[ 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?

[ he’s purring again and rubbing his head against him, so he probably enjoys this ]

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. ]

[ He’ll bring a paw to his face, and then lick his nose ]

[ /// ]

[ changes him back, so he can give him a kiss. ]

[ cute. He’ll wrap his arms around him and kiss him back ]

I’m glad you weren’t in the game.

...if I had been there, then maybe I could have helped. [ thumbs over scaramouche's lips. ]

Or maybe we would have been against each other and I would have had to kill you.

...

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.

Yes. I'll need plenty of attention and even more kisses to wipe those bad thoughts away. It's a sacrifice, but I'm sure you can manage.

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…

... Mm. Good thing we live longer than humans do. We can wait until that's no longer the case.

[ he grips onto scara a bit more tightly. ] …yeah. [ so far he doesn’t have a solution to his own problem, and he’s banking on that wish, since it’s really a toss up if he’ll be able to get five and hades’ help by the time he’s graduated. ]

You're not allowed to abandon me. So you have to wait no matter what.

I’m going to. I just… don’t take too long. I know there’s a lot to see, but I want to see you again too. [ buries his face in the back of Scara’s neck and shuts his eyes. ]
