[Thankfully, Childe is a tall man. And he takes full advantage of that, slipping back into the water, not caring to take anything off. He's soaked anyhow, and maybe this will get the mud off of him too. Childe wades in, the water coming up to his shoulders in spots, towards where he saw the fish, until he completely disappears under the water.
The fish has the advantage. He's going to have the time of his life trying to catch it, but he has a tactical advantage of not having an animal brain, even if it seems the fish is capable of taunting him.
It swims away, and the knight grins inwardly to himself, swimming as fast as he can and rounding to push the fish closer to the shore in an area he knows comes to a walled off corner where it would be hard to get out of if he managed to get right on top of it. He only comes up for air, going back under and chasing it until he finally managed to herd it into said corner.
A giant splash erupts from the pond, several minutes later, and it almost seems as if...Childe is wrestling with the fish.
It's slippery and he's trying to hold it in his arms, somehow. It would be funny if it weren't so ridiculous, and finally the knight manages to grab a knife from his boot and stabs it into the fish, blood staining the water red.
He stands, exhausted, looking to Aether. It took...way longer than it should have, meaning he shouldn't of tried at all, but he did it.]
