[ It's a strange turn of events, he thinks, to house the man that had just tried to off a high-ranking member of the mafia. But then he remembers the way that Rex Lapis had looked in the dark, the growl and the rumble of the creatures and how he'd... survived what was essentially a shot to the head at point-black range.
Who does that? No one human, that's who.
Perhaps that was the reason why Rex Lapis had gone uncontested as the head of the family for so long. ]
Spending more time with me? [ Did he mean the kiss? That wasn't... he hadn't been asking him out or anything, but... well, admittedly he wouldn't mind spending a bit more time with him. Maybe he could find out more information about his brother.
And possibly get the rest of that kiss, too. He won't hold his breath.
As Zhongli leans over to start unlocking and unclasping the chains keeping him bound to the floor, Childe closes his eyes and basks in the warmth and the solid feeling of another body against his own. He doesn't realize he's chasing after Zhongli's scent until his nose brushes against whatever part of him he could reach - fabric or skin or hair, it doesn't matter - and he inhales deeply, feeling something in him settle comfortably and peacefully at the other's aroma. ]
... are you gonna join me in the shower? [ He's half-serious, half-joking; messed up as he is, it's hard to tell. By all accounts it's probably a bad idea to try and worm your way into the bed of the brother of the man who just tried to kill you - well deserved as it was - but Childe's never really been one to back down from a bad idea when he really wanted something. ]
