But once he's done he's going to be Nosy and go snooping around. What weird shit does Childe have in his room? Are there posters of Zhongli on the wall?]
[STOP I HATE THIS SO MUCH!!! He has no Zhongli posters, they are on a break. :(
In fact, there doesn't seem to be much particularly interesting out in the open. He keeps his space clean! Don't snoop in the closet Luca there are better ways to see his underwear :\
Oh, sorry, did I say there wasn't much out in the open? Right, that's not counting the WHOLEASS CHAIR that was clearly taken from the common room, tucked into a corner of the loft that isn't immediately visible from downstairs. It is somehow missing all of the legs??? They look like they were broken off, and they're not immediately visible. Hm.
At least they aren't that hard to spot--depending on where Luca wanders around, he'll see all four them under the bed. Two on each side, in fact, just barely peeking out, much the way someone modern might keep a baseball bat nearby in case of intruders.
[YOU ARE SO VALID. Childe's brow furrows a little, because the language sounds a little off, for Genshin Purposes--this must be what it's like when other people hear him speak Liyuese. Hunh.
But it's true, the sentiment gets across. Luca gets a sympathetic nod, because that sure was A Lot.]
[THIS WHOLE DAMN WEEKEND WAS A MESS he sure won't argue with that.]
I suppose this eliminates the idea that opponents will always be well-matched. [A sigh.] It's fortunate the medical bay was made available to us when it was.
I think that's exactly why we missed him. [Except for Eleanor and Sheila, the only valid bitches in this house.] We assumed he'd be too, ah, proud of his "work" to cover his tracks.
[Which is a little silly now, given that he was an assassin. He crosses his arms, staring off into the distance as he thinks.]
...I do wonder if she could've ordered him to stop. But if he received the order to kill beforehand, then I'd imagine that would've counteracted it.
[He tilts his head to the side in a slight nod, as if to acknowledge that.]
Yes, but anything is worth trying when survival is on the line.
[Especially survival against a BLOODTHIRSTY MURDER ROBOT when you are in a squishy human body. But he glances down at his hand with the Lust tattoo on it.]
I suppose I'll use that gift for her, given that she's likely banned from the bar for a while.
[Maybe flowers will make her feel better about forced sobriety...]
[You know, Childe's not always the best team player, but in this case, it's convenient! There are indulgence points to be had, and anyway, they have some fun language lessons to get to. Memories? What memories? Who cares about memories, it's fine. Childe has nothing(?) to hide.
[It doesn't take him long to answer the door! Childe's dressed down in his own room, just in his button-down and pants (and his Harbinger mask of course, don't ask how it sticks in his hair. Magic!!).]
Come in, come in. Would you like anything? [He has None Roommate now so the mini-kitchen is properly supplied with a couple different kinds of booze, but he has tea and water as well, if Luca would prefer.]
[Well, if Luca wants to get started right away, then he's happy to oblige! The extra effort it takes to speak Non-Jamjar Language is worth the sound of--not quite his mother tongue, but close enough. He waves Luca over to the mini kitchen; there's some orange vodka, some osmanthus wine, and some Snezhnayan fire-water, because the mods were nice and said I could have it.]
[Luca is a quick learner and is always eager to pick up new things, so him trying to speak fantasy!Russian is an easy choice for him. He'll go over to the kitchen and look through the options, considering. The first two look familiar-ish, but that last one. Hm.]

Will he be able to make it downstairs unnoticed, or will his snooping crimes be discovered?]
no subject
Date: 2021-02-18 01:23 am (UTC)[Yeah that's absolutely Childe sitting at the desk with his chin propped in his hand. When did he even get in here.]

I forgot I wasn't in my room.
no subject
Date: 2021-02-18 03:08 am (UTC)[Childe smiles--
--but then he waves a hand, pushing himself to his feet.]
Don't worry about it, I'd likely do the same thing.
[Snoop, that is, not "forget" whose room he's in.]
no subject
Date: 2021-02-18 03:39 am (UTC)Yes, of course, a common mistake. I realized it quickly when I saw the chair- er- that is to say, when I didn't see my things there.
