[unrelated I just realized how tall childe actually is, god. anyway. sorry for your braincell but lust doesn't have a braincell which means they are taking all of this at face value.]
I hope you do. It'd be a nice reward once you get out of here and achieve your goals. A lot of people are focused on getting what they want and they should, but I think people should remember what happens after that, too. It'd save a lot of trouble.
[HE IS WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THE FACE GRABS SO FUNNY
But he is not lying about any of this! Congrats, Lust. Honestly, he'd much rather stay here and chat about his siblings than go bang people, but alas, he's a government-assigned slut.]
[stop the first time they were on someone's shoulders and this time i have no excuse. maybe they stood up in their chair. it's fine. lust would also be cool with childe hanging out and spending time with them but alas, sometimes you have to go out and bang.]
You know...like not knowing how to use whatever they earned, or not thinking about how it could really change their future. Maybe having a plan for afterwards isn't such a bad idea. That's all.
Mm, I understand. [That certainly won't be the case with him, but he has a feeling he doesn't need to say that. Instead--] Are you all the ones who provide us with it?
That's not the real reason you're gonna make me a pizza, is it? [it's still just teasing, but also...slightly curious? maybe a little insecure? they just want to be Sure. if childe is being nice because he thinks they give them power and strength, then it's better to know ahead of time.]
No, not at all. [Can he not be nice AND bribe with pizza?] I only asked because if it is, I'd wondered if you'd ever refused to grant someone their wish.
[Or whatever they want to call it. If they think people wouldn't use it wisely, would they withhold it?]
Oh. We're not really in a position to be judging what you guys want. [the back of their cloak shifts slightly.] It's all about earning it. Anything after that doesn't really affect us or anything.
You've been here a long time, haven't you? [That's what the welcome app said, anyway.] So you must've seen a lot of people like us pass through this place.
[Have they cared about everyone, the whole time? Obviously "a long time" can mean anything, but it sounds like it would be... a lot. Especially given that Childe's just out here assuming everyone around him is as ruthless as he is; they're not the sorts of people one should get attached to.]
Yeah. There've been...a lot of people that aren't here anymore. Some of them were really nice, too. [and now they're just sad.] I guess it's a little silly to really care about people you just met and won't know forever, but...it's okay.
[Well. He could say something like "you won't know anybody forever", but that's kind of mean for no reason, so he won't.
Besides, there's something else he's wondering.]
...Can I ask you something else? [He says that but he's gonna ask it anyway; he just means Lust doesn't need to answer.] The offer that I--well, we were made. Did you receive it once, too?
In this case it means I can confidently say I haven't met very many people like you guys. Hearing about all of these different parallel worlds is sooo cool...
It's pretty normal, I guess. I'm from a big city so we have all kinds of shops and restaurants and stuff, and a lot of technology that's not quite as advanced as some of the stuff here, but close!
Well! He has a lot of thoughts about this conversation to sort through, and while he'd rather stay here and try to get favoritism points than go a-bangin', he has work to do. Besides, he can be patient.]
Then how about a deal? Next time we meet, I'll bring you that pizza, and you can tell me more about it.
[And preferably more about this game, because he likes you, Lust, but he's None Trust Left Beef at all times, so.
...
Still, he can't help pressing his luck one more time--]
Not that I don't appreciate your earlier gift, [the dick swords......] but would you happen to have anything else you can give me?
[Look, it's no skin off his nose if Lust says no, so he might as well ask. This is Lust and not Greed because he Desires Many Weapons Always? (no)]
Deal. [it's said fairly easily as if lust would agree to anything childe has to say right now, and they spin in their chair.] We still have a lot of time to get to know each other so I don't mind.
[still....] ...ask me another time? I don't think you need anything more than what you have but if you can prove me wrong I'll think about it. Okay?

But, ah, heh. Yeah, he can see that.]
Mm, I understand. [That certainly won't be the case with him, but he has a feeling he doesn't need to say that. Instead--] Are you all the ones who provide us with it?
[Power and strength, in his case.]

I'm quite sure that's not necessarily a compliment.
[He sounds amused, because. He's met White. And Douman. So.]
no subject
It is! Do you think I would really do that, Childe? Just say things I wouldn't mean?
no subject
Oh, I think you mean it! I just think "unique" can mean a lot of things.
