[ 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?

[ good. He's going to reach for his wrists so he can pin them above his head, and then leans in to kiss him ]

[ sits up a little bit, meeting him for that kiss, which he winds up groaning into. fuck, this is hot. ]

[ oh. he likes the way he looks right now. He keeps with the kiss, still holding his wrist together, and then he shifts so he can talk into his ear ]

Even with another delusion, your rightful place is beneath me.

[ this is such a fucken turn on. he hates it. he hates how easily this bastard can affect him. it's not fair. scaramouche is going to know just how hard he is the moment he leans down to talk in his ear, because his erection is going to be poking him. ] I tried to get a gnosis, but I couldn't... all I could get was another delusion... but eventually... maybe...

[ oh ... he likes that. And he's going to kiss behind his ear, trailing down to his neck so he can bite, trying to mark him ]

Trying to steal one for yourself? Or for the Tsaritsa?

[ childe keens and continues to squirm beneath him. ] ...f- for myself. If I can't become an adepti or a youkai, then I don't have much of a choice. If there are multiple realities, then I might be able to steal one from another. [ he's not going to screw over his tsaritsa, but... a different one, eh, that's that childe's problem. ]

[ he's going to stick his knee between his legs, shifting so he can grind it against him ]

So you intend to become a god ... Well, I'm not surprised.
