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?

Who, Mochi?

Yes, Mochi. He is the one causing the problem.

How is he the problem? You didn’t even seem interested in me, so what do you care if I have feelings for him?

He's a problem for me and my emotions.

I could care less if you two play around. If he gets attached, that is his own fault.

Mochi isn’t to blame for being well-adjusted. You should be able to keep your own emotions in check.

I can blame him all I want, and I will. I'm not looking for acceptance from anyone.

[Sorry, he's a little shit, Caeli.]

[ childe’s just going to laugh at him, because he doesn’t believe that at all. ]

What's so funny, Tartaglia?

You. You're such a tsundere.

[He just makes a face. Of course, he does.]

Whatever.

You can stop pretending you care and leave me here. I'm not interested in going back. [ he picks himself up off the floor and changes into a fox. he gives scaramouche one last look before running off. ]
