[He's not laughing! He's not laughing. His smile is just a tiny bit shitheaded but listen, at least he's not laughing!!]
No, don't worry. I was a little busy.
[Regrowing his hand and covering up murders, god. I wish he would've spent the rest of the game with a skeleton hand, how funny would that have been.]

[it would've been highly funny, tbh.
envy's still kind of flustered, but he gives childe a grateful little nod anyway.]
Good! Good, okay, that's-- probably for the best.
[NERVOUS LAUGHTER.]
But, um, here, hang on-- let me trade you for it?
[give him a sec, he's rummaging in his robes.]

[envy pulls out... a knit scarf! it's red, with little pink hearts and a pink yarn fringe at each end. when childe holds it, he will have the sense this will help him know something when he needs it-- it has one use, and will give him temporary expertise in any one subject of knowledge.]
There. Hopefully the color's okay?

[Okay, he can't help but laugh, sounding genuinely amused.]
Coming from you, to me, I believe that much.
[He doesn't sound bothered, though. What even is this CR I'm in tears.
But he settles a little, then, tapping a finger on his leg.]
If I asked you a serious question, would you give me a serious answer?
[Because for the most part, he truly doesn't mind Wrath needling at him. If they don't want to answer, that's fine. But he isn't going to waste his energy on real topics if it won't get him anywhere.]

I do! It's been a long time since I've been given something handmade like this.
[Like, his clothes are clearly custom-tailored because he's a rich bitch?? But that's different.]
Were you the one who made that covering for Sloth's horn, too?
[Back at the first trial! He remembers seeing it.]

[I HATE THIS GIVE ME BACK LWJ AND BEAU.
But he mulls that over, considering. As with anything, he's taking it with a grain of salt, but it's at least plausible.]
Is that why they were arranged, then? To help us reach our goal faster?
[Since Lust mentioned that, if no one else died from this point on, it was still feasible--it would just take a lot longer.]

...it's kind of interesting to think about. There are a few different legends where I'm from about it, like the one about this shrine I like to visit sometimes. The old texts say that one day, a man sent one of his followers on an urgent quest to find a mysterious magical fruit. It was a fruit that would grant you immortality if you ate it. The journey took forever, but by the time the fruit was located the man who had requested it had died. The follower mourned for the loss of his idol, and he gave half of the fruit to the man's wife instead while leaving the other half on his idol's grave. After that? He died.
But they say that the fruit is still in the shrine. It's a shrine to the gods, so I guess it makes sense. I've always wondered about it though.
