[Childe's been having ideas since before he even scooped Aether up in the first place, the fingers that brush his face feeling like lines of heat across it. He smirks back down at the traveler, flashing him a toothy grin as he makes his way to their bedroom, enjoying the idea of playing their roles as royals in opposite courts for the night. He just wonders if Aether would also enjoy something like that, as he swings into their room to set his lover down on the bed, letting him sit on the edge as he puts him down.]

That's right, and it won't be long until I've staked my claim on you and weakened your precious day court. No one will come to save you, hahaha. . You've made the right choice to submit to me.

[Childe's hand comes up under Aether's chin, holding it between his finger and thumb as he pretends to inspect his face, enjoying playing the role of the evil Night King here to take Aether away and "imprison" him. The Harbinger leans over to place his mouth close to Aether's ear, speaking softly into it with a devious tone of voice that can only spell chaos for the two of them.]

Now, how shall I take my first bite...hm.

[His breath is hot on his lover's ear, taking the lobe into his mouth and nibbling on it lightly, light tugs teasing the skin before he lets go and pulls away to admire Aether once again.]
