The silence is indeed awkward, but he can't really complain when he's the one who did it. He's about to just get up and go get them refills, maybe some alcohol to ease the tension, but Essek speaks up again before he can, and.
Well. He may not prioritize romance in his life, but he's not really the type to hesitate when he does have something he wants. And the closer they get to the end, the more he finds himself wanting to indulge in the last of their time together. So--with permission granted, he'll lean in to kiss him again--softly again, but slow and lingering. He had some vague idea of proposing exploration of the rest of the island after they warmed up and rested, but now he's just going to want to do this until they decide to bundle up and leave.]
[Oh. He was not sure if Childe would reciprocate despite the entire fact Childe was the one to almost do it from the start. Can't begin to explain how stupid he is about this whole situation based off a single few logical sentences.
As Childe comes in, he puts his drink down out of the way behind him without looking, freeing his hand so he can bring it up to rest against Childe's cheek. He's careful, like he's afraid Childe might reconsider things. (Equally as insane of a take.) He doesn't pull away for a long time, and even when he does, it's only a hilarious amount of inches. Not a single care for whether or not they go back out into the cold, he will take staying and making out with Childe Genshin over it.
