I cannot say what I would or would not have done in those circumstances. It is unfathomable to me how that could have happened considering the events that transpired as I remember.
The Traveler would not have killed you. They are not the kind of person even if you had been on opposing sides. So what then could have---
What I can tell you with certainty is that I do not wish for your to die. Even if that is just a selfish desire of mine.
...just a little. [ he summons a snake of water to clean himself of the blood staining his person. ] Me or not, if he oversteps his boundaries, then I’m killing him.
[ if zhongli can consider giving him life, then he can consider ending his life. ]
Considering your nature, I would not expect anything less than for you to see him as a challenge. As violence to be one of the languages you communicate in.
But I will admit I am at a loss on what I have done to upset you.
[ they fought once already, so it’s bound to happen again. ]
[ who else could keep up with childe besides childe? ]
It’s not you specifically. It’s you in general, having decided to play god without my consent, I’m sure, because why in Teyvat would this ever be a topic of conversation? I may get into a number of dangerous fights and, sure, the threat of dying always looms overhead, but... [ he’s not weak. he knows his limits, which is why he’a always pushing to make them broader. he wouldn’t die, especially not to ‘himself’ of all things. ]
[ he sets a hand on his face and sighs. ] I really don’t know what to think or how to feel and I hate it.
I don’t know. I really don’t know. [ part of him wants to apologize for how difficult this is and how he’s being, but the other part is still upset at zhongli and this other him, so he just keeps his mouth shut and tries sorting through his muddled thoughts and feelings. ]
I’m sure this will sort itself out... at some point.
[ he also seems to be having a difficult time with how to go on. he's reminded of how things were following the liyue incident and that has him frowning. ] Did you still want to go on that walk? [ maybe that'll help clear his head of some of these thoughts, because he's seriously at a loss for what to do. ]
[ he simply nods at that and heads toward zhongli. he can take the lead, since it had been his idea in the first place. perhaps he had a path for them to traverse in mind already. ]
I do more than fight with it. My Vision is an extension of me. Just like any weapon I pick up. If you’re going to excel at something you need to know how to use it effectively in circumstances of all kinds. [ so not just for fighting, though that’s obviously his favorite thing to do with it. he moves a hand to it, feeling his anger bubble as he thinks back to when kaeya took it. it was like losing a piece of himself... ]

We do not have to talk about this or anything else for that matter. Perhaps just the fresh air will help settle some of our unease.

I do not believe I have seen you use your hydro powers for such a skill before.

How handy! ]
