[ 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]

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.

He nods thoughtfully, though, considering this.]
They're rare in Teyvat, too. Unless you count vishaps, but they're a little different.
