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.]
no subject
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. ]
