I want you to know that on my journey to find a shitpost I learned what "pumpkin pounder" means

[The worst part is that this is only half a joke]

No way! [DOES HE LOOK LIKE ITTO TO YOU] I have siblings, you know.

[cavaliered]

You've got siblings? [wow what's that like]

[toyska]

[WHAT'S THAT TONE FOR childe does not say because he is self-aware]

Yep! Six of them. [And, again, because he's self-aware--] They're not like me, though.

[cavaliered]

[everybody really said oh god your parents spawned more of you]

Shame. [this is like half a joke and half serious because she does like childe.] Six. That's a lot. How old?

[toyska]

[yeah]

Three older, three younger! [Oh god he's a middle child. He probably looks the happiest he's looked all week talking about them, though. Also I don't know his older siblings' names or even if they actually exist because the wiki is so vague so]

[(insert 3 vaguely greek names here, 2 girls and 1 boy)] are the oldest, then there's Tonia after me, and Anthon. Teucer's the youngest--he'll be nine, soon.

[Which, he'd... hoped to be home for. Hm. Let's not think about that.]

[cavaliered]

[this is cute though.]

I'm an only child. If you couldn't tell. [this is very dry.] You care about them.

[...] And you're down here.

[toyska]

A whole bedroom to yourself! [But he says that jokingly. And, easily--] Of course. Nothing's more important than family, where I'm from.

[AND... YEAH. He sure is down here. And it's certainly not like he's happy about it, but... he doesn't want her to get the wrong impression, either.]

...I lived a very dangerous life, before this. It's been years since I saw them regularly. [So it's not like he left behind a family who's still waiting for him to walk through the door. Again.] The fate I met--it was only a matter of time. They'll be upset, but not surprised.

[cavaliered]

[a whole bedroom he says, and she wrinkles her nose, but doesn't comment about it.

instead, she kind of takes all that, and just shoves her hands in her pockets.]

... Still, though. [...] It sucks to lose.

[she's never had anything like that. it feels bad to think about.]

[toyska]

[Gideon doesn't sleep (confirmed)

But... well. He inclines his head in acknowledgment.]

It does. [Even if it was inevitable--even if it was his own fault, he won't argue with her on that.

He's quiet for a minute--reminiscing or contemplating, or maybe observing her; it's hard to say from his expression. But, eventually, in a tone that's not quite gentle, but not too pushy either--]

...Did you leave anything behind?

[cavaliered]

[yeah that's what he should take from that]

Nah. [she says, after a moment.] Or - I thought I did, but it came with me. Not my intended result, but what can you do, right?

[toyska]

[Hm. Well, lightly--]

Being stuck with your boss for eternity does sound like eternal torment. [This is clearly a joke, he has nothing against Harrow] I'd be in a terrible mood if some of my colleagues were here.

[cavaliered]

With how you implied that they do nefarious, unforgivable shit like stealing lollies from children, I'm sure. [dryly.]

[toyska]

[oh yeah]

That too.

[cavaliered]

[I'M CRYING]

I was surprised none of mine showed up here. I guess they're coworkers, in the loosest sense. Makes me wonder if I did it wrong and they did it right.

[toyska]

I don't think it's that. [Very confidently??? Why.] Maybe they're late. Or they were early, and we're late.

[cavaliered]

Maybe.

[she watches him for a second, and then:] You hungry?

[toyska]

[Childe simply does not believe it's possible that he'd be in hell and not Signora

But he nods!]

Sure.

[cavaliered]

[she nods, and leads the way and i am ENDING THIS THREAD.]
