Ahaha, it's a weird one, too! [ Very silly, immature in all regards. ] I like the questions I get.
[ If he's a child, if he wants others to dote on him, if he's just some freak of nature who asks people to call him that, merely to take the plunge— he's heard it all before, and it's nice and disarming as a conversation starter. Rather than going around as a harbinger of fear and disconsolation all the time, Childe takes great pleasure in being less than dour, especially when his coworkers are fond of plotting and scheming on an ever-grander scale. ]
My father would often tell me of your exploits, among other things. I was quite fond of hearing about them. He painted you as a heroic figure!
[ It's part of the reason he was led down, and gone astray, lured into the Abyss upon the promise of chivalry and untold depths. Now, he knows for certain that there's no gloriousness in death, and what awaits at the very end is total insanity. But that's all on Childe, in the end. There's no one else to blame. ]
... I never heard the end of your tale. Because you're still living it, I suppose. [ Even bashed in, Childe can't disguise his own interest, smiling under his own contusions. Thanks for that, mister. ] Seems this place is full of mysteries. It's an honor! You'll have to tell me the rest sometime.
[ Gotta see how well the myth lines up with the legend himself. ]
For now, I'll let you off the hook. You'll be looking into getting treated, right? [ Look, they're both battered right now. Give it a week for the reunion, when Childe's going to be smacked in the face with 500 cat effects for some reason. ] So I'll be seeing you, Achilles. Take care.
