Not in that manner, I take it. [Honestly he'll take looking like a fool because he's just kind of impressed Pride had it in them to fuck around after that trial]
[Avatars: gee why doesn't Childe trust us Also the Avatars: lmao]
Ahaha, no, that's alright. [He'll just commend Pride later for making him literally unable to tell whether or not they were joking. Pride is so great. His favorite Avatar.] But can I ask what happens to them? More seriously, this time.
What makes you and the others so interested in the bodies of the dead? You are here for your own gains, are you not? What does it matter what happens to them, or their bodies?
Well, I can't speak for anyone else. It's simply curiosity, on my part.
[Because y'all are fuckin shady and he's never not going to believe there isn't a master plot happening here but honestly this is like 99% true. He doesn't actually care about anybody who's died.]
If we truly are in "space", as it were, isn't disposal inconvenient? It's not something I've ever had to deal with before, that's all.
[Though admittedly he stopped having to clean up corpses once he got promoted anyway, but still.]
I see. You do not have to concern yourself with the bodies. They are disposed of properly. There is not any inconveniences in getting rid of them, no. Not for me.
Very well. [He does not say "I'll take your word for it" because he doesn't take their word for anything but still.] Thank you for humoring me and clarifying.
[without any hesitation, they gesture to one of the tables closest to childe. there's a lot of dessert and finger-food on it, but at one of the seats is a plate with a slice of something sitting in the middle.]
Ptichye Moloko. Milk soufflé covered with soft chocolate.
[This right here is an Anna tag if I've ever read one.]
Thank you. [He'll take a seat, then! I hope it's poisoned.] Nothing for you? You're welcome to join me, if you'd like. My apologies for not meeting with you earlier.

Which Childe obviously does not know, and even if he did it wouldn't change his attitude, so! He greets Gluttony with a little wave as he enters.]
Thank you for your time! I won't keep you long.
no subject
It is not a bother. What can I help you with?
no subject
But Childe stops for a minute, looking thoughtful as he considers his words.]
...I wanted to ask you about something Pride said to me, but I'll be honest, I'm not sure whether or not you'll take offense to it.
no subject
I suppose you shall just have to face my fury when I am offended after you ask.
no subject
Can I at least have a chance to fight for my life, if I do?
[He's fine with it but y'all are kind of OP so he has to ask first.]
no subject
I would be exceedingly disappointed if you did not.
no subject
But with that confirmation, he'll just go ahead and say it.]
Pride told me that you consume our dead, is that right?
[He just desperately needs to know if Pride was fucking with him, because he doesn't think they were, but he can't be SURE without confirmation.]
no subject
...............
they have to duck their head down a bit because a very strained pfft comes out of them. and then they just
turn around in place with shaking shoulders.]
no subject
He will wait patiently. It's fine. He's used to being laughed at.]
no subject
Apologies. I handle the disposal of the bodies of the dead, yes.
no subject
Not in that manner, I take it. [Honestly he'll take looking like a fool because he's just kind of impressed Pride had it in them to fuck around after that trial]

Would you care for anything?
no subject
Sure, while I'm here. What do you recommend?
no subject
Ptichye Moloko. Milk soufflé covered with soft chocolate.

no subject
That is alright. And no, thank you. My palate is very different from yours, I am afraid. Food such as this does not interest me.
no subject
Also now he can laugh about it, reaching for the tea to make himself a cup as well.]
What does interest you, then?
