Summary
Aether invites Childe to rest inside the Realm Within until his injuries from Foul Legacy heal while Zhongli is taking residence within as well. Still sore about the former Geo Archon's deception, Childe decides they have a debt to settle, and things only go awry from there.
They hadn’t spoken since the day the Geo Archon’s gnosis traded hands.
Signora’s deception had been something Childe’d come to expect from his fellow Harbingers. They were creatures of calculation, happiest enough to simper and smile and play the role of the ordinary Snezhneyan diplomat whilst whetting a knife in preparation for an inevitable backstabbing. It’d been mostly unsurprising to find her usurping his would-be victory in Liyue, snatching Morax’s gnosis right out from under his nose.
Zhongli’s lie, on the other hand. Now that had come as a shock.
It wasn’t that Childe held a grudge. He wasn’t one to hold them. But he was one to settle debts, and he felt strongly that there was such a debt to be settled here, one not so easily forgiven even with his and Signora’s departure from Liyue with their quarry in hand.
