[ Childe's attention snaps from Zhongli to Set as soon as Zhongli changes his aattention to the newest arrival. Dark eyes stare him down, but there's no hint of relief or annoyance in response to someone answering his cry for help. In fact, the blank expression is almost disturbing considering the emotional torrent in his call that had brought the red-haired war god here to be begin with.

That doesn't stop Childe's lips from curling upwards, though. Who wouldn't be delighted to know someone finds them important enough that they would come specifically for them? It's not quite the same, but it still has him recall the time Zhongli came back for him in this place, too.

How lucky Childe is to have to such fascinating entities straying from the path of the many to focus on him and his well-being, even if just for a little while! ]

...Oh~? You not only heard me, but you even really came for me. I'm truly touched. I called for help... but not for me.

[ The last word is practically hissed out as he turns back to Zhongli, hydro blades forming midair for him to curl his hands around them. ]
