[HE LEARNED SOME NEW THINGS THIS WEEK AFTER THEY BANGED, GOJOU. SOME VERY NEW THINGS.
He just snorts, though.]
That's exactly why! It's dark enough in there that I thought it would get overlooked. [And it did? He thinks? He hasn't asked if Lust is the one who ate it, oops.] If I'd known that room was going to be involved, I would've just given it to them in person...
[ ... that he might have a burn kink? is that what you're trying to tell me? Gojou just. Fucking laughs right now because Childe is trying to hide a box of pizza for someone. It's.
MMMM. ]
Personal deliveries are better since you don't need to worry about what-ifs. With the direction of the trial, you could have been in trouble.
[ imagine........................ being accused of turning someone into a pizza and eating the evidence. ]
[STOP THIS HE JUST LEARNED WHAT WAXPLAY WAS PUSHES YOU!!!!]
Haha, well, they're a bit upset with me at the moment. [So. That's why. He very carefully did not speak to Lust this trial.] But Endorsi was with me the whole time. And if I'd had to, I would've admitted as much to everyone else. They were right there to confirm, after all.
[And Childe doesn't have so much pride that he can't admit when he fucked up. He waves a lazy hand.]
Your concern is appreciated, but you don't need to worry. I'm not so careless as to get accused of murder on accident.
What, that I'm not a prince? [He laughs, shaking his head.] Oh, no, she knows. But she's my staunchest ally, you know! If you don't speak kindly of me around her, I can't protect you from a lecture.
[There's clear fondness in his voice and on his face as he speaks, though--yes, definitely warm feelings there.]

And not the planetarium? I would have eaten it if I noticed it.

You are pretty sharp. [ A clever and fighty man. ] I'd be heartbroken to see you get framed, but at least I don't need to worry.
[ also, he might as well ask. ]
... Why is Lust upset at you, anyway?
no subject
He laughs at that, though--Gojou would be a little more bored, perhaps, but "heartbroken"? Please. It's still funny to hear, though.
And it's fine to ask, because Childe has no problem answering!]
Oh, I asked them if they killed Tamaki.
[IS HE PRETTY SHARP, GOJOU, ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT.]
no subject
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm. NOO. He's laughing... That's so funny and he gets it. He really does. ]
I think you owe her more than a pizza, taters.
no subject
Yes, yes, I'll apologize properly soon. I just thought it best to give her some space, first.
[Listen. Why would he have assumed that the murder robot would be capable of blood spatter hearts!!!]
no subject
[ Gojou is just learning how stupid Childe is which he doesn't mind. They're both idiots, so two peas in a pod. ]
Are you popular with women? At all.
[ Because... Oof. ]
no subject
laughs into hands
Also, he knows what Gojou is implying here, but he just smiles sunnily and says--]
Her Majesty the Tsaritsa has had no complaints about my service.
[Her Majesty would kick his ass for this purposeful misunderstanding, probably, but she's not here so it's fine.]
no subject
Gojou means personality, so his mind doesn't really wander that far. Instead, his eyes round at the title "Her Majesty" and "The Tsaritsa." ]
Are you some kind of knight, Childe?
no subject
Haha! I wish a friend of mine could've heard you say that. [He can just picture Traveler's face... hysterical...] More of an emissary, really.
[
well it's not not true]
no subject
[ Gojou says that so blatantly, but he doesn't think that's a bad thing. It's not like... He's a perfect gentleman himself. ]
Your dating profile spells bad boy and you kind of look like one.
no subject
[He says that, but he's laughing. No, no he is not princely, actually.
As far the latter comment, he mouths "dating profile?" to himself... is that what those information cards are, Gojou, really...]
no subject
She doesn't know?
no subject
[There's clear fondness in his voice and on his face as he speaks, though--yes, definitely warm feelings there.]
no subject
Do you have more family? Are they all part of the Tartaglia Protection Squad?
no subject
[Presumably. Who knows. We'll find out the truth in 20 years when Snezhnaya unlocks. Until then I can do whatever I want.]
no subject
[ Or like... Problematic middle child? That might be the case here. ]
no subject
Not at all, they're very important to me. But I have been away for quite a while, and none of them are much like me.
[Definitely problematic middle child.]
no subject
[ Gojou doesn't explain what that means. ]
