[They can hehe, as a treat. Childe looks amused too, though he tilts his head slightly.]
And how does one indulge in Envy, care to enlighten me?
[As for himself, he lifts the hand his mark is on, where it glows merrily through his gloves as usual. I should make up my mind which one it is SO IT'S THE LEFT ONE. He's just holding it loosely up to look at it.]
Well, it's certainly the easiest assignment I've had in a while.

Mmm, enlighten you? I don't know if I should enlighten someone who thinks more with their lust for violence and chaos than with anything resembling a brain.
[.............This is passive aggression as an example CHILDE DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY]
Easy? How many bedmates have you made, hm?

[HOW IS PASSIVE-AGGRESSION AN EXAMPLE OF ENVY HELLO DON'T BE RUDE, DOUMAN!! Fortunately Childe has a braincell and this is different enough from how Douman usually acts around him that he can figure it out. It's fine.]
Haha, you really aren't having any trouble.
[You go Clown Coco. The question just makes him smile, and he lifts his shoulder in a shrug, dropping his hand again.]
Enough, I suppose.

I'm not sure I'd say that.
[There are so many different ways to "engage", after all, and he's not really averse to any of them. Terrible.]
It's true that none of you could give me what I came here for, but I can't say I'm not enjoying myself along the way.

[Ah, there's a familiar head of shocking red hair. Douman approaches the other, their face...well, it has a smile on it, but overall, its impossible to read. Placid, like the surface of a puddle.]
Well! [They say, after a pause.] That...certainly didn't go down well, hm.

[Ah yes, his clown in shining armor. Hey there, buddy.
Childe has a smile to give them in return, but it's a little distracted, and there's a sharp, thoughtful look in his eyes.]
I can't say I had many expectations, but I was still quite surprised. [Mostly by how many people earnestly tried to solve a murder here tbh lol] What are your thoughts?

[He lifts a hand, counting off on his fingers.]
Not all of us were made to sleep, and whatever they gave us was powerful enough to ensure light sleepers like myself didn't awaken at any noise. [Which is pretty fucking hard, considering the other people who were in the room with him.] Tamaki, and Beauregard--or whoever, if we're to believe their words--apparently had free rein of the place throughout the night.
[He drops his hand with a sigh.]
And the rest of the pieces of the puzzle are almost certainly being withheld.

Mm. So it was all part of a grand plan. The setup was in place. This wasn't hastily thrown together, either. And our Avatars certainly weren't at all worried.
[Sometimes people die in the indulgence house and its fine? Its fine, somehow.]
Someone is playing a game at our expense.

[If Childe were a pettier person, he'd be going to everyone who was baffled by his intense distrust of the Avatars over the week and saying "I told you so"!!! But he is not and did not.
He does put his hands on his hips, though, shaking his head.]
Honestly, this again... is it really that hard to inform your pawns when you're about to start the game?
[Childe your Zhongli trauma is showing]

[He smiles; it's a bit tired.] Don't worry about it. Just remembering an unpleasant task.
[The unpleasant task of not getting to 1v1 god
But anyway. He breathes out a short laugh.]
I think it started the minute we agreed to be here, really. Perhaps even before that.

[Indeed it is. He was hoping that once first blood got spilled, they'd have more answers, but right now it feels like they just have more questions.]
These things always have some kind of organizer. [Someone in charge--whether that's one of the Avatars, or someone above them, he hasn't decided yet. He hasn't spoken to all of them enough to know.]
