The younger ones are more open to befriending me, if anything! Maybe it's because they grew up with the pressure of the Vision Hunt Decree and developed a lot of curiosity about countries abroad? Didn't you get a lot of attention when you first arrived here with your blue eyes and red hair~?
If your siblings are anything like you, they're probably just as strong. But knowing that they have the support of their oldest brother goes such a long way, too. Take it from me, the kid who didn't get to have any siblings.
[ he gets a lot of attention wherever he goes actually, mostly thanks to his uniform and not from his looks alone. ]
Then that's good to know that you won't have to work so hard to charm them over. As for getting a lot of attention, well, I suppose I do but not a lot of people come up to me either.
[ mostly because they're intimidated... ]
Even if you do not have any siblings by blood, surely your relationship with the Kamisatos is a close bond that resembles such familiarity. At least that is what it seems like to me, as an outsider.
[ Thoma can relate to those who are intimidated... if he didn't have people like Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayato in his life, he definitely would've been way more intimidated. ]
That would make you much more perceptive than many. I do see them as my family, and I would do anything for them. Especially when I'm so lucky that they would do the same for me.
Would you ever let your siblings travel with you? I'd love to meet them one day!
If I were to find the time to travel for leisure, certainly I would! But, I'm afraid that won't be for a long while.
But who knows when Teucer, or Anthon, or Tonia might show up one day after getting a ride on a cargo ship to wherever I am. It happened recently with my youngest brother when I was back in Liyue — troublemaker, that one. But I must admit, it was very good to see him again.
Teucer did that!? Haha, it really sounds like he has your spirit. Isn't that something you'd also do if you were younger, Childe? He certainly sounds like someone who doesn't let anything stop him...I'm glad he made it to you safely though.
You think so? Maybe we can all play the hotpot game one day! If you don't know what the hotpot game is, you go around and add the weirdest ingredients and the next person has to guess what it was.
Ah, well, maybe. Although I can say that I haven't trailed after my older siblings, so perhaps he is a lot more spritely than me.
The hotpot game? Sounds interesting... Did you come up with this game yourself? What's the weirdest ingredient you've ever had to taste during the game?
Wait, you have older siblings?! I thought they were all younger! Did they spoil you as much as you spoil the little ones?
Ah, no, it wasn't my idea! I wish I could say that it was, because it's always so much fun, but it was introduced to me when I first got here. Weirdest... can go either way! Would you say slime condensate in a hotpot is weirder or actual cake?
Ahaha~ There are 2 of them, in fact. They used to, which is probably where I acquired the tendency to spoil my younger siblings.
I can't... even begin to imagine what that hotpot might taste like with either of those ingredients. Have you ever puked from having to eat something so strange during the game?
Aw, that makes me strangely happy. You deserve to be spoiled too, after all.
I've gotten sick, but I haven't puked.... yet! It's a matter of pride, you see. If I don't keep it all down, I feel like I've lost somehow. Don't ask me why! I can be fiercely competitive when it comes to food~ Think you can handle playing the hot pot game with me?
Maybe not now, but as a child! You must've been an adorable child, given how cute you are now.♪
And very well! I'll see when the next best opening for a game of hot pot might be. It's the best with at least three or four people, so I might invite my lord and lady to play with us as well~
I think you're the only person in the whole of Teyvat who would think to call me cute.
[ because no one else would dare say it. other than his own mother, probably. ]
Oh, then I shall be on my best behavior for when we all get to play together. I can only hope that I won't be ganged up on when that day comes~ Not saying that I can't take you three on my own, but I am new to your game, after all.
As long as you know I mean it as a compliment! I like the thought of being the only person to call you something, too.
Ah, not to worry! My lady will be kind, but I can't make any promises about my lord... he's a little like you, but in a far more devious, pleasant way. Does that make sense?
When I was little, I had a puppy crush on him, yeah. But there's nothing like that now! He's like family to me. I haven't had feelings for anyone for a long time until now.
And you? Am I competing for your affections unknowingly?
But what I'm trying to say is the cute expression you're wearing should be reserved for me~ You can't go showing it around to everyone. They might think it's for them.

But I suppose the most I can ask for is... just remember that there's someone out there, besides your family, who's waiting for you.
