Caeli; DTF?

[ down to fight and/or fuck. ]

Mochi: What

Caeli; Meet me outside, back of our house.

Mochi: Why ...

[ but here he is. walking to the back of the snhouse ]

[ no response, but he does smile as soon as he sees scara. ] How are you feeling? I thought we could use another workout. [ grins. ]

And what type of workout are you thinking of?

...well I had a couple of things in mind, but for here, specifically, [ he summons his hydro spear. ] just a regular spar. I have a few new things I want to try out. [ scara might be able to tell that something is a little off about a childe. nothing on the outside, but the aura he gives off has changed just a little bit. ]

[ he's quiet as he examines him - he can tell something is different but he doesn't know what ]

Fine. I'll humor you just this once.

Just this once? [ pouts. ] Really? I bet you'll have fun too, and it doesn't hurt to stay active. I'll make it worth your while, Mochi~ if you agree to play with me some more in the future.

As usual you overestimate how fun fighting you can be.

[ and with that he activates his vision, floating up in the air ]

Don't bore me now, Caeli.

[ he brings a hand to his heart. ] I'm hurt, Mochi, I thought you always had fun sparring me... or do you really hate losing that much. [ he laughs and just bolts at him, like a literal bolt of purple lightning. as soon as he reappears he summons a torrent of electro infused water, one that forms a hammer to try to knock him out of the air. ]

[ it hits him, but he recovers fast, dashing toward him right after and then sending a windblade at him ]

That's all you've got for me?

Ha! Who do you take me for, somebody dull! [ he dodges the wind strike and turns into a hydro ball, skirting past scara as a geo pillar in the form of a cresting whale rises up from the earth to knock him off kilter. ]

[ that is more than a little concerning. The moment he sees a geo pillar he's already asking himself HOW, but he ends up getting hit and falling right on the ground ]

—What's that?

[ childe strides over and, as dumb as an idea it might be, he straddles him and crouches down, grinning sharply. ] What’s what? Looks like you got a little distracted, Mochi.

[ wow!! now his pride is getting hurt, but he's not pushing him away ]

You used Geo.

I did. [ the ground beneath them rumbles, several Geo fish jumping out as if it were water. there aren’t many, and it’s taking a great deal of focus at the moment, but he’s absolutely trying to show off. he moves off him, taking a seat at his side. ] what do you think?

[ what does he think ... he's worried, obviously. ]

It's not a bad idea to have more at your disposal. But can you handle it.

Of course I can. [ and it makes him feel just a little bit closer to zhongli. ] I’m fine. I’ve been practicing with it.

Delusions can further drain your life energy. Are you sure you can do it?

…yeah. [ he reveals the delusion for scaramouche to see, turning it around and giving it a small smile. ] I can’t stop getting stronger, and the strain is something I can handle. It’s not that bad… and besides, I’m not about to do down that easily. I know what I said the other day, because it’s been hard not to feel a little depressed about how wrong everything suddenly went, but no one and no thing is going to stop me from getting what I want.

... Fine. Just don't die on me just because you want to be stronger.

I'm not going to die. I'm going to see if there's something I can do to... turn my fate around. Nothing is set in stone.

[ a pause, and then he shifts to try to push him down the ground so he can straddle him ]

[ not expecting this, so he goes down easily with a grunt. ] Mochi?
