Not that you can't do what you please, but somehow, that isn't reassuring...
[Everyone here is so fucking wild, says Tartaglia Childe "come kick my ass every week in a pile of money" GenshinImpact. This will be extremely hypocritical in, oh, about four days.]
[I need everyone at unlocks to know that I, personally, hate this game with every fiber of my being
Childe looks like he's staring into the void for a good three seconds before he puts a hand to his forehead. There are some regrets happening in this chili's tonight.]
There are reasons I don't share everything I get up to, you know.
[Ah, what a question. A wicked sort of smile crosses their face at that.]
Envy is sweet. Ever so eager to please. And if you please them, they're quite happy. But oh, if you even think of looking another way...well, lets say that being warm is not something that will be on their minds after that.
[How many people are clown fucking... clucking... god.
Anyway. Childe's face doesn't change much; he just looks thoughtful as he takes in this information. But, oh--he blinks.]
What for?
[He says that but he does as he's asked at the same time, extending the hand with the Lust tattoo on it, merrily glowing through his glove like always. I think it's the left one?? I forgot tbh. MY BRAINCELL.]
Childe doesn't flinch, but there's a soft, sharp hiss of surprise and the barest tensing of muscle, like his first instinct would be to retaliate with a blow. It's only a second, though, and he doesn't try to pull away, just putting his other hand on his hip and waiting with a raised eyebrow.]

[And just.....a smirk.]
Ahahaha. Well, I think the succinct explanation is just..."indulgences".

[There's a very coy look, here.]
no subject
In terms of company, I have no complaints.
[...A pause.
Amends--]
--For the most part.
[Rude.]
no subject
Ohhhhhhhhh? Childe, you cannot simply say that and then keep quiet? Do tell, do tell!
no subject
But also wow, this eagerness for gossip... he laughs, shaking his head.]
Discretion, comrade, discretion! What would I do if it got back to them, hm?
no subject
[hmmm? HMMMMMMMM?]
I am very good at keeping secrets.
no subject
No okay she wouldn't care. So he just sighs, but there's amusement in his eyes.]
Well, I suppose Mahito wouldn't be offended anyway, even if he did hear how exhausting he is.
no subject
Mahito...?
[Eh?]
You...you had sex with Mahito?

no subject
[And then a laugh.]
[No, a peal of laughter. Douman is sincerely...amused?]
Childe! Oh, Childe. If he's giving you that much trouble...clearly I haven't been sating his appetite all that well.
[douman?]
no subject
Is that so...?
no subject
[And then a hand against their own chest.]
Mmmm. But now you're breaking my heart. You'll do it with him, but not with me...? Ah...this disappointment is...
no subject
You've got that right.
["ENERGETIC" IS ONE WORD FOR IT. Also closes my eyes because Childe just tilts his head slightly.]
Did I say that?
[Childe please either make better decisions or die immediately]
no subject
[They return that look, incredibly coy...until the smile turns up, mischievous.]
Ah, but maybe I should spare you so that you could have more energy to deal with dear Mahito?
[binch]
no subject
Childe just huffs out a laugh.]
Trust me, that's really not a problem. But I'm happy to leave him in your care.
[Just dumps the flea on the clown apparently, not that he has or wants any control over what Mahito does anyway...]
As for you and I, that's a conversation best saved for another time. I actually had a question for you.
no subject
[More flea for them. :)
[And the question nets Childe a curious look.]
Hm? What is it?
no subject
But back to business--he nods toward their Avatar symbol.]
I was planning to speak with Envy later today, but I haven't properly met them yet. Is there anything I should know about them?
no subject
[Ah, what a question. A wicked sort of smile crosses their face at that.]
Envy is sweet. Ever so eager to please. And if you please them, they're quite happy. But oh, if you even think of looking another way...well, lets say that being warm is not something that will be on their minds after that.
[And then, a noticeable pause.]
That reminds me! Please give me your hand.
[And just holding out their own!]

no subject
[And they don't even continue - with a sharp tug upward, they move to sink a bite into Childe's inner wrist.]
[Fun!]
no subject
Childe doesn't flinch, but there's a soft, sharp hiss of surprise and the barest tensing of muscle, like his first instinct would be to retaliate with a blow. It's only a second, though, and he doesn't try to pull away, just putting his other hand on his hip and waiting with a raised eyebrow.]
no subject
[That being done, Douman detaches themselves from Childe's wrist, lowering it with a altogether too-pleasant smile.]
Thank you. Please let that be a reminder to dear Envy, hm? A reminder of who they should focus on.
no subject
From the sound of it, you suit each other.
no subject
There must be a reason I'm on their team, don't you think?
