[He stays where he is, resting his head in his arms.]

Are you afraid that you won't be able to?

I am, actually. I’m not as concerned about myself. I don’t really have any doubts there. I made a promise and I intend to keep it, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to see it to the end. But as for Mochi… there’s something special about his smile, and I want to see it over and over and over. I just don’t know what will happen here. I can only try. [ which is exactly what he plans to do, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a little worried. ]

[ he pats the spot on the bed beside him. ]

[He does not move to join.]

You are setting yourself up for heartbreak. But I suppose, who am I to judge.

Do you have any immediate needs? This rooms provide the basics and only just that.

Maybe. [ probably. ] And some of the ruins are still locked, so I can’t do much to make it better, but… I haven’t eaten in a while…

There is still stale cake.

[But no, out of aetherspace he tosses his an apple.]

I'm afraid I don't have more than that on me at the moment.

[ he catches the apple. ] I appreciate the gesture, but… not for conventional food. [ once again he pats the spot beside him. ] You wanted my name, but how about I tell you a little bit more about myself first~

What do you eat, then? The organs of others.

[He waves a hand.]

Go on.

[ childe laughs, holding his sides. ] No, not at all. I still eat normal food, but now and then I have to drink blood.

How curious. Is vampirism common on your star? I must admit, I don't know a lot about it.

Not to my knowledge, no. It’s another corruption of mine. I have a great deal of them from all the fun I had on the other show. My tails and ears are cute, sure, but the others are fairly annoying. This one in particular… so… what can I do to convince you to let me have a drink?

Oh, the tails or ears are new. How cute!

[He clicks his tongue.]

Hard pass I'm afraid. There are enough parasites here. I don't need more

Then leave.

Is that all I'm worth?

No, but I don't want to start attacking you.

If you get violent, I can escort myself out.

You really enjoy being difficult, huh? [ he laughs, balling a fist and bringing it to his mouth to sink his teeth into. his own blood doesn't do anything for him, but the smell helps a little... ]

Are you going to attack other people in this house?

I would leave before I hurt the team.

...

...

Come here.

[ approaches cautiously. ]

[He gives his arm.]

Only for tonight. Do not expect any liberties upon the further days.

[ he bites back a remark, because emet is helping him. childe takes his arm and brings it to his mouth, hesitating... but the urges are beginning to overwhelm him, so he sinks his teeth in and drinks. ]

[It is absolutely clear on his face that he does not like it, but remains silent for the duration.]

...sorry, I'm... sorry. [ murmurs against his arm. he hates this, but he doesn't want to go berserk because of some stupid corruption. he eventually releases emet's arm, taking a step back and as he licks his lips. ]

[He takes his arm back holding a hand over the bite.]

It is an affliction. And I would not have you going insane on your first day. You still need to make a good impression after all.
