( Lumine does notice; it's almost strange to witness this much more quieter and almost opposite side of him. No natural confidence exuding from him. Almost like he was feeling nerves and she was bearing witness to it. It was genuinely quite charming other than the fact that they had never been in this situation before together.
But there'd be no teasing, in fact thinking it was something important for cause of such a long pause and lack of confidence. Not wanting to lose such an important moment that was making her feel slightly nervous. )
That definitely sounds familiar. ( It was the same reason he refused to say goodbye to his little brother back in Liyue. He didn't want her last memory of him be him weakened and coughing up a full lung. ) You don't have to worry about that, Childe.
( She would remember his weakened state as not a downside, but as a result of his bravery and strength to be in a constant, continuous fight with the narwhal.
Lumine won't lie, she was ready to flinch her hand away from him, but he did it so slowly and gently. Looking down at their joint hands now and she had to fight every fiber of her body not to combust into flames or snatch her hand away. However her tips of her ears felt burning hot as she looked back up at him, away from their hands.
Her smaller hand returning the hold on his and she was tempted to let go, that this could complicate a lot for each other later. She needed to let go and stand, get away from him, push these feelings so far back in her heart. But maybe she too wanted to be a bit selfish for once.
She'd just turn her face away to calm her heart, looking back out at the sea, or the city, or the creatures. Something other than this build up she was beginning to feel. )
