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...]
Whoa...I knew your Vision was powerful but I didn't think it was something like that. [goodbye fish!] Do you miss having it? How long have you been a wielder?
[Maybe if he's in a good mood some other time, he'll show them his whale. But probably not.]
I don't often use it for things like this. [Little tricks for entertainment, that is. As for how powerful it, he, is, well. He just smiles.]
Of course I do. All of my power was gained through effort and merit.
[Visions are blessings, sure, but Archons don't take notice of just anyone. He can survive without it, but he doesn't have to enjoy it.]
My Vision? About ten years. I was a bit older than most. [He still thinks Lust already knows all of this, but he'll be nice. Especially because I'm making this up since they NEVER FUCKING TOLD US DAMN IT GENSHIN.]
You're not really that old, you know. [starting at thirteen isn't really old in their opinion, but then again given how things work it isn't much of a surprise at all.]
...I know it's not the same, but I have something for you. I was gonna wait to give it to you, but this seems like a good time.
[does childe have his phone? because it will ring the same sort of ring as before when he received a prize last week, and he'll find there's a new attachment called Poseidon.
will he download it?]
Edited (clarification...is good...childe is not currently 13...) 2021-02-19 08:18 (UTC)
[can't believe mods are trying to get me arrested u_u]
Haha, I know! [He's very proud of being the youngest Harbinger, after all.] But many are granted their Visions as children.
[And he no longer thinks of his fourteen-year-old self as a child, but he has no interest in discussing that.
So it's fortunate that the phone rings--he blinks, straightening up and pulling it out of his pocket. He glances at them curiously. He will download it, actually, but--]
What is it?
[Let it never be said that Childe's dangerlust is unthinkingly reckless.]
It just makes it more impressive you caught on so fast.
[but when he downloads it and opens the attachment, it will read: Manipulate a small amount of liquid of your choosing to flood, dispel, remove, or bend at will.]
It's a one-time thing and it'll expire in two weeks, but...I thought maybe you could use it for whatever you wanted.
[He dips his head in acknowledgment. He isn't one to brag, but, well. He isn't going to pretend he doesn't work exactly as hard as he does.
As for the gift--]
I appreciate it. [And he truly does! He'd maybe ruffle their hair but it's covered by a hood, so he'll reach out to squeeze their hand lightly instead.] ...Hey. Was it you?

Has it been here the whole time? [As long as Lust has, anyway.]

[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]

You can only have two of these at a time though, okay? So use them wisely! [and they tilt their head.] Was what me?
[are they seriously asking or playing dumb? yes.]
no subject
[Probably. If I, Pixi, can harness a single braincell ever in my life.
But also, terribly, the look he gives them is fondly amused.]
Tamaki. Did you kill him?
[Childe you could at least try to pretend like you think murder is bad.]
no subject
What...? Why would you ask me that? [they also sound outright offended suddenly.]
no subject
If you say it wasn't, I'll believe you. I just had to ask, that's all. Molly's description of the elevator has been stuck in my mind.
[Blood hearts? A liquid manipulation power? Surely Lust can understand this purely logical thought process u_u]
