[ Childe stops short only because he's grabbed by the neck and thrown to the ground. Which, ah... hurt or not isn't the point but the air gets knocked from his lungs for a moment, leaving him unable to respond, although he does glare at Zhongli rather accusingly of something when he says his name like that. His teeth clench the longer Zhongli speaks, though, and he'll snap back angrily as soon as he can— ]
Save it, Alberich already pulled that card! There's nothing here that's important to me! Those shards are fake. [ he doesn't know that, of course, but that's what the Meridian is telling him, that those shards were just chaining him down to a side he doesn't belong on, anyway. So what if no one accepts him, it encourages? It will accept him even if the shard-bearers of its cause do not. he doesn't need any of them for the power to change things, anyway, isn't that right?
His discord isn't as bad as Zhongli's, but the nature of the meridian and the nature of the Abyss don't coexist very peacefully, both attempting to take control of feeding on his emotions the more volatile they become.
Oh, he can just go back? Childe could just spit right now, but why should he be surprised? ]
Ah, just gonna let me go back after everything? And here I thought maybe you actually missed me. [ What's the point of doing anything but remaining Meridian, then,of the person he wants to care about him the most doesn't care which side he's on. He growls and if Zhongli isn't going to get out of the way he's going to go try and violently shove him away so he can get up because fuck this. ]
