This is Childe talking to Aether, catching up with him. Implied Zhongli x Childe ig, coz i just need Childe to be embarrassed abt smthg. Im thinking of making a series filled with random Childe adventures

Don't get Childe wrong. He never thought of doing anything in his job except for killing and fighting. It's mostly what he's hired to do, really. He's the Vanguard of the Tsaritsa for fuck's sake. So paperworks and such? Fuck those honestly.

He wouldn't mind leaving all the work to his comrades, aka mostly Ekaterina. What's their use in the bank if Childe does all the work? Right? He's being a good boss by giving them enough job to serve the Tsaritsa, it should be considered as an honor.

So, when he sat in the Wangmin restaurant indulging himself with teas and... foods that use chopsticks, Childe couldn't careless if someone calls him... What's the term again?

"Lazy" The traveler, Aether always finds a way to make Childe feel small.

Not only this puny son of the devil beats him up every week in the golden house. Somehow, Aether has spare time to mutter these unwanted comments, Childe doesn't obviously want to hear.

His eyebrow twitched hearing the word, Childe placed his chopsticks on his plate gently and then gave Aether a smile "You know, listen here, buddy" His face turned grim despite the smile "I do enough work everyday, I would appreciate it if you fuck off my back and let me eat this goddamn gyoza"

"You can't even pick it up" Aether was smug about it alright, Childe is beginning to lose his cool as time passes by.

"I can! Ok! Just fuck off, dude" Technically, he can, just after 10 minutes or so. The important bit is Childe can and Aether is being a piece of shit, hanging around Childe without any motives and to be a jerk for who knows why. "What's your deal anyways? Where's Paimon?"

"Oh, Paimon's going around with Xiangling" He said nonchalantly

"So, you decided to bother your favorite Fatui Harbinger because you're bored? Real cute, traveler"

"Favorite? You do realize you're the only Harbinger around Liyue" His eyes were looking afar, not exactly staring at Childe. Which brings more questions than answers.

"Then, tell me, why are you here?" A question meant to be taken lightly, but Aether gazed at Childe with piercing eyes.

Did Childe perhaps ask a dangerous question? What a strange flip.

"None of your business, even if it is, I doubt I'll trust a harbinger to know information about me"

"You wound me, comrade,"

"That's good to know" Aether sounds pissed at something. Although it triggers a mild curiosity in Childe's brain, to hell with his business. As long as it doesn't affect Childe's plans, he is willing to step aside and not hinder him with his presence. He would even be delighted if he hears Aether meddling with fatui's plans once again. Signora double crossed him for the geo gnosis.

Archons, how Childe wishes the harbinger get the same shit.

"Oh yeah, Xingqiu was selling a book earlier" Aether mindlessly muttered

"So what?"

"I say, it looks interesting. The title was 'Mr. Harbinger and I'" Childe almost laughed hearing the title "I was skimming through it earlier, here" The traveler tossed him a book with a........ ginger haired man trapping a black haired male with amber eyes against the wall.
