[He should go back to thots... that is my opinion... me, pixi. I think Essek could get swingo.

WHAT IS THERE A GRAY MOUND. WHAT IS THAT. The temptation to goad Essek into knocking him on his ass without hesitation is so incredibly strong, but Childe is shockingly responsible when it comes to new opponents, so...]


Show me first, but go all out after.

Okay 90% of the time he does not make the innuendo jokes even if he notices they are there, but just this once, since it's the day after thots party, he can't resist--]


So you need to work on your stamina?

[The funny thing about training under a woman who can open up abyssal rifts is... you get pretty good at dodging things that strongly resemble abyssal rifts! There are differences, of course, and it's Childe's turn to be enthralled by them, but he's no longer the starry-eyed teenager caught up in the wonders of limitless possibility. With even a false version of his power back, his body moves almost on its own--there's a spark of purple lightning in his eyes before he dodges with practically inhuman speed.

Still, this is the first time he's seeing Essek's power, so there is, of course, no way for him to know exactly how far he needs to dodge. But you know what solves that problem? Being a ranged fighter also! Damn, that's just not fair.

He doesn't have a ton of time, probably, so his aim certainly isn't perfect, but it's enough for him to summon a Hydro bow and fire in Essek's direction, not so much aiming to actually harm him (which he couldn't do anyway), but to break his concentration.]

[Yeah that's what he thought you'd do, CATALYST USER.

In a real battle, he wouldn't let up on the onslaught, naturally--but it's no fun to spar if he only gets a tiny glimpse of what Essek can do, so he lets him flee, the water in his hand melting seamlessly into a double-ended spear.]


That's why you do shields first, Thelyss!

[I'M SORRY... HE LOVES TO TAUNT WHEN HE'S NOT FIGHTING AT FULL STRENGTH... at least his tone is playful and not rudely mocking, though he's still light on his feet, ready to dodge whatever Essek throws at him next.]

Ahaha!

[YOU ARE TOO EASY TO TEASE LITTLE MAN

He is fast and dangerous with this spear, but fortunately, he's not in the mood to end this so easily. Instead of going for the easy twink target again, he prowls to the side, watching the sphere with sharp eyes. Presumably, he cannot stab shadows, but maybe he will try...]

[I DON'T LIKE THE TERM "PULSES WITH GROWTH"

Hatefully, he is delighted by the way the spear vanishes from his hand--this is exactly why he was not put off by Essek being a squishy mage. UNFORTUNATELY... HE KNOWS WHAT MAGES ARE CAPABLE OF AT FULL POWER... which this isn't, he's sure, but neither is he, so that's fine.

Essek may like to float, but can he fly? It is not fair in the slightest, but Childe can; once again, there's a flash of lighting before he dodges the missiles, leaping into the air. Like the first part of this clip, except he doesn't have his mask on his face and he doesn't do his magical girl monster transformation. Instead, he summons up another bow--Electro, this time--and shoots at the missiles, testing to see if they can be knocked aside or not.]

[LMFKSDJGHKSGJ NOT THE MONSTERFUCKER JUMPING OUT

And he's right, Childe is feeling eager and invigorated, but he also... wants to show off a little... just a little. So, playfully--]


What happened to not taking it easy on me? Do your worst.

[NOT THE SPAGHETTIFICATION

Well, normally he would save this for emergencies, but since it is Simulations, he doesn't have to worry about any true damage or side effects. Plus, it doesn't really matter if Essek knows what all he can do, seeing as Essek is not from his world and Childe can't use these powers outside of this room anyway...

ALL THIS TO SAY, he and the missiles hit the same spot at the same time--but when the false dust clears, Childe is no longer standing there as himself. Instead, he is transformed, a huge hole in the ground from where he braced his landing with his... WHATEVER THE HELL THIS WEAPON IS idk. Blue light ripples across the ground, the glow even more spooky in the purple light of the fake Abyss.

When he laughs, it is distorted--still very much Childe-like laughter, but a very different voice. If he's in pain, he doesn't show it.]


Impressive! But there's nowhere to run.

[Get whale'd]
toyska: (You get everything you want)

[YOU'RE SO FUNNY

Anyway Childe likes Essek enough to be nice to him, so after he is a butthead like this he will adjust the Sim Room controls to make the whale vanish and snap back to his usual self, as if it never happened. No harm done!

He grins brightly, though, looking delighted. There is the briefest glimpse of thought, a can-- before he hops back out of thoughtshare range.]


A fine match! I understand you a lot better now.

[Don't worry about it

He could be nice and come help him up, but he does not. Instead, he summons a small Hydro fish, which he sends over to swim in a little circle around Essek before it disappears with a splash. It doesn't heal him or anything, it is just there to be cute. Or annoying. Both?]


Of course. How a person behaves on the battlefield says more about them than words ever could.
