[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?
[For a moment, he considers asking what "a lot of time" is supposed to mean, but--no, it's fine. Or rather, he's not sure he trusts the concept of time here. It wouldn't be the first, hah, time he's dealt with an altered flow.
It's fine, probably.]
Haha, alright, alright. It's been a while since I had a test. [Says Childe, weekly boss fight opponent.] I'll check in with you in a few days, how's that?
It's a date! And you know how to text me now, so no excuses and no backing out! [they seem to know that childe won't, but it should just be said anyway.]
Gonna go say hi to some of the others in the meantime?
[childe should maybe not do that if he doesn't want lust grabbing his pinky with their own. pinky promises! also the speed they were moving is a bit faster than average, and now up close childe can see that their fingernails are also painted pink.
they let go easily though.]
Hm...who're you thinking of going to see first? They're all pretty different.
[Oh! He looks briefly surprised, but they can grab his pinky if they want. He'll even spare them the horrific Snezhnayan rhyme that goes with it, even though he doesn't even think it's weird. God.]
Hmm... [He taps his hand.] The crown, and the swords--that one was Wrath, right? [He remembers!] I thought I'd start there.
Pride and Wrath, yeah! They're both great. Wrath's way easier to talk to than Pride because they like people more, I think. Just don't do anything to offend them, I don't know if we have smoke alarms around the base...but they're pretty easygoing. Maybe bring them a gift or make them a snack when you visit?
And Pride...will probably try to tell you to go away and give a lot of short answers in a voice like this. [this is said in a bad mimicry of someone who sounds kind of stoic and annoyed.] But they're really nice when you get to know them better. It just takes a really, really long time for them to decide you're not an idiot.
[Smashcut to Childe pointing at Pride and being like "now that's what I'm talking about"
He laughs at their impersonation, though. Very cute, very funny.]
Alright, I get it. [Well then! Time to go make plans and get those bangbucks, apparently. Maybe if he's a very good boy, he will be permitted to fight.] I'll let you know how it went, next time.

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.

But no, he won't tease anymore. Instead--]
Can you tell me about yours?

How long has it been since you've been back there?
no subject
Um....a while? I don't really know. I lost track, and we've been here for a long time anyway.

I was thinking about it, yes. Do you have any advice for me?
[Tell him how you feel about your coworkers, Lust]
