But... but that's not happening anymore, right? [ and he's moving his hand toward scara's arm to make sure it's come back. he breathes out a sigh of relief, trying to quell his rising anger that any of this happened at all. the bomb game hadn't even been this bad, but perhaps that's because they hadn't set the fucken thing off. he squeezes scara that much tighter. ] My place or yours?
I know this might seem counterintuitive, but we can go to the winter cabin. It might be kind of a shit trip to get there, but I promise to keep you warm once we're there.
[ slips a hand into his jacket to start petting scaramouche. ] I thought I lose you, Pticka. [ heading back to wild city and then to his room, so he can head into the hatch and start trekking through the snow. ]
[ as soon as he reaches the cabin he heads over to the couch, taking a seat and moving scara!meow into his lap. ] Do you want me to change you back, or would you like to stay a kitten a little bit longer, Kotik?
Just a little longer then. [ he keeps petting him, so he doesn't have to worry about getting cold, but he'll start singing a snezhnayan lullaby under his breath... something he barely even seems to register he's doing at first. ]
Ah, true. [ childe shifts, moving his tails out from under himself, so he can drape them over scaramouche. ] I still hate that you had to go through all of that. You were on some... sinking boat? [ gives him another gentle kiss. ] I guess I'm just going to have to spoil my little Kotik, make sure to help him forget all about that stupid game.
It's a real sacrifice... but [ he cups his chin and gives him a kiss. ] you're absolutely worth it. Just tell me what you'd like, when you'd like it, and how much of it you'd like, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.
[ Well. At that he'll just bury his head in his chest, taking a few moments to answer ]
... I love you. I love you like I never loved anyone in my entire life. So much that it hurts to think about sometimes. But I'm happy with you. You really do make me happy.
... [ oh. that hits him real hard, the arm he's got draped around scara tightening unintentionally. he ducks his head and looks aside, his feelings becoming a touch overwhelming for a moment. he manages to rein them in and avoid letting any tears fall, but just barely. ] I love you too, Pticka, and... and I'm glad you love me too. I can't even find the words to describe how happy I am anymore. It transcends anything I'm capable of really understanding. I just know I'm really fucken happy.
... Maybe after I travel for a while, I can settle down in Teyvat with you. By the time I'm done enough time will have passed ... and maybe it'll be a different world altogether.
There's still a lot I want to see, though. And I want to take you with me to see it all too, at some point. Zhongli could come along as well.
If you do intend to come back, then I can have a space ready… a house… a safe space… [ hums, giving a nod. ] Yeah, maybe, things are constantly changing back home, so… I wouldn’t be surprised if it was different. But something that won’t change is how I’ll be waiting for you.
Mm, that would be nice. I’m sure there’s a lot to see out there… and getting to do so with you and even Xiansheng would be incredible. It seems like I’m the only one tied up, h- heh…

I’m glad you weren’t in the game.
