["HAHA I WIN" Childe yells, grabbing them and yeeting them off the cliff--
--no okay he just waves from where he's sitting! They can take their time, no rush. As they come closer, they'll probably see an assortment of winglike objects sitting by his feet. Wind Gliders!]
Haha, it isn't a perfect rendition, but it's the best I could do under the circumstances.
[He mostly came out here to kill people tbh but he's not gonna say that.]
[they would probably deserve this to be honest. but yeah, lust is going to take in everything around them before spotting the objects and immediately nyooming.]
Are we going flying today? [they sound way too excited for a simulation, but also. but also!!! also it's fine childe can kill people and they'll still like him.]
I thought we could give it a try, yes! [He gets to his feet as they nyoom over, stepping aside. He hasn't forgotten about the pizza! They can have that later. But he figured Lust might enjoy this more, especially since it's something they couldn't dream up for themselves.] It's not quite the real thing, but I'm quite certain the others would murder me before we got halfway up a real mountain.
[CHILDE MAYBE DON'T START WITH MOUNTAINS LIKE THIS. Especially since I have no good explanation for how these fucking things work outside of "put them on and hope for the best".]
They could deal. [lust is well-aware that they have a defense squad, but also lust wants to have fun? this is Ideal, really, and they bound over to look down below them before crouching near the wind gliders.]
These ones? [they hold up a pair of light blue ones.] They all glide the same, right? These are just a good color.
[flees my horrendously awful threads and comes back here]
Yes, they're all designed the same. The quality varies depending on who makes them, of course. [But Childe is rich and so they're all well-made. God. But he'll help get them strapped on if they need it.] Do you want me to show you how to use them, first?
[TWO PEOPLE NOW THINK HE'S COOL, AND ANOTHER HANDFUL THINK HE'S CUTE. THIS IS TERRIBLE.
But he'll make sure they're secured anyway before he puts on his own pair, even though he's pretty sure they can't get hurt in here for real. STILL.]
It's not too difficult, but it does take focus and a little practice. Here, I'll show you.
[And he'll back up a little bit before running forward and jumping off the mountain, the wings spreading out as he extends his arms. It's less flying and more gliding down (which, well, they are Gliders), but it is pretty simple.
He doesn't climb back up--instead, an orb of dense water rises up around him, looping around and carrying him easily back up to the top of the mountain before it dissipates with a bright splash. He's dry, but it might flick a little water on them.]
[this is what childe deserves. once they're both ready to go, lust scoots toward the edge of the mountain, leaning forward and watching childe fly.]
Whoa! [down he goes, and they continue looking at the ground even as he comes back up via bubble.] Does the water do that for everybody when they land?
Haha, no, it doesn't. [He waves a hand towards the Vision at his hip.] Any Hydro user could figure it out if they tried, though. Water is very versatile.
[But Lust is presumably not a Vision wielder, so.]
I'll be following you down on the waterfall, alright?
Okay. You better be serious about that! [and literally there's no other warning before lust steps back before taking a running leap off of this mountain with the glider extended. wheeeeeeee!!!
lust has a decent amount of grace, too, so the gliding goes fairly well. they are going to attempt to land in or near the water though.]
But no, it's fine. The waters around the tree at Fake Nantianmen are shin-deep at best. True to his word, he more-or-less surfs down the waterfall after them, for a bit--he gives himself a boost and glides after them, then, ready to intervene in case Lust somehow faceplants into the tree or something]
[lust luckily does not faceplant. instead, they land in the shallowest part of the water and by the time childe gets down to where they are he'll hear that they're just laughing in delight? this was awesome.]
[THANKS FOR NOT FACEPLANTING he doesn't want to get set on fire until he can fight back and have fun with it.]
Haha, I'm glad you enjoy it. [Too bad Venti isn't here so he could really help Lust out. But alas, it's just Mr. Hydro Man here.] I'm quite fond of this room, you know.
[HIS FAVORITE except his fighting is broken this week u_u stop nerfing him]
It's great, right? You can go wherever you want and see anything you want to see! [they're still standing in the water, idly kicking it and not giving a shit that their robes are in the way.] I like to spend time in here when nobody else is around, too.
But he's not all surprised that this is Lust's favorite room, and he wanders over to stand near them, also uncaring of his boots. Who cares, a little water never hurt anybody. (lmao)]
It's much better than that room with bodies in it, that's for certain. [He means Experimental Holding...]
Haha...yeah. [YEAH.] I don't like spending a lot of time in there unless I feel like being scared. But I guess it's helpful to someone somehow. Why else would it be here?
[Maybe if he makes it swim around them enough they'll get hypnotized and give him whatever he wants? (no)
He laughs, letting the fish loop around them once more before it lands back in the water with a fake splash. There's a distinctly different hue to his power compared to that of the "natural" landscape.]
There's little a Hydro wielder can't do, really, with time and effort. Anything I can't create is a result of my own shortcomings, not the power of my Vision.
[He says that, but in the tone of a man who doesn't think he has very many "shortcomings" at all, honestly...]

It seems pretty easy to figure out, but that means it probably isn't, huh? Besides, I wanna see how cool it looks first!
[and childe is apparently cool right now. that's great.]

[He crouches down, peering into the water as if looking for something.]
I don't suppose you know anything about who built it, do you?
no subject
Not sure! It wasn't my idea, but you might be able to find out from one of the others.
no subject
[He's spent the most time with Lust, so. Their opinion holds weight!
Also, he reaches down to dip his hands into the water, then scoops up something and THROWS IT AT THEM--
--no just kidding, he's just formed Hydro fishie that's going to swim around them in the air in merry circles. Apparently he's a circus performer now]
no subject
and they're promptly distracted for a second before remembering childe asked a question.]
Despair might know. You could ask them. How are you even doing that?
