[ childe feels his limbs growing stiff as he's blasted with the cold, but he perseveres and continues slashing at snow, because while his body may be screaming at him to back off he doesn't care in the slightest. while snow adopted the cold cheri grew up with the cold. ]
[ childe tries to evade him, but he's not able to do so in time. he definitely needs to put some space in between them to thaw his limbs a little. he grunts, something thin and slimy grabbing snow's wrist and keeping him from pulling back entirely. ]
Don't know and at this point I don't care. [ another hydro appendage is going to try to wrap around his neck to prevent him from running his mouth anymore. ]
[ as soon as the appendage turns to ice, cracks apart, and falls into pieces on the ground childe's hand is there to grab at snow's neck; nails digging in as tightly as he can manage. ] Hydro is probably one of the most frightening elements to be able to control... [ the body is, in fact, made of 80% water, and childe is going to absolutely try to manipulate the water on the surface of his skin, pulling it out and trying to make the skin crack. ] Have you ever drowned before, Snow, [ he laughs, water snakes spiraling up his legs and starting to squeeze. ] it's not the least bit pleasant, especially not when done slowly. [ better be careful if you open your mouth to talk, snow, because childe is going to try to shove another, thicker, hydro appendage into his mouth, so he can start the painfully slow process of filling up his lungs. ]
[ childe lets out a maniac kind of laughter that's interrupted by a sputter of blood as snow drives a dagger into his chest. a crackle of electro shatters it just like the first one, but the damage is done, and blood continues to seep out of his mouth as he aims to make his lungs literally burst from the excess of water. ] A valiant effort. [ coughs, flashing him a smile. ] As I said, I thought you were different... but you're just like the rest, a disappointment.

But it’s just a moment, as those appendages are starting to turn to ice and crumble ]

Well, dying wasn’t pleasant before. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter, does it? So, whatever fear is relatively mitigated.
But he isn’t giving up, either. As evidenced by the sudden jerk as he slams an icicle dagger into Cheri’s chest. ]
