[Douman is...in a different outfit this time! Something that further exposes their body, though instead of seals in places, there are simply bandages. Looks like someone might have helped him clean up after the whole boat event - there's even a bandage across their nose.]
If we'd ended up down your river, I'd certainly feel the same. [Childe is afraid of like one thing in the world and it's not ghosts so it's not like they bothered him anyway, but still.]
Yes, we were fine. [He nods to the bandages.] Are all those from the leeches?
Oh, my indulgences? Mmmm, I've been doing where I can. Its not terribly difficult, but Envy does require certain...circumstances, to be in order. And you?
[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]
[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.]
You say that, but your wish that brought you here, and your desire that you engage with others aren't exactly the same, hm? One may satisfy one, but not the other.

Did you?

Childe laughs, though.]
Not as much as you, apparently. What happened?
no subject
[EVEN CLOWN GOT TIRED OF LEECHES and wow they will never tell who was being cute with them]
Mmm. You?
no subject
No leeches, fortunately. Just some ghosts, and a boat that couldn't decide if it wanted to exist or not.
[The S.S. Yakety Sax...]

But at least you seem unhurt!

[That's not exactly his idea of a good time...]
I hope there was a purpose to all of this.

Maybe they wanted to distract us from destroying more furniture.
[Childe does not include himself in Team Property Damage because he only broke one chair, and he's using it!!
But no, it's just a joke.]
Mm, that would be better. I don't mind putting on a performance, but I much prefer being told beforehand.
no subject
[Douman has been a GOOD CLOWN and has not destroyed anything smh at everyone else.]
Oh, yes, yes! I feel the same. I am made to perform, but not on a whim, and mm. Certainly not just for anyone.
no subject
[Can't wait to wake up to 200 bottles of scorpion milk out of spite or something.
But, on that note--he glances at the tattoo on Douman's hand.]
Speaking of performing, how's that coming along?
[are ya sinnin', son]

[DON'T HEHE]
Oh, my indulgences? Mmmm, I've been doing where I can. Its not terribly difficult, but Envy does require certain...circumstances, to be in order. And you?
[And a glance to Childe's hand, smirking.]
Having fun?

Easy? How many bedmates have you made, hm?
no subject
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.
no subject
Haha, I most certainly am not.
[And a light laugh.]
Enough you say, but...satisfying? Or are you finding yourself wanting more?
no subject
If my desire could be sated so easily, I wouldn't have agreed to come here.

[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.
