Exactly.
[For some reason this icon only shows up in gmail which is very funny to me. ROYCE IS HIDING.
There's surprise on his face that matches his emotions; mostly because he was never going to ask for this, and of all the avatars, Pride seemed least likely to be inclined to reveal himself. He stares for a second, mostly at the crown, and he can't hide the swell of curiosity--but he doesn't say anything about it, for now.]
I know. [God. There's a tinge of regret, followed by a spark of annoyance, mostly at himself for being stupid enough to care. But truly, how different all this would've been if Mahito hadn't been killed. Childe's ability to cause trouble doesn't hold a candle to his.] I didn't have the heart to point out to her that it was always going to end up this way.
[The people here don't look kindly on ambition. But lying about the motive was never really going to be an option, after Molly's item was used.]
Still, she bought me a few days. If I can get one more good fight out of all of this, that'll be enough.

I suppose so.
[Agreement--but uncertainty, too. Survival is the first rule, of course, but it's been so long since that was his primary concern; it's difficult to look away from his goals, now. For all his easy acceptance of his fate, part of that is simply because it hasn't quite sunken in yet. There's a difference between knowing you're not infallible, and looking death in the eyes for the second time.]
...What's your name?

[She's doing her best. It's okay, he can sense the look.]
Wrath likes the beach? [...] No wonder they were so confused about that question a few weeks ago...
[Anyway. He waves a hand.] Liyue's coasts are nicer, I'm sure.
[That makes him laugh, though.]
I would've been very surprised if you had something like that on your floor. [PLEASE, LUST. Actually, he isn't sure what he might've expected. He hadn't put much thought into it before now.] The one all of you stay at, that we don't have access to--does that one reflect all of you as well?

Ah, nothing. Just a difference between our worlds.
[Everyone being so mad about him killing Lenore via toaster in the tub makes no sense to him whatsoever. HIS ELEMENTAL REACTIONS.]
If I'd been able to climb the elevator like I wanted, would I have been able to see it?
[childe please stop breaking the rules everywhere]

It's true! We had a bit of discussion about elemental magic, that's all.
[Because Wrath said "I want to give you a swirlie" and Childe said "wouldn't that trigger Vaporize because your hands are made of fire" and they both got confused about it. Truly they are morons.
Also, it's too easy, he can't resist--] I would be in the elevator shaft.
