[toyska]

Haha, no one here. [Traveler... his literal only friend(?).] They think I spoil my youngest brother too much.

[probe]

There's no such thing as too much spoiling. Especially when it comes to siblings.

[toyska]

[There's a pause, but then Childe leans his head back, laughing. What a great answer.]

Now you're my new favorite!

[probe]

[a beat, and then they laugh.]

Really, is that all it takes?

[toyska]

[He winks, nodding towards the bottle he'd brought.]

You say that like you won't have a new favorite the moment I leave.

[He knows your type, FuckFriend.]

[probe]

[WOW.

no, he's right.]

It varies. [wink. or the suggestion of one, anyway.]

[toyska]

[He shakes his head, but he's grinning. Terrible. Playing a flirt is so exhausting I hate this]

And what does it take to hold your favor longer?

[probe]

Mm... that you'll have to find out yourself, I think. It's no fun if I just tell you the answer.

[toyska]

[He nods, acknowledging that.]

A victory unearned is no victory at all. [Which is what he wanted coming here but noooo, now he has to flirt with the void instead. SIGH. (No it's fine, he's entertained.)]

But is there anyone whose blessing I'd need to earn first? I'd hate to get set on fire without my Vision.

[Childe don't imply you're fine with getting set on fire]

[probe]

[having to flirt with the void is such a terrible fate, yea

they take another drink of whatever helldrink childe brought them.]

Oh, there are a few. [...] Envy, maybe. They might have a few things to say.

[toyska]

[A thoughtful hum.]

A lucky thing that I planned to speak with them tomorrow, then.

[probe]

Good. They'll be happy to see you.

[toyska]

Me personally, or are they like Lust?

[aka, Friendly.]

[probe]

No, definitely you personally. You're pretty. [they sound amused.]

[toyska]

[He


Looks a little embarrassed for the first time?! He wasn't actually expecting that. Ah.



He coughs lightly into his fist.]

Well, that will make things easier.

[probe]

[really? that's all it took, childe?]

Oh, my god. Are you embarrassed? [they sound delighted.]

[toyska]

[LET HIM LIVE]

It's not exactly something I think about much...

[says belly window man]

[probe]

Are you sure? The way you dress says differently!

[don't slutshame childe, wrath.]

[toyska]

I like attention.

[He is. Self-aware.




But then--]

And it makes it easy to tell how stupid my opponent is in a fight, when they aim for such an obvious target.

[there it is]

[probe]

Oh, sneaky.

You're like a cat. You roll over on your back and immediately bite the H-E-double hockey sticks out of someone's hand when they reach for it.

[toyska]

[He has no idea what "H-E-double hockey sticks" is supposed to mean but you know what, he gets the point.]

No way! I don't bite.

[This lie is so blatant it's more of a joke]

[probe]

I have never heard a more boldfaced lie in my entire life, and I'm old as balls.

1/2

[toyska]

I've never told a lie in my life.

2/2

[toyska]

That one's better.

[probe]

[FFFFT.]

Nerd. [they're very amused, though.]
