Also I forgot to mention the seelie is wearing a party hat. He nods at Gideon because he truly doesn't care where he sleeps, then tilts his head at Four.]
What's wrong? [Don't tell him this is another person who apparently knows him and he doesn't remember,]
It doesn't matter what manner of person you are. You could only be interested in men, and I would give the same answer. I do not wish to be like my sister even in death. We may be dead, but it does not mean I should lose all sense of my propriety.
[ so it matters to her!! a lot!! too much. someone tell her to loosen up. ]
I do not wish to make too much trouble, so if it is easier, I shall simply remove myself from this room.
[He just kind of. Looks blankly at Gideon for a minute because he grew up with sisters and then got shipped off to the army so this has never happened to him before
He just shrugs, though.]
I can sleep somewhere else, if that would make you feel better. [He's slept in worse places, it's fine.] I think it would probably be harder for you to find somewhere acceptable, no?
This is stupid. Propriety can suck my ass. [a beat.] You can just have the room to yourself in that case. It's not like I was planning on actually sleeping here.
[Awkward... Gideon's comment makes him laugh quietly, because, well. He's obviously not prim and proper either.] Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me. I don't sleep much anyway. [It's less a chivalrous offer and more the fact that he's paranoid... Though, that said--] I have a feeling you'll have to reconsider your priorities one way or another, though, if our hosts are anything to go by.
[FOUR your DRINKING PARTY WITH SATAN
Also, to Gideon:]
I'm guessing you want to be with--[Ah, he hasn't learned everyone's names yet, he got distracted fighting. He gestures at his face instead, figuring Gideon will understand he's referencing Harrow's makeup]
[wow what the fuck childe don't just make her look like a total dweeb that's devoted to the tiny bone witch in front of four]
More like I've been ordered to. I would rather drown myself.
[she glances between the two of them.] I'm not kicking anybody out of their room. I'd say switch with Nonagesimus but then she [jabs a thumb at four] would have to deal with her and that's actually worse than any punishment the demons here can dole out.
[ she thinks the drinking party with satan is a joke. she frowns. ]
I don't expect the drinking to resurrect to come true. [ it's so.... whimsical to four. ] I want to make the least fuss, but I can't help the way I was raised to think.
[ it's hard to change the person she wants to be. ]
I haven't spoken to Harrowhark, but how are you connected to her, Gideon?
[LISTEN he just made an assumption based off their makeup but now he's assuming it's more of a Harbinger-esque deal than anything so he just nods in understanding.
As for Four--he's not particularly invested one way or the other in her dilemma, but he can't help pointing out--]
Even if it's not, the alternative is being stuck here forever. [With a group of sadistic wardens and a bunch of guys who do things like headbutt walls and clog toilets...]
I'm not trying to argue, [Because it's true that he doesn't care either way] but I suspect you'll have a harder time if you're not prepared to adapt.
[she answers four. the way she says this makes it sound like she's stepped in something unpleasant. the rest of it she just ignores because she thinks it's boring, i'm so sorry.]
Nothing here is much I particularly care for. [ whether that's the partying, the drinking, the subpar housing quarters, the clogging toilets, or all of the above. ] How I'll adapt is my prerogative.
[ she does sound like any teenager who may or may not get in over her head. if childe doesn't care, he can stay not caring. ]
[Four is going to have a terrible time on Saturday. But for now, Childe just shrugs; as long as he can use the closet for storage and like, possibly come crash when Four's not here or whatever he's fine with sleeping in the common room.
But he seems interested in hearing Gideon's answer too, so he doesn't say anything, just cocks his head to the side and waits for her to elaborate]

she leans against the doorframe. unfortunately, this sort of living space is kind of luxurious to her.]
I call bottom bunk.

the tiny friend is kind of cute? maybe? jury's out for now. four frowns the moment she sees childe, and her hands are folded in front of her. ]
I don't mind if you have that bed, but I apologize. I don't know if this rooming arrangement can work.

no subject
no subject
Dragons exist, but they're rare. My country is inhabited by humans, but my sister in the Land of Forests has faeries that coinhabit with humans.
no subject
He nods thoughtfully, though, considering this.]
They're rare in Teyvat, too. Unless you count vishaps, but they're a little different.
