[ What he sees, is Zhongli in the room. While he has come to acknowledge that some aspect of the other divinity truly cares for Childe, and aims to keep him safe, there is still such a deep schism between the two that Set cannot help but meddle in their affairs. Either that chasm will deepen, or they will find a way to connect with one another; for their sake, he honestly hopes that it is the latter. To be alone among either faction is to invite corruption of one's self, which in turn could breed zealotry. ]
Did they get fed up with waiting around and kidnap yo— haa?
[ The words are accusatory, but abort into a dry, incredulous sound as Childe lunges right for Zhongli with his weapons drawn. It's wild, feral of him — the part of this young man that Set had wanted to nurture in the caverns below, and had used to literally beat the Meridian energy into him. His eyes widen, pupils thinning into dark slits as he half-steps forth, hands extended as if to stop Childe from assaulting the man he cares for,
before drawing back. You know what? Good for him. ]
Maybe you should start by calling him by his name, Zhongli. You keep such defenses between the two of you, it seems like you really do not care at all to connect with him outside of formality and professional boundaries.
[ Yes, he is going to lecture the other god, even if the two before him end up in a fight. Set even steps back a pace, and examines his claws briefly while the two potentially get into it. No need to stop anything! If someone dies, they die! ]
Childe, you were crying and yelling for help — I do not care if you are Meridian or Zenith by your choice, of course I would come for you. Now! Would either of you explain what is going on?
