...you did lose a lot of people recently. I can stay for a few nights. I just need to pop back over to Wild City, so I don't go grey. [ ... ] We could play a game. [ what game, he has no idea, but there isn't much to be done in here. not that he can think of anyway. ] Would you want to do that?

It's just me and Yvette now.

A game is fine.

Both of you are always welcome at Wild City. [ which has been nothing but a revolving door lately. people in and out that it's hard to get attached, hard to *want* to, and that's not fair on the new people... childe sighs. ] Hm, what game, ... [ a good game for three people. ]

I have heard about a game called 'Monopoly'. But I'll admit I haven't ever played it. We can try that... and drink. [ reaching for his hand. ]

[ he's already started drinking THANKS ZHONGLI. But he'll hold Childe's hand ]

What's the game about?

I think it's about owning everything. Everybody tries to buy up properties on the board, but you try to financially ruin your opponents. [ he's pulled out his phone with his other hand so he can look it up. ] There is also a game simply called... 'Life' on here. Ominous.

I like the idea of financially ruining you.

What makes you think you can financially ruin me? I'm going to be the one to win. [ he's going to buy the game. ]

You're already buying the game, so I'm off to a good start.

...

[ YOU CHEEKY LITTLE BASTARD. ]

[ childe makes some kind of noise as he picks himself up off the floor. ] I'll be right back. I have to go get it. [ he's also going to get a lot more blankets and pillows. and booze. so much more booze. it's all firewater though. ]

[ returns and fwaps scara with a pillow. ] My hand slipped. [ drops everything else, but gingerly sets the alcohol down. ]

[ well. It's cute and even earns him a smile ]

Your property will pay for that.

Will I? And how are you going to make me pay? By having me buy another boardgame? Oooh, I'm so scared.

You're still down some points and I'm not.

[ drops the board game into his lap. ] Since I paid for it, you can set it up. [ he's going to pour himself a glass of firewater in the meantime. ] A suitable tradeoff, I think.

Aren't you afraid I'll give myself the advantage?

[ but he's going to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, like a good boy ]

I'm still going to monopoly you into the ground. [ pours himself a drink and then... immediately downs it. he would have drank from the bottle, but zhongli told him no. ]

[ he's also just drinking more and more sake. And quickly growing tipsy ]

Yes, yes, whatever you say, wife.

[ going to sneak a sip from the bottle when zhongli isn't looking. he bought a bunch!!! it should be fun. laughs afterward, like the most guilty person alive. ] You should be providing for me, husband, you should be getting all the monopolies and giving them to me.

I will get all the monopolies and keep them to myself. I'll become the bank, and I'll rule everyone.

I’m already the bank. Does that mean you’re going to take and rule me too?

I wouldn't mind taking you.

I'm right here, Ptichka. [ challenging~ ]

Oh? Should I take you right in front of Zhongli? How kinky.

I'd like to see you try.

[ oh. Ooooh … that is too tempting, and he’s drunk enough he’s considering ]

No, I shouldn’t.

[ pecks his nose. ] ...I love you.
