[ Childe's eyes go wide at that. He takes most things in stride, and this isn't really an exception, but he's surprised by it. This is absolutely not the attitude he would have expected from Basch. If Basch didn't already have his full attention, he'd have it now.
But Childe also isn't an idiot. He knows how this place works — the suits, dosing their food, the whole thing. It pushes the lines of consent in ways that he doesn't always love, but surely the resort couldn't make someone fake enthusiasm.
He has a feeling Basch might be embarrassed about this later. He weighs how he wants to respond for a second, but only a second. ]
Right here? I mean…I'm not opposed, but I'd much rather have you all to myself somewhere private.
[ This is off for Childe, who doesn't really bother suggesting privacy for his own sake. But there's something in him that not only wants Basch's attention, but doesn't want to share that attention. Unfortunately, his awareness of how things work in this place doesn't exempt him from things like this. Self-awareness? Not today! ]
