Really? The same way he [points at Zhongli] earned yours?

[ This is definitely a hydro dagger being swung at you.

Roll SPD to dodge ]

[SPD 7! diving sideways out of his chair into a roll that finishes with him popping back up to his feet. with an ice knife in his hand.]

So that's a yes, huh? That's cute. What are you, fucking married?

And if I was...!

[ Though he's not giving Valor too much time to think about it as he combines his two hydro daggers into a spear and makes a large arcing swing at Valor.

He'll need a SPD 6+ to successfully dodge. ]

[SPD 8 aka nat 6. using a pillar of ice pushing up from the ground to himself enough lift to jump right over the spear, landing on a nearby table and throwing his ice knife at Childe. (STR 4 for the throw)]

Touchy, touchy! What's the matter? Hubby doesn't love you anymore? Or is it that you know your precious fucking marriage is a big fucking lie?

[ Oh. That pings someone else in the restaurant.

So while Childe is rolling behind the nearest table to dodge that ice knife, a golden spear is coming toward Valor's flank.

SPD 6+ to dodge this one, too. ]

[SPD 8 aka nat 6. he juuust manages to spin out of the way of that, before leaping to another table. and then throwing another ice knife at Zhongli. (STR 6 for throw)]

It's cute your fucking delusion world involves being disgustingly married, but maybe you should try actually fucking proposing in the real world instead of settling for this fakity-fake-fake-lie, you know?

[ The knife lodges itself soundly in Zhongli's shoulder. But it does not halt him.

Even as the world starts to slowly petrify around them - Valor and Zhongli excluded.

Hit it on the nose? Why that does look like he did. ]

Advice that I might consider if not for the source.

Is there anything else you wish to say to me?

[summoning another ice knife, but he'll just keep it in his hand for now, as long as Zhongli doesn't look like he's about to take another swing.]

Well, that's just fucking rude. I could've just congratulated you both on the happy occasion and left you here to fucking rot.

I see.

[ He picks the ice dagger out of his shoulder and snaps it in half between his finger.

Cryo.

Of course it had to be cryo. ]

Then you have my gratitude.

But I wish you gone all the same.

[Hey, Valor didn't pick it, Zhongli did.]

Nahhh. I think I'll stick around, do a little sight-seeing. I don't know what this shit is--

[and he pauses to kick some poor petrifying restaurant patron's arm]

--but I think I'd better make sure it takes. Wouldn't want you to dive back into dream land once my back's turned.

[ He picked so correctly then.

The patron's arm crumbles when Valor kicks it, causing Zhongli to wince.

In fact, the whole market around them is starting to crumble. Not just the restaurant. ]

And if I did?

What do you get out of all this?

The satisfaction of a job well done.

[he's only like, half-joking, probably]

[ INSIGHT CHECK----

Wait, wrong game. ]

Well.

I certainly can only praise you for upholding your end of the contract.

[laaaughs]

Could always take a shot at killing you if you'd rather I uphold it that way.

I believe I am supposed to boast here of my skills but I must admit you have an uncanny ability of dodging.

Childe rarely misses.

What can I say, I'm a speedy guy.

And determined.

Do you enjoy this kind of adrenaline rush?

Sure, I like to have fun. What's it to you?

A passing curiosity and nothing more. I suppose I find you somewhat of an enigma.

Seriously? Me?

[he doesn't think he's all that complicated, really.]

This I gotta hear. In what way am I a fucking enigma?

You make bonds with others freely and from what I can tell genuinely, yet there is certain element of--- well, chaos is not the right word as I do believe there is a method to how you work. And yet, I can find no other word at the moment that suits better.

Though I admit our interactions have been brief, I still have no understanding of your motivations.

What, chaos not enough for you?

Am I believe that you act only based on flights of fancy?

Sure. I mean, why not?
