[As the way is revealed, Childe starts confidently striding up the path, knowing already that it won't be long before they run into their target. So now's a good of a time as ever to get caught up, seeing how he hasn't had the chance to see Eli in a few months now.]

Oh, only the usual of course- experiencing strange and unforeseen events thanks to the meddling of our captors, being mind-controlled by them, and getting the opportunity to challenge quite a few of our stronger warriors as a result. All in all, I think it's been a pretty eventful last few months for me.

[There's no bitterness in his tone of voice despite the facts, if anything, it's more unsurprised. Like of course that would happen, but he made the best of it regardless.]

Oh! And I also got to try on a variety of dresses too. Seems the boutiques in the area really think I'm suited for formal wedding ware. I think they need to really focus on fixing the design of dresses...you can't fight properly in them at all.

[Because that was his focus on it at the time...]

What about you? Got any exciting stories I shouldn't be missing out on?

[viciousabyss]

What the fuck? Mind control?

[Eli didn't experience any of this mind-control, so that's alarming.

He does laugh a little at Childe's main issue with dresses being their impracticality for fighting.]

That's fun, I'd like to see you in a dress... I had fun with the wedding wear as well. No dresses for me though.

[Gag. That would be dysphoria central for Eli, but he fully supports other guys fucking with gender.]

Ah... Not really. Mostly just lost one of my partners, Bricks.

SORRY I GOT EATEN ALIVE BY MONSTER HUNTER

[His cheery mood turns a bit more serious at that revelation. Tartaglia doesn't know if "lost" here means died, or the worst thing happened- that Bricks lost their battle to their Natural Soul and is now just a feral shell. It's not a happy outcome either way, so his expression softens with empathy.]

Ah, I didn't know. My apologies...I hope the worst scenario was avoided.

[He skips over a few rocks as they make their way forward, not stopping regardless- that Katalyth needs to be taken care of and maybe the task at hand will be a welcome distraction from the memory that Childe's unintentionally brought back up.]

Have you been alright?
