when Zhongli opens the door to the sight of his suitcase and his jacket and gloves resting in the hallway beyond, there's a moment or two where Childe feels his hackles race, instinct alerting him to the threat of potential danger with the realization that someone might have been listening in on them. perhaps Rex Lapis himself. it takes Zhongli's blasé reaction to everything to calm him down with the realization that this was probably something he'd expected, and they were not in any real danger.
which was good, because he didn't want to take too long lest Zhongli change his mind. ]
Ah? That's good! [ he chirps, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and getting to his feet. whether it's because he's still feeling the lingering effects of Rex's... whatever he did to him, or because he's a quick recover it's hard to say, but walking isn't as big an issue as it should have been and it's only a moment before he's at Zhongli's side. ]
