[ listen he's a strong independent fatui he don't need no man
but if Zhongli expected him to be drunk enough not to notice that little gesture he has another thing coming. The reaction that follows after is certainly troubling, the Harbinger's jaw tightening a little before he focuses his attention on what he's got in his hands. ]
I'm almost insulted you think me the sort of person that would stumble around the city drunk. [ Childe could care less about the bellyaching of the weak, but opening himself to attack with dulled sensibilities - nevermind the confidence he had that he would win every single street brawl he got into, because there was no one in Liyue sans the man standing nearby that could hold a candle to him - was not something he did often, if at all.
The comment gets a short little laugh from him and he shakes his head before turning to face Zhongli with a hand on his hip and a critical eye. ]
If you wanted to leave, you know I would have let you. You don't have to tell me where you were going. I doubt there'd be anyone here that could catch the great Rex Lapis off his guard. [ A quick glance down to the docks tells him he's still got a bit of time. The merchant in question hasn't yet started packing up his wares, too busy engaging in conversation with the pretty florist from the pier. ]
These aren't for me. [ Is all he offers, before looking back. ] The pharmacist? Did I rough you up that badly?
