Comments

[toyska]

[lines up cutlery and pushes one slightly off-center

Also now he can laugh about it, reaching for the tea to make himself a cup as well.]

What does interest you, then?

[probe]

[they absolutely (politely) take the tea so they can make it instead.]

Something quite niche and particular, I am afraid.







[pushes the off center one straight again.]

[toyska]

[STOP IGNORE MY ANNA-TORTURING CUTLERY SHITPOSTING.

Childe, however, just looks briefly surprised, but--well, if Gluttony wants to, they're free to make it instead. Sometimes you are rich and used to these things things. Terrible.]

Does that make living here difficult for you?

[probe]

[that's because i was fucking moving it back because it tore my nerves up, you garbage can. takes the narrative cutlery away from you altogether.]

Not at all. It often takes a long time for my food to be cultivated perfectly. For it to... ripen, you could say.

[and yes, gluttony absolutely will do it for childe without complaint. they are polite.]

[toyska]

[STOP THIS I AM PURE AND INNOCENT even though I typed "things" twice in that sentence up there. God.

Also I hope Gluttony also appreciated that Childe did absolutely nothing to contribute to the conversation about the bodies of the dead getting eaten.]

I see. [He's pretty sure Gluttony is not talking about fruit. He is also pretty sure he doesn't want to know what Gluttony is talking about. It's fine. And because Gu Yun spoiled the Avatar Floors thing for him week 3--] Then, why have a tea room on your floor?

[probe]

[wow? maybe they are talking about fruit? maybe they are talking about young shounen boys will a lot of guts and determination? who knows.]

I did not create the tea room, I must admit. However, it is familiar to me. The set up is something to which I'm accustomed back home.

[toyska]

[STOP DON'T EAT YOUNG SHOUNENS. Childe will eat this cake, though, humming in acknowledgment.]

That must be a comfort, then, if you've been here for a while.

[probe]

I do enjoy the familiarity it brings, yes.

[here is childe's tea. it's warm, not overly and disgustingly sweet, but still pleasant enough to not be bitter.]

[toyska]

Thank you.

[By this point he figures that if the Avatars wanted to poison them, they would've done it already, so he'll take the tea with no complaints and sip it. A grateful nod! It is very good.]

The circus as well?

[probe]

Ah. In a way, yes. I was a performer in the circus for a very short time with my master.

[they bow their head a bow in acknowledgement of the goodness.]

[toyska]

Oh? [You know what, after the last trial, Childe can see it. Gluttony's weird and dramatic. Classic performer qualities.] Maybe you and Lust should put on a performance together sometime.
