#Or he just fights things he know will accept the fight like the treasure horders in his trailer

[ironunderstands]

All of the instances I can remember Mr. “I love fighting so much” Childe shooting himself in the foot and actually delaying or even preventing a fight

-in his teaser where he only attacks the guy with the sigil after he sends guards to attack Childe first

-in his story quest where he tries to reason with the treasure horders to just hand over the money before being interrupted by Teucer (he didn’t know Teucer was there either

-“even I don’t think this is the time or place for a fight” in the Winter Nights Lazzo trailer, yes Childe is smart enough to know that causing a fight there would be a bad idea, but you think he would at least join in on the banter like the rest of the harbingers

-letting neuvillette do his whole trial bullshit before fighting him when he’s declared guilty, he wasn’t even unwarrentedly mean about the whole process either. Also when he does fight, it’s literally only to kill the gardemeks and leave, he doesn’t have any intention of fighting Neuvi or Furina unless they get in his way

-In the labriynth warriors event, he groups up with the Traveler, Xinyan and Shiki Taishou which is understandable, but he’s not rude or impatient when plot happens, and although he does run off to kill things he does also ask their permission sometimes:

like Childe you don’t have to create a whole speech from your ass just go ahead and kill things, “burden of slaughter, I will happily take your place” bs isn’t necessary

I don’t know what the conclusion of this is other than our contradictory king is back at it again, doing shit that goes against what he says about himself
