[ you make me play childe in this house how dare you
he's chattering about someone named teucer to someone VERY uninterested about his personal life when he spots mizu, and he lights up. hey!! his insane sword friend! ignores the other person to go talk to mizu. ]
[you put childe in this house in front of my murder enthusiast and now you must live with your choices]
Yes, I am. [hello, insane knife friend. a quick glance at the person he was talking to, acknowledging the conversation that just got interrupted.] I hope I didn't interrupt anything important.
[i wish i wasn't playing someone who would absolutely walk into a desolated area with a stranger just because they thought they would get something out of it
HOWEVER--]
... Maybe later. [we are absolutely never looping back to the little brother conversation. anyway, nods.] Alright. Best you don't draw that woman's attention again, either.
Hey, with the experience you have? You'll get it easy.
Let me show you. So - here. [ and honestly? he'll just... show mizu how to make ice weapons? just like that. whatever he wants to make, he can do. childe's a little bit of a chatterbox when it comes to weapons and weapon strength, and so he goes through all of the pros and cons of ice knives, ice polearms, and ice bows, but he's a good teacher and he's patient.
[hilariously, mizu canonly did learn how to use a sword purely through watching other people. so childe is actually right. mizu soaks up all this word vomit about weapons and weapon strength like a very enthusiastic sponge.]
Fascinating stuff.
[honestly? absolutely delighted.]
Why not? Sounds like a better use of my time than going back to that bonfire.
[ THIS IS SO FUNNY PIXI COME GET YOUR MAN HE'S FAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE
they duel! mizu kicks childe's ass, and he's fucking EXHILARATED at this. what he does after this is pull himself to his feet, spit blood off to the side, and grin wildly at mizu. what he'll propose is they duel every day to keep each other sharp, and of course, so childe can figure out how to beat him. it's been a long time since anybody has done that. he doesn't mind fighting again, but eventually he'll have to go report to jing yuan about something, so. still! they're gonna be best friends, he's decided it.
do you wanna talk to someone else, or just hang out with childe? ]
[unfortunately, mizu is extremely down for this. hateful. the medic part of combat medic is getting thrown off a cliff so fast.
anyway, there's no one else mizu would like to talk to. so i guess for now we're just hanging out with childe until he has to go report to jing yuan. bye, bestie.]

it's fine. he laughs, and beckons for him to follow. ]
Oh, Yae? She's harmless. Just a bit of fun with her. [ c: ] So, you're interested in ice, huh? You've worked with it a lot or no?
[ did you know hydro, the element that childe is, doesn't exist in hsr. now you do. ]
no subject
A fair amount. Whenever I wasn't studying, I was working with ice.
[i, quynn, have no idea how hsr elements work. quietly takes hsr canon accurate lore out the back.]
no subject
Damn, I might have a rival on my hands. [ sound less excited about this, childe. ] Well, have you ever made weapons out of it? Like how I did earlier.
no subject
Weapons? Not quite. But I'm very interested to learn more about how you did that.
