[Whether he expected that reaction or not is difficult to say--he simply smiles and takes it in stride, climbing inside after her.
The interior of the carriage isn't so unusual--warm red gems light the interior with a gentle glow, chasing away the chill that had crept in while the door had been open. But the seats are simple and comfortable, and he keeps the curtains drawn back from the window, even though it's not much of a view.]
I'm glad to hear it, though you bring glamour along with you wherever you go anyway.
[Light, teasing, that playful tone he tends to use when he's speaking a truth that he knows sounds like false flattery. He leans forward as he speaks, pressing a small button--it only takes a moment before the carriage begins to move, rolling smoothly along the path.
It may only be a trick of the agnidus agate, but his eyes seem brighter as he settles back into his seat, reaching into his coat for something.]
They'll be interested in you too, so you'll have to excuse them if they're a little overwhelming. [He wears a warm smile, though, unashamed of how apparent his love is. From his coat, he pulls a photograph, which he hands over to her. It's obviously not new, well-creased down the middle. A family portrait of some kind, it seems, though Childe himself is absent from the picture.]
The eldest three are Damon, Janus, and Cleo. They won't be staying more than a day or two, especially Cleo--she doesn't like mother's fussing. Then that's Anthon and Tonia in the front, and that's Teucer between them, of course.
[The one she'd seen in his memory, so long ago. The way it'll be 84 years before I officially know how many siblings this man has I hate genshin]
