And if you do die… [ his ears are pinned back and he looks worried. mochi, do you know what you’re trying to do? ]

I won't.

I'm not on my own this time. But I won't object to it if you decide to deflect and join me instead, mm?

Is Haruki going to give you the gnosis?

He's offered it, but I don't want it.

I did ask him to come watch me get my revenge, but it's unlikely he'll leave his Sumeru.

I thought he couldn't leave, since he's stuck in Shouki no Kami. [ but that aside he hates this. ]

He's not stuck in here, so my plan was to have him come with me before he could go back to his world.

But like I said, I don't think he will ever agree. I do plan on extracting as much knowledge from Dottore as I can to fix that particular problem, though.

Either way, you can relax. I know what I'm doing.

...mm. [ he's almost certain one of them had said he couldn't leave the machine, but it might have been haruki. unless the both of them figured out something since then. his head still hurts and all of this is just way too much for him, so he simply nods. ] I'll try. [ to relax, that is, which is going to be an impossibility at the moment. ]

[ he turns into a fox and promptly burrows under the sheets. ]

I'll stay alive no matter what. That is a promise I made to Haruki, and it's a promise I'll make to you as well.

[ he's going to grab him from under the covers so he can place him on top of himself again ]

But it would certainly make things easier for me if you joined me instead.

[ curls up instantly. ] …of course it would be. [ drapes his tails over his own face. ]

You better not break your promise.

I won't.

[ he's going to pull those tails away so he can kiss his snoot ]

If the choice is between getting revenge and living, I will give up on my revenge. As much as it'd pain me to do so, there are things worth living for. And revenge is not that.

[ he licks at mochi’s nose. ] I can’t lose you now, Mochi, …not after everything. We can finally try being happy… [ he changes back to pin him down. ] together. [ he kisses him deeply. ]

If you still want your revenge, then after helping her Majesty… we can drag Dottore back to the other Teyvat, so you and Haruki can kill him. [ again, together. bonding!!! ]

[ he kisses him back, but— ]

It's not just Dottore. The Fatui are the one responsible for what happened to me. At the very least I have to take down Pierro too, he's the one who recruited me at Dottore's request.

I can't say my goals align with her majesty anymore, either. And I need to kill them myself. I'd let Haruki take a piece of them if he wants - he deserves it as much as I do. But it has to be us.

You get it, right?

I didn’t mean you needed to help her. I need to. Afterward I could help if you wanted, but it seems you’d rather do that on you own, which is fine… [ but he really doesn’t think it’s worth the risk. ] I get it, but we can at least see how things proceed up until that point before committing to anything like that, right? [ this is going to bother him until the decision is made, but he’s going to drop it after this. ]

[ he changes back and moves off Scaramouche, burrowing back under the sheets. ] …that should be a conversation for later besides. We still need to get out of this stupid place.

I'm sure we'll find a solution. There's no need to be so gloomy now.

... Especially since you're choosing to stay with me.

[ pokes his head out. ] You’re right, and of course I was going to stay with you. I love you, Mochi. [ burrows under his shirt, so his furry head can pop out and he can kiss him. ]

I love you too. And that's never going to change.

I know I’m just going to grow more and more fond of you, Mochi. And I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you.

Me too. There's nothing that would make me happier than living with you and Haruki.

I know he doesn’t like coming over Snail for more than a few hours, but maybe we could all spend time time together. Camping could be fun… and getting to kill the creatures in the forest would make it all the more sweeter when they try to ruin our fun.

Mmm ... the three of us together and covered in monsters blood. That would be fun.

[lWe’ll have to plan something, but for now I just want to spend time with you.

Mmm. I'm not going to say no to that.

You were really cute when you were young, you know.

Oh? I don't remember much of what happened, but [ he gives him a kiss. ] I know I made a promise to you, and it's a promise I intend to keep. Perhaps I'll breed you too, [ a smirk. ] ...would you like that?

[ ... well. the look on his face is certainly enough of an answer in and of itself ]

...Yeah. I think I'd like that.

[ childe leans in reeeeal close to give him a kiss. ] Oh? you really like that, hm? You want to be stuffed full of my eggs, Mochi?
