[he looks around at the group]

.... wow. Brings back memories.

[of medbay curfew? he hasn’t been with this group since then! it’s been like. a month]

. . . Oh.

[Wow. This really is the same group, isn't it.]

From after we were stuck in that place, when we were all healing in there. Other than Childe, who I don't remember any of us having invited in the first instance.

[nods

and then pretty honestly]

This version's an improvement, if you ask me.

[tell us how you really feel, mineo]

[She's amused.]

I should hope so?

[cheerfully]

Oh yeah, by far. None of you are hurt this time and that guy isn't here.

[a beat]

Someone's watching him, right?

I'm not sure there would be any point. They'd just pass out at curfew.

I.... I guess...

[ . . . ]

I think most of our guards are.... somewhere else...?

[he looks like he's straining to remember who all volunteered]

But if the door's locked that means something's happening tonight...

I'm not suggesting leaving Childe to his own devices is a good thing, only that guards aren't the most effective way to stop him.

But I think the hubris power will work.

[nods.... he's still a little anxious - there's a sort of cautious emotion coming from him, but even that's more on the calm side as far as mineo's emotions go]

I'll hope so. [a glance to the roses] Guess we'll just deal with this... ominous and pretty hint.

[She's worried, too, but not to any particularly intense degree.]

It is rather nice, isn't it?

Yeah, in that goth kinda way?

[he pauses and looks to harrow and

the only emotion he feels is like something clicking into place]

... yeah. Makes sense.

That I like "goth" things? I never did get a satisfactory explanation from Eleanor.

Yeah! Though it's not something I know a whole lot about...

[he'll own that because he's a dumb jock. he never would've been invited to sit at harrow's table in the cafeteria]

It's like... kinda macabre stuff? But pretty? Bones, skulls, blood, dark colors....
