Mm, I see. I'll take care when I speak to them, then.
[Not that Childe is ever intimidated by anything, but still. He can kind of vaguely relate in the sense that he was a shy child once upon a time, but it's been so long that he hardly remembers those days. It might as well have been someone else's life, honestly.
So instead, he sets his cup down, leaning back in his chair.]
I have something of a message from one of yours, by the way.
[Childe lifts his hand again, this time showing the inside of his wrist.(Presumably. idk we haven't gotten that far yet) There's a very distinct mark there, clearly left on purpose.]
Your onmyouji wanted me to tell you it's a reminder from them.
[How do you think it went, Envy, he has a bite on his wrist for you!!]
Actually, they implied you're the jealous type. "Eager to please, but cold if you look away from them" were their words, if I recall.
[Which is EXTREMELY IRONIC given that Douman also implied they were banging Mahito in the same conversation. Childe needs to keep better company immediately.]

Perhaps we can spend time together next time, then. [He owes them a pizza, after all! He hasn't forgotten.] And what about Wrath?
[Are they good company too, in Envy's opinion?]

[their visible eyes (roughly three of them, in various places) all blink in unison, as their head tilts curiously.]
What is it?

[DOUMAN...]
no subject
[they reach out to carefully take his wrist in one hand, peering down at it. they sound a little amused when they continue.]
Jeez, do they really think I need it?
no subject
Apparently so. They said it's "A reminder of who you should focus on".
no subject
[they say it kind of fondly, though.]

[now they're just curious.]

[they don't think they're cold about it?? wow, douman.]
no subject
Well, they said to tell you that if you want to "talk", they're always available.
[He's adding those quotes because they're probably necessary tbh.]
no subject
[they hum a cheery little note, at that.]
no subject
But message successfully conveyed, he smiles, lifting his cup back to his mouth.]
Do I get a reward for playing messenger?
no subject
Was I supposed to have one ready...?
no subject
[He doesn't actually expect this to work but you know what, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take]
no subject
[what do you want, childe.]
no subject
But okay barring that--]
An honest answer to a question, if you're able to do so.
