Oh, I'm aware. [He has been indulging in that plenty. Mahito is his favorite indulgence partner already. I hate it.] But that's different from a fight to the death to earn our prizes.
Also he just stares into the void for a second. Pride's void face? The general void? Either one.]
Trust me, I'm pretty sure I do.
[PLEASE. CHILDE IS "PEOPLE". Also his coworkers are 5000 times worse than him? He's like 98.9% convinced Pride knows this shit already so he doesn't bother saying it out loud.]
But you make it sound like a choice, not an expectation. [And even if it is--] No one offers ultimate power for the price of a good time.
If I didn't think it was worth the risk, I wouldn't have agreed to be here. But I don't plan on dying.
[In other words--he doesn't buy what they're selling, but he also doesn't much care; in his mind, this is a trap he's walked willingly into. And he's confident enough in his own strength that he's not too worried about his chances of success.]
If the other people here don't feel the same way, I'll be very disappointed.
I have six siblings, I know how to play nice with others. [The charm and amiability aren't even that much of a facade--he likes plenty of people perfectly well. His ruthlessness is truly nothing personal most of the time.] We spoke for quite a while. You can ask them yourself, if you'd like. They're quite fond of you.
[Childe don't be a shithead and make terrible jokes at the same time.]
Their alias seems a little unsuitable, though. I can't imagine they would've chosen it on their own. [Says Tartaglia "Childe" GenshinImpact. Please.] Who gave you these names?

That's not out of the question either. You've no idea what people will do once they've been locked in the same space as each other for a while.

Everything is a choice. [they say, finally.] Ultimate power, as you put it, is worth whatever you think it is. Is it worth dying for?

I'm not surprised you call Gu Yun your friend. [is this an insult? who knows.]
no subject
I have no interest in the weak.
[They pointed at each other and said "I see you too are stupidly OP"]

they seem amused.]
No. I don't either. [...] Hm. Maybe you can replace Masters as a Pride.
[this is like 99% a joke.]
no subject
Can't I be both?
[And maybe add Greed on there as well, while we're at it, apparently. Catch 'em all.]

[a pause.] Have you spoken to them? Lust.

Were you kind to them?

The names vary on suitability and meaning. [...] We were just assigned them.

As in, just recently?
