...no, not... right now. [ that might sting a little too much, especially since it's not going to be exactly the same. he does appreciate it though, a lot, and he'll probably bug him later on to do it. ]

[ sets a hand on scara's back, gently rubbing. ] I... think I will, though I may leave to go see sensei at some point, though I could just bother Emet-Selch to ask him over.

Mmm. That's fine.

Cosmo might make some kale smoothies, if you want something healthy.

I'm not interested in healthy.

You can also take a bite out of me if that's better.

[ that's all he needs. he sinks his teeth in, so he can start drinking. ]

[ there's a soft groan escaping past his lips at that, and he brings his hand to the back of his head, keeping it there ]

Just like that. That's nice, isn't it?

[ he hums against his neck, digging his nails into his back to hold him that much closer. he’s not letting go, he’s not losing Scaramouche too. he’ll drink until he’s feeling lightheaded, removing his fangs then and only then. ] Im not letting you go anywhere tonight, …

[ he lets out a short, breathless laugh. This situation is bad, he's out of his element trying to make things better instead of worse - but staying with childe like this feels nice, and he loves feeling lightheaded because of him. Letting him take everything he has ]

Who said I was planning on letting YOU go anywhere...?

Good, don’t, I don’t want either of us to have to feel alone right now. [ he flips them and bodily pins Scaramouche to the bed, burying his face in the back of his neck. ] …thank you, Scaramouche. [ squeeze. ]

... Mmm.

If Zhongli isn't around then I need to take care of you for him as well, no?

I’m sure he’d appreciate that, especially since I have been getting into a lot of trouble lately. [ trouble he hasn’t even been looking for! but wild city is in a losing streak slump. ]

You have been very naughty. It's unacceptable.

I guess that just means I'll have to stay here, under house arrest.

That's right.

[ he shifts so he can kiss the top of his head ]

I could even perform just for you.

I'd make you do that anyway. I like when you perform privately for me.

And do you want a performance with or without my clothes on?

Normally I would opt for clothes off, but I'm not really interested in doing anything like that right now.

You can admire my body without "doing" anything. And you should worship me.

[ he's bringing his arms around him, just holding him like that ]

Should I ask you if you want to talk about how you feel?

...as soon as I'm feeling right as rain I'll worship you. [ he really doesn't have it in him to do much beyond... be a sad sack. but that does earn a snort, an appreciative one. ] Do you really want to know?

Why not? I always delight in human misery.

And I don't know if it will help you, but I think I would have liked someone to hear me out when I was grieving for Katsuragi's death.

Im just immensely sad. I know Zhongli Xiansheng can take care of himself, wherever he is, but I’d much rather he be here… I wanted to leave this place together, so we could both move forward…

But now I… don’t know how that’s going to happen, …

I hate feeling so… helpless. Why do you think I want to get stronger, become the strongest, so I can prevent things like this from happening, or even if I can’t I can do something about it.

He's just in a different part of hell, ins't he? When you leave this place, take him with you with or without hell's permission. He is yours, no?

I… guess. I don’t really know. [ childe just laughs. ] Oh, I had no intention of *asking* permission, because he is mine. [ the ring he’s got on says as much. ] And they’re going to pay for making me experience all this heartache.

Burn it all to the ground for the slight. I like that.

[ noses the mark he bit into his neck earlier. ] I’d do the same for you, Kuniku.
