You are not that daft. I'm sure you can puzzle out the meaning.
[Though he makes the most put out sound at getting wet, giving him a look which he probably enjoys. Though he just wills himself to be dry because dreams and he's just like that.
He does look more like a spear museum as time goes one and it does continue to thrash and try to bite. A leg here. And arm there. His head. To all varying degrees of ... well ... not success. But one spear does get it in the idea and it does thrash about wildly and then uses the attack which was most effective.
Trample.
Though it can't see and this platform doesn't have guard rails, so the result is as expected. The question is does he get a +1 to this date.]
ā¦are you talking about sensei and his newfound disposition? [ his face falls flat as soon as emet makes himself dry again, so he splashes him again, because heās petty. ]
[ childe continues baiting the monster around the arena, making it seem like heās not going to be swift enough to dodge itās attempts, but then evading it at the last second each time ā laughter bubbling up until it becomes a touchā¦ unhinged. it tapers the moment the thing goes sailing over the edge and he follows to watchā¦ seemingly disappointed. ]
Is that itā¦? [ pouts, spinning around to face emet. ] An interesting opponent. Is that something from your home?
Hey! What's the big idea?! [ definitely going to move away from any parts of the platform that look like they're about to crumble away. ] What was the point of inviting me here? Are you pissed about something?
[The platform is becoming smaller and smaller! So come cuddle!]
I am actually not upset. I want him to flourish, however, he chooses.
[Okay. Maybe he is a little jealous but at least he's aware enough to know it is on him. But that doesn't mean he won't be a little petty.]
But you wanted something exciting to fight. Though truly I imagine you simply want adrenaline to pour through your veins. To bask in it. To feel that moment of uncertainty if victory is assured.
[ he does inevitably move closer and closer, finding himself more or less flush against emet once the platformās become just a small floating rock. ] uhHuh, I donāt completely believe you. [ HE KNOWS JEALOUSYā¦ being a jealous person, himself. ]
I did, and you delivered, so thanks for that, but you didnāt need to do something like this to get my blood pumping. [ snickers. ]
[ childe laughs, the contact to his chest spurring a sudden change. hydro swirls and electro sparks as he morphs into something much larger, his foul legacy. good luck shoving a brick shithouse backward, emet, but a valiant effort nonetheless! ] Hah. Iām wounded. [ except, you know, not really. ] And here I thought we could have a little bit of fun~
[Well, the shoving is unsuccessful, but the rest of the platform does give away, but Emet has a feeling that he won't be the only one floating in midair.]
[ sets a clawed hand on emet's head for a quick pat as he leans in, mask splitting apart to reveal a number of razor sharp serrated teeth. ] I have a number of definitions of fun.
I think at some point I might have said that I'm full of surprises... but if not, well... surprise. [ sneers, the sound coming out akin to a guttural purr. ]
I had hoped you'd cross blades with me, but it seems like you and Five are similar in regard to wanting to keep away from all the bloodshed... I imagine for different reasons.
Would you believe I came from a peaceful utopia? Battles such as this were for recreation and academics only.
Besides, I would hardly play fair.
[And he won't! Caeli will feel something in his head trying to 'push' his personality down. Not squash or destroy it, but simply wrap it in a cocoon. An inaccessible cocoon.]
...uhhuh, [ he's calling bullshit. ] and that thing you'd summoned for me to fight was just something you made just for me? pah, I'm not buying it. [ laughs. ] At least your honest, but now that I know I have no reason to play fair either.
[ alexander will find that's not easy. there's already a thick layer of something sinister having not only encased his personality, but started melding with it and it doesn't appreciate the intruders. the fact that he's transformed into his foul legacy makes it that much more prominent, so he'll feel a push back. ]
A guy wants confirmation when something attempts to grope around in his head. And, hn, speaking of whichā¦ [ heās going to see if he canāt influence the dream a little. sure, Alexander may be more skilled, but childe knows nightmares and thatās exactly what heās going to try to force on him. ]
The dream will actually bend to his will. As if the ability was given to him, because he's being giving Cosmo and Five control over the dreams of late when resting on reflex.
All around him is the sound of breaking glass. Loud and overpowering and reverberating in his bones. And Emet's face does pale for it.]
Fascinating. [ childe is aware of the irreversible damage done to him by the abyss, but he doesn't seem all that hard pressed about it, especially when he can project all that taint onto someone else for half a second. ]
[ he's not interested in taking over completely... and really just wants to be pretty right back at alexander for disturbing him and making him fight fear embodied. ]
...oops. [ he moves his hand from alexander's head to his cheek and then under his chin. ] Sometimes it gets a little out of hand.
With pleasure. [ childe takes his hand back and lets his foul legacy form start to de-materialize, but it doesn't stop there and soon he disappears too... leaving alexander alone. ]

Re: Day 373
[Well, he's not a person that expends effort if he doesn't have to so he'll keep the wet rat look for the moment.
The creature does fall further and further and further away. Maybe it hits the planet below? Who knows!
He was about to say something, but gives him a look for the last comment and snaps his fingers.
The platform begins to crack pieces breaking off.]

... You are a bit too young for me.
[And then he puts both hand on his chest and shoves.]

Re: Day 373
[ yep! he's just floating there along with him. ]
Re: Day 373
How curious. You grow more intriguing.
[Guess the both of them are simply going to float in the air.]
You seem under the impression that I'm going to make a good playmate for fighting.

Re: Day 373
[That is curious! The thing in his head circles it, more academically than trying to injure it, poking and prodding.]
Now what is this?
Re: Day 373
[ it's going to lash out in an attempt to smother the intruder. ]
What's what?
Re: Day 373
[He'll pull back when it gets agitated enough to lash out not wanting to dig deeper into that for the moment.]
The blight surrounding your soul.
