[He makes him a staff of vines.]

Do you actually need first aide?

[And then after a moment.]

You know what I gave up, right?

...no. I'm just exhausted, and not just physically, but that's certainly not helping. [ he shuts his eyes. ] I don't know the whole story. Just bits and pieces from about three different sources. What did you give up?

My emotions. My connection to people. So that I could never be betrayed again.

[Dragging him to Snail.]

Come on. You never knew how to back down. That's how you got into the Harbingers after all.

But it didn't work, ... [ he trails off. he figures scaramouche wouldn't have flipped a shit if he had been able to rid himself of his emotions and his connections. ] Isn't that lonely? [ he reaches back for his arm, giving a tug. ] ...that's not exactly why. I'm a human weapon.

It did until recently. And no, I wasn't lonely.

[He folds his arms.]

Not here. The rules have changed.

[ #doubt. ]

[ he arches a brow. ] What's that supposed to mean?

There is no Tsaritsa, no Gods, no Celestia. Not even your family to see and send gifts back to.

You can finally take time for yourself.

…no, no I can’t. Just because the rules of the game have changed doesn’t meant my objectives have too. And on top of all that I have to find a few other people. Things are only getting more and more complicated.

Sounds like you are just overcomplicating things. What does a human weapon have need for people anyway?

Maybe.

…it’s not like I could help falling in love.

...

...

With who?

Another version of you.

Him?

Mochi. Is that why you are so protective of him?

Tsukiakari, but I do also love Mochi.

So I'm the only one you don't love.

Who says that won’t change? Or are you afraid of catching the feels?

I don't like being second best, and I doubt he does either.

And you can watch over him since you are on Snail.

...no one does, but love's not a contest. [ holds a hand out to him again. ]

Being on the same team does help.

[He doesn't take his hand, but he does keep his arm over his shoulder.]

If you know me at all, you know that doesn't alleviate the jealousy.

[ childe lets his hand drop with a sigh. he moves away from scaramouche with a few staggering steps. ] Nothing alleviates jealousy. But I thought you shed all of those useless emotions when you became a god, ...what happened to that?

You can blame him. I haven't had these problems for a while.

[A pause.]

Do you not want my help?

I don't think that's true at all. I'm sure your ascension made it easier to put a lid on all of that BS, but it didn't make it go away. All it took was meeting somebody that stirred those feelings inside of you again.

It's not like I expected to fall in love with any of you.

I'm not going back to Snail, so if that's where you intend to drag me, then I'm good.

I could just as easily get rid of him. Problem solved.

Where do you want to go?
