[Fair and valid. Childe nods, partly just in acknowledgment, and partly in response to the question.]
If everything works out--yes, of course. I have a few things to take care of first, but after that I'll be on the first ship home.
[Childe never mentioned the circumstances of his death to anyone, and he certainly isn't going to do it now--but like Lu Bixing, he's glad for the chance to tackle it a second time with foresight, and he doesn't anticipate it ending poorly twice.]
If I'm lucky, I'll make it in time for Teucer's birthday. Maybe I should bring him something from here?
[ bixing brightens as he's munching on his sandwich, and nods, immediately!!! cute!!!! ]
Yes, yes, you definitely should! Where else can you get a souvenir like one from hell, right? There's got to be something cool here you couldn't find anywhere else. Do you have anything in mind?
Hmmm, I'm not sure. He likes just about everything... his favorites are dismantled war machines that I bring home, but I don't know if I could find that here. [SOMETIMES... you lie to your kid brother and say that the murder robots are called Mr. Cyclopses.] But he'd be happy with something more normal, too. I think he just likes to see pieces of the places I travel.
