[Childe just rolls with a lot of things, honestly. He's an adaptable guy. Comes with the water symbolism. Would he out anybody who told him they'd killed? It's truly a mystery.
He also very much approves of Law clearly understanding that there's more going on than what they're being shown. PLEASE. HIS TINHATTING. IT'S SO STRONG AND HE JUST GETS YELLED AT FOR IT.]
Personally, I have no interest in the weak. [So if Childe does ever decide to make a move, it won't be, like. Aoi. Unless she's secretly extremely strong and violent, which he is not discounting.] But quite a few of them are well-liked, so I think you're right to choose carefully. [He has a few ideas of who Law might be considering, but like. They are in the kitchen. So he won't just spit them out in the middle of the room.
He grins, though, taking another bite of his food.] Though I doubt anyone would mourn Vlad, I'll tell you that much.
[ it is a complete mystery but law is making it less so of a mystery of what his intentions are. he's also very glad that childe hasn't turned it around with a questioning look about the mentioning of "other things happening" here.
finally. finally... two for two. though it's his turn to laugh when childe brings up vlad's name because wow! w o w. ]
The man digs himself his own grave if you look at how the voting goes. [ second place again..... ] There was a robot who would go on and on about killing us but he still manages to come second to that.
[ a moment for law to bring out his phone to check out the profiles and review people's skills. ]
His profile doesn't prove to have anything particularly useful in a grand scheme of things.
I don't know how he still has any feet to stand on, with how many he puts in his mouth.
[Childe is generally a nice guy, and he doesn't have any personal feelings about Vlad, but like. Yeah. Much like Grell, the guy is just asking for it at this point. Childe was the only suspicious person at trial and he didn't even make top two, what does that tell you about Vlad, huh.
He gestures to the phone with his spoon, careful not to make a mess.]
Those don't always paint a full picture. But I'm sure if you asked him to extol his own virtues, he'd be more than happy to do so.
[It wouldn't be that hard to get Vlad to brag about any skills that might be unlisted, he thinks...]
[ childe stop being actually terrible but wonderful at the same time?? because law will have himself a brief laugh with that. because oh boy ain't it the truth??? then his face drops at the suggestion. ]
I don't need him to talk about himself more than he already will, but even if these don't paint the full picture they paint a good enough picture.
[ how is it that law is the only member on pride who isn't good at talking about themselves or monologuing?? honestly. it's like three gremlins and the one straight man. er. "straight man"??? ]
Targeting Vlad almost feels like shooting a lame animal. It's already half dead.
[He snorts with laughter, tilting his head to concede the point.]
I suppose you're right that he wouldn't really count as "middle of the road".
[Unless he's secretly hiding some amazing fighting abilities?! But Childe is kind of halfway hoping that everyone here is secretly an amazing fighter, purely for his own entertainment. He hums thoughtfully, leaning back.]
That roommate of yours, have you spoken to him about any of this? I don't know him all that well.
[With how often he's going around barking orders, he might be a little too straight-laced for these discussions... but Childe tries not to make too many assumptions.]
[ prayer hands that someone kills vlad in the coming week or they're all just keep having to suffer with the chad. ]
I speak to him about what's going on, but I doubt he's someone who would see things our way. [ law pauses for a moment to go back to udon for a moment. just finishing up the last bits. ] He's taking the more noble route.
[ did you know i really hate playing law, actually? either way, this is what he means about in appropriate company. there are certainly some people who are on the same wave length as law in this matter and then there are those which he plays along with.
nasty bad man. ]
He is interested in figuring out what's working behind the scenes, though.
Mm. Looking for the fine print in the contract is all well and good, but I'd rather tear the paper to shreds.
[The Avatars can say what they like, but at the end of the day, Childe plays by his own rules.
He taps the spoon against the bowl a few times, looking thoughtful.]
How about this--think it over, while we see what farce of a competition they've arranged this time. [The execution, he means.] When you've got a few ideas, run them by me, and I'll let you know if there's anything I've got to help you out.
[Just casually offers to help with murder in the kitchen I guess. This is fine. He grins, then, winking.]
Provided I'm not on that list just yet, of course.
[ he'd mention about how there is actually no fine print for their "contract" but then again they were playing with "old information" which he still hasn't gone back and followed up on. but this is fine; completely fine. honestly this is like the most ideal and opportune chance meeting. ]
You're not on my list. [ he'll throw that out there. an assurance in an exchange for another one...? ] If you do draft up a list, I hope the same is true for me.
[ law says it with less of a wink but with more of a purpose, lightly still all things considered. ]
