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...]
I'm not saying what you should or shouldn't have done. And Lust made her own decision. I'm calling you an idiot because you couldn't understand why Medb would be upset.
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.
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.
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.

[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 now he doesn't want to say he still doesn't get it so he just scratches the back of his neck awkwardly]

She's mad because I... hurt her pride...?
no subject
She's mad because it makes the relief she felt worthless.

[Folding their arms!]
True, I do not know of your relationship. But she was upset, truly.

A sigh.]
If we make it out of here, I'll explain properly.
no subject
[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.
