All mortals live for but a blink of an eye. If nothing else at least you've always held fast to your convictions. As foolish as it is I don't dislike that about you.

... But I am glad that here and now you're still alive.

[ grabs his sleeve and starts tugging him closer, though a low rumbling sounds from the darkness and an enormous pair of glistening teeth appear from out of the void. ]

[ Well.

That's distracting. He's curious about what it is, but he's not in a hurry to die. So for now, he'll just put a barrier around the two of them ]

And what is it that you're dreaming now?

[ it doesn’t seem friendly… so better to err on the side of caution, though it’s presence does push against the barrier created; threatening to break it. ]

…the abyss.

What a bad place.

Do you want to stay?

[ shrugs. ] It's a part of me... but I'm feeling numb right now, so maybe leaving is a good idea.

[ he's going to take them to a mountain cabin - raging snow outside and super cold, but they're dressed appropriately and by the fire ]

[ this is a nice surprise, but he's still feeling shitty. ] ...thank you for forgiving me. [ tightens his grip on scaramouche. ] Have you enjoyed bingo otherwise?

You're not going to tell me about your experience in the Abyss?

I've learned a few weaknesses here and there. My Unit has been getting on my case trying to make sure I will feel comfortable and at home.

I didn't know you wanted to know about it, but I also don't really like talking about it. How I feel about the abyss is complicated...

Do you?

No. The Fatui headquarters is the most at home I ever felt and even that was hardly comfortable.

I’m only curious. I didn’t know you’d been there.

…we could try making a space for you with a dorm upgrade. Even if you don’t necessarily feel at home at BiT having a place to retreat to when you’re feeling like shit is always nice.

I fell in when I was a kid. It’s where I learned the Foul Legacy technique and why I’m significantly more tainted than most. [ cracks a small smile that he can’t quite keep in place. ]

Yvette has already proposed that. She asked what I'd be more at home with so she could buy it. And I had no answer. If I were to ask for the mansion I showed you, I feel like that'd be in bad taste.

And why your lifespan is shortened, mm. That does explain it.

I don't think so... but that might be something better bought on your own, and not through another unitmate, especially if you're not into oversharing.

Everytime I use Foul Legacy I shave a few years off my life, but I'm not going to stop. I can't get stronger if I don't push myself, and it's not like I didn't already anticipate dying prematurely.

Who knows. Maybe you'll transcend those limits and become a god of your own.

[ laughs LOUDLY, and a touch unhinged. ]

Would you be able to contain the power of a Gnosis, I wonder ... you could take one for yourself.

Do you think so?

You're able to keep that form, why wouldn't you handle that sort of power?

[ he's going to reach for Childe's hand, and then place it on his chest ]

You could always have a test drive here.

...you're going to let me use your gnosis? [ gently rakes his nails over his chest. ]

[ there's a shaky breath at that, but he nods, keeping his hand there ]

Aren't you curious about it? It's just a dream anyway. You can do anything you want.

[ ...fuckfuckfuck. he leans in to capture scaramouche's lips in a kiss, his hand sinking into his chest as he starts fingering the gnosis. ] I am, but... [ he pulls it out, bringing it to his lips for a kiss. ]

[ He kisses him back for that breif moment, and then there's a gasp against his lips, his entire body trembling as he touches it. And when he pulls it out and brings it to his lips, he's letting out a moan that's nothing short of sinful ]

A--aaah ... it's yours now, isn't it? So what's there to hesitate about.

[ childe grabs scaramouche's wrist to put the gnosis into his hands. ] I want you to put it inside of me.

[ not what he expected. But he takes it, smiling at him ]

... Is that so. And how would you propose it. Should I cut you open, or are you asking for something else after all?
