just mad he stole her kill. If she let herself get all emotional over him he's going to tear his own hair out.
A sigh.]
If we make it out of here, I'll explain properly.

It's not that soft, but it isn't as if she doesn't have a heart in the first place, Childe.
[Like, come on. To say otherwise would be an insult.]
...She's one who appreciates the strong, and the willing. Even if I am not her Servant...even I can appreciate that. You'd better make it up to her.

It would probably be better if she didn't have one. Then she wouldn't be fond of a person like me.
[This sounds so dramatic and angsty but he just sounds like it's a factual statement, with a hint of amusement.]
But you can rest assured that I'm doing everything I can to ensure we make it out of here somehow. If we manage that, I'll worry about her feelings. I'd prefer not to die a third time.
