It might just be me thinking in a gruesome manner but wouldn't they have to cut off his belly button in order to exchange the gold for mora? Or... perhaps he simply gave luck to his village for being born.
[ lots to think about with this hyottoko folklore. ]
The way you bring it up sounds like you're the one who is more excited about the prospect of bedding me. It must be your silly pride that's holding you back, is it not?
[ don't the people of Schneznaya know what it's like to have fairy tales and folk tales!? or are theirs always this intense... ]
Or um. Maybe the belly button magically brought good fortune to his household every day, just by the virtue of existing! I imagine a belly button cut off would eventually shrivel up and be worthless without who it's attached to.
[ anyway, Childe is a liar, liar, pants on fire - ]
Hm. Not just my pride if you have to know. I can't bed just anyone, and we haven't even kissed yet. I don't know about you but I prefer to have a proper buildup to that sort of thing. Plus, tension can be fun if you know how to play it~
I suppose that would make the gold of a belly button useless if it shrivels up once it is detached from the body. I wonder if they were able to pass it down.
[ good thing Childe is a hydro user then. :) ]
I'm sure you're aware that I'm not just anyone so you can't use that sort of excuse on me. And kissing is for lovers, which we are not... But I can agree that a buildup is important. You would know if you had just given in.
[ he can absolutely hear Thoma pouting somehow... but Childe isn't going to fall for it!! not yet, not this soon anyway. thankfully he can't actually see the housekeeper, so Childe can hold a bit of resistance from giving in. ]
You won't know what I would do unless we go to bed together.
Nevertheless. This is a silly topic to have when you aren't even keen on sleeping with me.
[ let's change the topic now before Childe ends up saying something he'll regret. ]
Yeah, I'll meet you tomorrow! But just so you know... I am keen.
[ he's just scared, you know!! it's not every day he has to contemplate about sleeping with a Harbinger and what kind of consequences that might bring. ]

You don't plan to kiss me when we go to bed together?
