Mochi: Where are you? You don't have to come back but just tell me you're still here.

[ ✖️ unread. ]

[ mochi isn’t going to get a response. no matter how many hours he waits. ]

[ and it definitely doesn’t look like childe has even popped back into snail since their spat, so ??? ]

[ childe will have 78 calls following that message ]

[ mochi...! 78 calls is so many!! at least you get to hear childe's voicemail each time. that's something, right? ]

[ ✅ read. ]

[ also he's just going to take a few minutes to scroll through all of those calls. mochi, mochi are you okay? ]

[ HE IS JUST FINE. But he sees the checkmark as he was checking his phone, and now he has to make up an excuse as to why he called him 78 times ]

Mochi: My phone was in my pocket and it just called on its own.

[ ...nailed it. ]

Caeli; And this happened 78 times?

Mochi: Yes
Mochi: Welcome back

[ he does not believe him. ]

Caeli; Thanks. [ this is a little awkward given their... parting. he didn't have a chance to attention a reconciliation before getting gobbled up by a stupid plant. he's tempted to ask if he's missed him, but that seems kind of presumptuous... even if he did call him 78 times. ]

Caeli; I'll be back home in a little while. I'm a little exhausted.

[ a game must have happened and snail must have lost, because he feels doubly like shit. ]

Mochi: You can't go home
Mochi: There's poison
Mochi: we're in the baths

Caeli; Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

[ he doesn't want to have that conversation over the phone, so ]

Mochi: Come to the baths.

Caeli; ... I'll be there in a few hours.

Mochi: Why hours? Where are you?

Caeli; I'm in the forest somewhere. I'm pretty sure a plant puked me up, so I'm covered in ick. And I'm just... tired. A lot's happened.

Mochi: I want to see you

Caeli; Did you miss me?

Mochi: I was worried

[ oh. ]

Caeli; I’m okay. A lot more resilient than I look.

Mochi: Just give me a location pin, I'll come get you.

[ drops a pin. ]

[ mochi can find him sitting beside a now dead plant covered in goo and blood, though the blood is from his endeavors back home. he has six tails now, and he’s still got those cute furry ears. ]

[ he's going to nyoom there so fast. but once he sees him he's. a little surprised ]

—How'd you get like that in a plant?

[ he looks up at Mochi and then down at himself, giving a tired laugh. ] I went back to hell and everything’s over now, they shut it down. [ he shakes a hand out, trying to get some of the goo off. ] And I even went back home.

[ childe certainly pings a little bit differently now. his energy is more stable, and he’s no longer human. ]

[ is that a good or a bad thing ... he's not sure yet. But he will offer him a hand so he can fly him away ]

Are you okay?

[ it's all a matter of perspective. ]

[ childe shakes his head. ] I don't want to move. Not right now. I need a few minutes. [ or hours. ] ...just to catch my breath. [ maybe a little more. ] But you didn't answer my question, [ he finally takes his hand, but only to tug him down beside him. ] did you get hurt in the game? I can tell something happened. My taboos are going wild.
