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.

…h- hah, wouldn’t that be something. [ he gives him a lopsided smile that doesn’t exactly stick around for very long. ] Exploring the area aside, it’s something I’ve been working on.

[ he slowly sinks to his knees, sitting back on his haunches, because that’s not even the only affliction that he has. ]

I’m quite the mess, huh?

[He does walk over and brushes a hand slightly through his hair.]

It has been a trying day. Do not be hard on yourself.

It’s been a while since I had to worry about any of this. I had people who would help… but now [ he moves a hand to his mask, fingers hooking into the eye slits as he drags it over his face. ] If I ever do lose it… will you kill me?

I won't have to. Someone else will.

Be careful who you ask that to. There are many here that are softer than their exterior would tell.

…this isn’t something I intend to tell just anybody. I’ll find somebody else if you’re not willing.

Then I will give you my word that I will intervene on Snail's behalf. Is that good enough?

Not that there won't be a line with Gojo at the head of it.
