[That disbelief... hurts, a little. He would hope by now that Childe realized as much, with how much closer they've grown here.

You underestimate the force of personality you carry, I think. You are... passionate, and full of life. You are a very magnetic person in many ways, and I would be surprised if you have not heard as such from others. [His smile is soft and fond as he says this. For all his wild proclivities, Childe was charismatic and a good friend. It was rather surprising he seemed to doubt it, really.]

Even living among humans, I am often considered eccentric. And as the Geo Archon... well, it is exceedingly rare that one would speak to me as an equal once knowing my full identity.

[There's something a little... lonely, in how he says that last part.]
