Ah---

[ Zhongli reaches out uselessly when Childe melts, but by the time he realizes what has happened he's already gone.

Odd.

Does that mean Childe is also a ghost? (But Zhongli is able to take his clothes with him across solid spaces.)

He paces the temple, trying to listen for the sounds of Childe moving in the walls or floor or even the ceiling, but unsurprisingly he hears nothing.

--Until tentacles have already wrapped around his arms and legs. ]

Childe--!!!

[ a laugh bubbles from behind zhongli as the tentacles start dragging him backward. childe reaches out, his 'naked' body now completely translucent and blue... and gooey. how about a hug? ] What is it, Xiansheng? [ he gives a solid yank on the tentacles, hoping to catch zhongli before he can escape. he doesn't want to take a chance... so in addition to his arms and the tentacles that have already got him a few more shoot out to help. ] Don't like my new look? I'm like a hydro slime. Maybe a little stickier, sure, but... it's fun~

[ Perhaps surprisingly, after the initial shock, Zhongli ceases struggling as Childe reels him. There is just an unpleasant shiver now and then as the slime comes in contact with -- well lots of parts of him since he slips in and out of being translucent so the tentacles literally get everywhere.

Eventually though, he's close enough to press his cheek to Childe's cheek and look at up him with a dangerous smile. ]

I see.

[ He places a kiss that slimy blue skin, quick and efficient ]

Childe.

Is there a reason you enjoy doing this to me?

[ as soon as zhongli is close enough childe wraps himself around zhongli like a blanket. no more tentacles. ] Doing what? [ he gives him a quick kiss in return. ] I didn't pick my monster, Xiansheng. I'm just making the best of the card I've been dealt. And if you're talking about the tentacles... you know I've always tried to refrain from using my hydro in a similar manner because I know it makes you uncomfortable... but now when I win...

[ Zhongli visibly relaxes with the tentacles recede, unmoving in Childe's grip. ]

When you win?

[ A light laugh, ever so fond. Presumptuous. ]

And what would you want as your prize, hmmm?

[ don't mind him grinning like the ever confident idiot that he is. ] It seems like we transform based on which card we're using. I brought along a card I want you to use for one thing and one thing only. [ although, now he's getting a little... shy, maybe because it's one thing to think about it and another to have to say it aloud. ] Ah, I was thinking you could, [ clears his throat. ] hoping you could... [ is the slime turning a light pink? no, shutup. ] bed me in your dragon form.

Oh?

[ He turns what he can of his head to look at Childe, placing a kiss upon his cheek. ]

And what form would you like to take in this scenario?

...something that won't break, I don't know. I'll probably stay like this and do my best to stay solid. [ he would really love to just be himself, but he also doesn't want to be split in half. ] Or do you think one would work better?

[ A hand reaches up inside the slime (or does its best attempt at) to gently pat Childe's cheek. It's still encased though, so Zhongli hasn't quite begun to implement his escape strategy. ]

I will not break you, whatever form you decide to take.

But I would not be completely truthful if I didn't say that I always wondered what kind of dragon you would be.

A strong and fierce creature that takes to the sky perhaps. Or more like a noble sea serpent who commands the seas.

...then I want to be myself. And oh? are you adding to your list of things you'd to see, Xiansheng? Maybe even do. [ snickers. ] I'm sure it could be either or. But [ squeezes him a little bit harder, giving his cheek a peck. ] that's what I'd like. At least one of the things...

An intriguing request then. We can start with that one.

Edited 2022-10-29 16:54 (UTC)

Once you win, of course.

[ Though Zhongli cannot fully escape, he does sink translucent fingers underneath Childe's slime skin, searching, probing.

Trying to find anything sensitive within that gelatinous mass. If he finds something, he's going to give it a warning squeeze ]

I'm pretty sure I've already won. And besides, what do you intend to do to break free, hm, from the looks of it, Xiansheng, you're pretty stu- [ since everything's pretty much in the same spot, just goo, zhongli won't exactly have to search too hard. ]

-ah hah. [ childe's entire body quivers around him, flushing a soft pink as his hold definitely does relax. ]

[ Oh, this is much more convenient than he anticipated.

Zhongli will just gaze at Childe fondly as he continues to stroke him intimately from the inside. If he manages to hold out for sixty seconds (how convenient for Zhongli that he is starting the timer on the clock just now), then it will be a well deserved win for the Harbinger. ]

I am well restrained, yes.

So it all depends on whether or not you can keep me there.

[ wow!!! it's basically been 60+ seconds, ...although childe hasn't been counting or keeping track, so the loss will be his own fault in the end. ] O- Of course I can. What makes you think I can't, I've... I've had you already, so... this is going to be cake, you'll see... [ if zhongli keeps up whatever he's doing then childe is going to be a puddle in a matter of seconds, so... he's all talk, honestly. ]

[ On one hand, Zhongli should definitely feel remorse for bending the rules to aid him in his victory.

On the other, seeing Childe literally melt into a puddle due to a few simple touches is a sight that he doesn't get to savor too often. So this one, he is definitely savoring.

At length, he is able to wriggle out from some of Childe's slimey body, but he just moves his hands somewhere else and continues stroking, now humming a little as he watching Childe relax before he is. ]

Yes, you are very convincing.

[ childe shudders around zhongli, a moan slipping past his lips in between all of that shit talking. it's all a little too much to handle, so childe's hold on zhongli finally releases, the harbinger oozing to the floor in an actual slime like blob. he curses in mumbled snezhnayan as he oozes backward, putting some space in between them so he can reshape himself - his arms folded like a petulant little child. ] I had to have been close... [ huff huff huff. ]

You were very close.

[ He crouches down to the blob, giving it an affectionate pat. ]

If you would please---

[ He points to the aforementioned were-dragon card ]

I would like to give myself a reward.

Edited 2022-10-30 02:56 (UTC)

[ childe peers over his shoulder at the card. he grabs it with a tentacle and then offers it to zhongli. ] What kind of reward were you thinking?

[ He picks it up, immediately becoming more solid as more dragon like features begin to overtake him.

His tail lazily swishes on the ground as he pockets the card somewhere safe. ]

Is there any greater reward than you getting exactly the type of pleasure you want?

[ childe's going to cast his own card aside, so he becomes his regular old self again. no more goo. ] Is this something you wanted too then?

[ No more goo.

Which means that Zhongli is going to start coiling around Childe. Unlike his normal half dragon form, with the help of Halloween magic, he is more of a true were dragon. His lower half is long and flowing like his exuvia, ending in a tapering tail tipped with a fluffy of golden mane.

Twice, his lower half coils around Childe as he gently takes Childe's face in his hands. ]

I always want you. All of you.

And I always want to give you all of me.

Is that not what it means to be betrothed as we are?

[ childe doesn't squirm as zhongli coils around around him. he welcomes the bronze and golden scales as they encompass him, setting a hand atop his body and giving it an affectionate stroke once it seems like zhongli is satisfied with how much of a hold he's got on childe. he smiles up at him, turning his head to kiss the inside of his palm. ]

I'm sure, yeah, ...and I hope you know you have all of me too. I want nothing more than to make you happy, Xiansheng. [ he tries to reach up with his other hand to coax him into a proper kiss. ]
