[WHEEEEE
Also this is the first thing he's doing and the first new place he's checking out,so after greeting Lust with a friendly wave, he looks around in interest.]
I always do. [Always!!] And you did as well! Thank you for that, I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in private.

[they stop spinning enough to look at childe, sitting up a little taller. he can't really see their face thanks to their hood, but he may get the sense they're inquisitive.]
Oh yeah? How come? [a beat.] It's not weird, right? I was just so excited to talk to you guys.

Mm, I understand. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be hypocritical. [Evil? Where? Certainly nobody around here.] A word of advice, though--perhaps ask permission before you lock away someone's abilities? I can't speak for the others, but I would have been happy enough to agree.
You're fine, I get it. I'd probably ask questions too. [they spin in their chair again.]
...you know though...between you and me? It's not like they're locked away for forever. It all depends on how bad you want them back.
[and they lean forward to grab childe's chin again. they should stop doing this.] But you really, really shouldn't tell anyone else that. I'd hate to see something bad happen to you.

[Yeah why is everyone here so grabby? And none of you have even tried to stab him yet? Weirdos
He allows the touch a second time, but there's a much sharper look on his face now; not cold or unfriendly, but definitely a departure from the easygoing friendliness he'd exuded in public. In fact, the warning, even more than the offer, brings a clear spark of interest to his eyes. Terrible.]
And to what lengths would I need to go for such a reward?

[What, is there something in his teeth?]
Yes, I remember. You said you had some ideas you'd be willing to share? [He pauses, then laughs, lifting a hand to brush his bangs out of his face. How does his mask stay attached to his hair? RPG PHYSICS don't ask questions.] That sounded a bit demanding. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to spend time with you regardless.

[What.
"DEATH AND BLOOD" he answers-- no just kidding. He rests one hand on his hip, a thoughtful look on his face.
There's an easy answer here, but it isn't really one that applies to himself, not really. He's hardly Liyue's perfume lady. So, taking that into account...]
It's desire, yes? To an intense degree.

...I think you're the first person not to say sex. [and they sound kind of relieved about that.] But yeah! It's desire, like insatiable desire. Even if it's something you have, you want it in a different way. There's sexual lust, blood lust...um...stuff like that. A desire for attention and taking it for yourself counts, too.
For you...[they pause.] Obviously the easiest way is having sex. Like...multiple people in a day or at a time, or in public, or with someone that slept with someone else before you. But you have a training sword now. Fight until the other person gives up, and then keep going. Or ditch the weapons entirely and get someone to do the deed for you.

[...He can't help it; he laughs quietly, shaking his head. He knows their comment about Greed yesterday was a joke, but--]
You know, I have to say... my, ah, alignment to you was perfectly chosen.
[But Lust probably already knew that anyway.
Sex, though... nyeeeh... he turns his head to look over the switches and buttons, though his gaze is distant; he's thinking. He'd most certainly stick to these battle scenarios if he could, but it's a fine balance to walk when you're trying to keep some of your skills under wraps. And as much as he likes a challenge, he has no plans on closing off any avenues that'll help him walk out of here with what he came for. So. This picky child will eat his vegetables.]
Two questions, then... how does that help me regain my abilities? [He gets the idea, and he'll do it, but it's difficult to grasp the connection. He earned his Vision through combat the first time, but it was a matter of survival, not pleasure.] And secondly, is there some sort of gauge I can track?
[How busy does he have to be getting here, taps watch]

...it makes me happy to hear you say that. [and they sincerely mean that, stopping all movement in their chair to stare at childe intensely. it's hard to see, but he might see a faint pink glow from under their hood.]
You mean how do you know if other people are beating you at the indulgence game? Hmm...I dunno if there's really a gauge to track, but I think you're pretty smart and the kind of person to watch people without telling them. It's not like people are keeping things a secret around here. You'll get a sense of how people are indulging, and how often. And your abilities...um...think of it like gaining experience points. You have to keep performing the same actions to earn your points, and if you hit a certain threshold, bam! You level up.
Some actions just get you more points than others. You just kind of have to play around and find out.

I'm glad to know it. I think we have a lot in common. [He is not enough of a ham to wink, but he does smile in return.]
Mm, alright. I understand. [Working his way up the ranks again, then. Fair enough. It's tedious, but he'll do the job.]
A little bird told me you all are here to indulge, too. Is that right?

You think? [they seem amused by that thought, but they don't elaborate. even if that turns out to not be so true in the end (from his perspective) they're getting along now and that's all lust can ask for.] I'll do what I can to help you out, but I think you're gonna do great on your own.
[...they spin in their chair once.] I'm interested in what else this little bird had to say.

[We Shall See.]
Well, I certainly won't say no to that. It's been a while since I was on my own.
[Give him a real sword and he'll Indulge all you want Lust how about that
But, hm! His smile doesn't change.]
I think this is a good opportunity to demonstrate that I can keep a secret.
[Since they warned him against blabbing about powers and all.]

I think I'm still deciding. There's a lot of ways to indulge and it gets boring to indulge the same way all the time...but some of my favorite ones don't really match with lust either. Like eating a whole pizza by myself, or playing video games all night long.
