[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...]
[Luca how the hell does Tartaglia "we're friends because you tried to kill me haha" Childe have nicer ideas than you do]
Mm, I haven't used it yet. There's some flowers from Liyue she might like. [If it even works like that, otherwise she'll just be stuck with regular degular flowers.]
But he looks interested, tucking away this information.]
Who else is familiar with it? I know quite a few speak something similar to Liyuese. [Fake China...] Yours sounds similar to the language of my home country, Snezhnaya. I wasn't expecting anyone else to know it.
To be fair, I don't actually know that much of it. It's the sixth language I know, and I only know the very basics. You would probably laugh at my grammar if I tried to say more than a few words.
Six? That's very impressive. [He's like, genuinely impressed??? Wow, Luca, good on you. He respects the effort. Does Luca have a lust for languages, is that what's going on here?] Ahaha, don't worry, I wouldn't! I've been in your shoes before. [(Childe voice) there's an old saying in Liyue--]
I'd be happy to teach you, if you'd like, though I'm sure it will sound a little strange when you return home.

Are you alright?

It was a mess and we're lucky she didn't die.

How did we even miss him before? It all seems so obvious now.

Date: 2021-02-22 05:19 am (UTC)There's not much else I can do for her here, really. But I'd imagine Ming Yi will stick close to her anyway.
[So she'll be alright.
On a different note, though, he tilts his head slightly.]
The language we spoke--what do you call it, in your world?
no subject
Date: 2021-02-22 05:25 am (UTC)Ah- we call it-
[Insert fantasy world name here, all the countries get different names in Luca's canon.]
-though I believe someone here called it 'Russian' as well? What do you know it as?

Five languages, and espionage?

Date: 2021-02-22 06:25 am (UTC)That one is more of a hobby than a skill.
