Might have forgotten but Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and happy birthday to all. *** This might was something he had expected of Childe, but he was still caught off guard by his swift and sharp attack nonetheless. That was precisely why he always tried to prepare for every kind of situation in advance, especially since his lover taught him to fight properly, using stances and breathing techniques that could be applied during a real confrontation, rather than just during training with the…-

Childe bent down on one knee and placed his hands together. He began muttering quietly as he silently chanted a prayer, reverent and respectful, almost akin to begging When he was finished, he stood up and looked at Yomite, perplexed by his strange expression. "What's wrong? Are you not praying before the battle? Are you that foolish, or perhaps you're that confident? I'll have you know, I'm not someone you could beat easily." "Why would I pray?" Yomite didn't understand his question. He merely…

They strolled out of the restaurant and onto Liyue's outskirts, down to the cliffside where a cliff of some sort had collapsed, leaving a precipitous plunge to the sea below, when he noticed a bow hanging on Childe's back. (Is he an archer? Close combat should be a free win for me. Still, he should have a variety of weapons otherthan the bow,ashe used some sort of sword tocut off my arm during the divination, so I need to be extra careful of the close quarter as well...) Walking along the edge, they…

Yomite silently gazed at the figure in front of him, unable to pinpoint whether he was serious about his words or just talking shit. It didn't take him long to figure out the man's identify, however, based on how he spoke and acted. Much the voice was the same as his first encounter with him, with a mocking tone that seemed even more unsettling. This was the assassin he had seen in the divination, the guy who had severed his arm and subsequently killed him. "Let's go outside, Comrade. I have a place…

Childe only stared in disbelief as the plates in front of Iris started stacking up on top of each other in a matter of minutes...no...seconds... (There must be at least a few hundred by now, no?) He wryly smiled. (Truly, an appetite worthy of an Adeptus. Oh well, I might as well start eating before it gets cold.) Childe's mannerisms only grew sharper as he picked up a pair of chopsticks. He rubbed the two chopsticks together before he separated them and clumsily took hold of them. Seeing how casually…

While Lumine was fighting her innermost feelings, Childe was similarly, leading a debate with himself. ('Assistant'? Did Hu Tao say she had an assistant? Since when did she employ someone like that? Did she mean Mr. Zhongli? Oh well, it doesn't matter. From this exhange, I can tell that the chances of the Traveller accepting our request to join our side are slim, but there is still a chance. Which means only one thing.) He smiled as he observed this whole spectacle, finding himself thoroughly enthralled.…

At this point, an awkward silence settled upon all of them, all of their gazes lingering between Childe and Lumine, having nothing else to say to one another. Childe, whose neck was almost cut off just now simply laughed. He trusted in his abilities, so if Lumine did try to kill him which was still very unlikely, he was confident enough he could easily beat her at her own game before she could do anything. Still, he was quite curious about how strong she really was. He would love to fight her. Her…

"You...You know where my brother is!?" Lumine asked incredulously, eyes wide and lips parted, obviously stunned by the unexpected information. The look on her face was all sorts of emotional-mixed with hope, excitement, and even a bit of fear in how to deal with this information. A very unbalanced combination that had Childe just about holding back a snort. "Yes, we were deeply moved by your conviction to find your dearest brother by the use of posters and other things, that we expended all of our…

As soon as they walked through the door, the warmth of a warming tea cabinet and the smell of meat hit their faces. Looking around, they saw that the waitress had already taken their orders for them, which meant that Childe instinctively knew they would agree beforehand which already made him out to be cunning and calculative. They got to sit at a corner table that was out of the public's reach and let Childe talk without interruption. With the flash of a smile, Childe threw a coin pouch to the…

"If it isn't Childe, the Fatui Harbinger. What sort of misfortune do you have in store for us? Why did you show up?" Hu Tao murmured disapprovingly as she stepped forward. It seemed Childe knew about her true identity as well, as he laughed heartily. "Aw, don't be like that. I didn't think I would see you here. How is Mr. Zhongli? I haven't been in touch lately." The frown on her face did not ease in the slightest. Childe continued, oblivious to the hostility he brought upon himself with every word.…
