Lavi perks up once it's clear that this memory isn't traumatic or full of Fatui secrets, watching with interest as Childe and Zhongli exhibit gay behavior, jk. Once it ends, he looks from the blank screen to Childe....]
But since Childe is mostly (mostly) over Liyue, he just looks a little confused as to why this is the memory that played, since it's hardly a significant moment. He shakes his head slightly when it ends.]
That one? [Hmmm.] I'm not sure, that was a while ago. Maybe... 50,000? A little more?
A guy who always pays for stuff for a specific person, and also -- Jingheng said they also kill people for that person? But Bixing told me that wasn't true...
[HE SOUNDS DOUBTFUL THOUGH, a sugar daddy is just a guy who pays for stuff and also kills people ig]
[Chandra kissed him during party games and Childe was surprised because he didn't think Chandra would participate... I am only telling you this because Childe will never mention it, rip.
But also, he just kind of. Opens his mouth and closes it again. He would have a good and normal answer for this if he wasn't stuck on Lavi so casually being like "hey were you and this guy in love"]
...It's complicated. [It's not that complicated.] But that-- [he waves a hand at the screen] was--just part of the mission. That's all. [It was only like 70% for the mission.]
[because he does! he understands being friendly for the mission, and he thinks Childe is probably at maintaining the line than he is.
but he knows that maintaining the line can be difficult, and however great Childe is -- however good a Bookman can be, there's always the possibility of gay i mean a connection slipping through.]
Can I ask what kind of mission it is? Or is that a secret?
[The chances of being hit by gay feelings when you're devoted to your mission are low........ but never zero]
It's the one you and Four were sent on--the same one those sigils were for. [Which is still kind of classified, even if it's over... but Lavi's earned at least a little bit of explanation.] Essentially, he's the god of Liyue, and he... signed a contract with the Tsaritsa. I was there to help fulfill the terms.
[They should be his exact thoughts (no) (maybe) (we know it to be true)]
He's an Adeptus. They can change forms--at least, he can. [He shrugs, like it's not that weird for gods to be able to do whatever the fck they want.] I mostly only knew him as Zhongli--the man you saw there. That's what he goes by as a human.
He's not normal. [The audacity of Childe to say this] But he does like to play at being human, so it's difficult to spot if you don't know what you're looking for.
[Or maybe Childe just likes to make himself feel better about it. Whatever. Lavi will never know, it's fine.]

Wait, so... he's the guy who appears during the Rite of Descension? Isn't he supposed to be a dragon? Or is that his true form?

Huh... He seems so normal. [well] Compared to the gods I've met here, at least.
