[ he murmurs, rolling his eyes and gazing out the window. childe manages to avoid snorting the moment zhongli asks if he trusts him. no. he barely knows him, and he's been burned before. he has no reason to trust him. the reverse is also true though. childe is a latent criminal that's made a real mess for inspectors and enforcers alike, so why the hell would zhongli trust him... would anybody trust him... ]

I have done nothing but sit still for years on end. I'm kind of over it. [ he gazes at him out of the corner of his eyes. ] But... I guess. [ he shrugs, facing forward and shifting in his seat until he's more comfortable. ] You did make me a promise, and I don't take those very lightly. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for me, Inspector.
