Aw, don't worry! I'd land for you guys sometimes. [but they go quiet for a sec as the back of their cloak flutters.] It would be pretty fun to fly though.
You'd have to, you can't eat while you're gliding.
[No pizza and flying unless you're Venti and you have a pet dragon, which Childe doesn't because he kills dragons for work and/or fun. It's unclear. Don't worry about it.
I could try! [they could not, and food would be a bribe to keep them grounded. nevertheless...there's a sigh.]
I can't. I really, really want to, but it doesn't work like that. [but now that childe's actually looking, yeah, he might see there are two small bumps in the back of their cloak just under their shoulders where a pair of wings might fit.]
[Oh... he lifts a hand briefly, almost unthinking, before he pauses and drops it again. It's rude to touch people without asking permission, even if they represent Lust. (childe voice) consent is key!!!]
...Can I ask why? [Is it an injury, or something preventing them from doing it?]
It's just the back, and you're one of mine anyway. I don't think it's a big deal. ...but close your eyes for a second!
[no peeking! also they still never said anything about showing their face so part of this is really just trying to figure out how to make this work. it's fine.]
[so when childe opens his eyes he will see that lust has actually pulled their cloak up to their shoulders so that their head is still hidden. they also get to confirm that lust is, in fact, a girl given that under their cloak they are wearing a very short, thin white long-sleeve dress. they are also wearing heels.
the most important thing though is that they have very tiny wings that are about the span of their shoulders and come down to about where the bra line would be. they're soft rainbow colors.]
But--oh, huh, there are they are. Wow, they really aren't big enough to hold anybody's weight, huh. He is Looking Respectfully, and still not touching! Are they feathery, or something else?]
[that's true. lust can absolutely do whatever they want. but for now they let their wings flutter in response. they're feathery and soft like stereotypical angel wings.]
I've had them for a while. That's why I was hoping things would change, but they just stopped getting bigger one day. That was a long time ago though.
They are! Our Wind Gliders have quite a few designs to them, but I don't think I've ever seen rainbow. [And if he has then I don't know it because it hasn't been unlocked yet.] If we had access to our homes, I wouldn't mind getting you one, though I suppose it's not quite the same as flying.
[Which he can also do actually?! But not here since he got NERFED so no joyrides for them.]
What did they look like before? [If they're "more colorful" now.]
It'd be just as fun and I could at least pretend it was like flying! [they maybe just like the idea of trying something new. i am going to continue to write they so i don't fuck other threads but that's fine. also i hate that childe can actually fly what the hell.]
They were white at first? Or at least really, really pale. But then they started getting color and now they're like this. They don't hurt or anything though.
[Let him go home to the bank for a visit and he'll buy you some then!!! And yeah same. Did you know he can technically fly (if you count gliding) in like three different ways? Now you do.]
That's good to hear. [He didn't think they did?? But it takes a stupid level of violence to get him to think about pain anyway so ignore him. Actually, he's got more questions, but give him a second--
--what'll he get if he tries to wish for something like this?]
[why is genshin so much? but they nod! and when childe makes a wish he basically summons what looks like a paper kite. it's pretty! but effectively useless.]
[Oh. Well, you know what, could be worse. Just for fun, he wishes for a second one, passing the first over to Lust. A gift! He'll keep the second one.]
[present!! thank you, they are going to absolutely love this even if it's just a kite which is why they take it and hold it gently.]
I appreciate the effort anyway. [because it's a Gift.] Your gliders, right? When this is all over maybe we can get you a real one to test out before you go back.
Haha, there's no need for that. It was meant for you. [Presumably when this is all over he'll have his abilities back anyway. Though, that said--] But I wouldn't turn down more gifts from you, either.
[A pointed wiggle of his fingers! His mini-event pwesent...]
Oh so it's a bribe. [they're teasing regardless and also letting their cloak fall to cover their wings so they can hold the kite and also face childe.]
I know it's not much, but I thought it could be a good start for you! You put in the effort so it's only fair you get the loot.

You can't?

They're too small. [they sound pouty about it.] I thought they would get bigger, but they're gonna stay this way.
no subject
Are you sure? How long have you had them? [Listen maybe sometimes npcs can get growth spurts, as a treat]
no subject
Pretty sure...it's been a while and they haven't changed at all. They just got more colorful.
no subject
More colorful?

I can show you if you want.

I'd be honored by your trust.
