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.
[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.]
[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?
[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.]
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.

[they motion to, like, the room in general.]
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.

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?
no subject
Something quite niche and particular, I am afraid.
[pushes the off center one straight again.]

Does that make living here difficult for you?
no subject
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.]

no subject
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.
no subject
That must be a comfort, then, if you've been here for a while.

[here is childe's tea. it's warm, not overly and disgustingly sweet, but still pleasant enough to not be bitter.]
no subject

The circus as well?
