"Aw! Childe looks so cute in that!" Paimon squeaks, complimenting Childe for pulling it off. Aether on the other hand was trying not to die of laughter as he tied the bow on the back of the dress for Childe. Zhongli on the other hand was spacing out...seemingly thinking of something.

"You're right, Paimon. Who knew the 11th Fatui Harbinger would look this good in a dress?" Aether teased. "Anyway, tada! Its done, do you atleast like it, Childe?"

"...I guess." You mumbled, a bit annoyed that you where being treated like a doll but you couldnt lie, you did look good in that dress.

After a bit more teasing from Aether and Paimon, they both bid their goodbyes to Childe and Zhongli to go visit Xiao (most likely to make him their next victim).

Childe decided to stay in the maid dress for a bit longer, just for fun since there was no one around to look at him weird. But... Zhongli was acting weird, everytime Childe turned around Zhongli's gaze would go...down, down to the short skirt of the dress. Childe didnt really mind, but it did creep him out how quiet and out of it Zhongli seemed.

After a while though, Childe was just kind of looking at the sunset, admiring it. Then Zhongli had randomly summoned one of his pillars right underneath Childe's feet, lifting him up a few feet; Childe didnt see anything wrong though. If anything he enjoyed it since he could even see Liyue Harbor in the distance. Zhongli though...? He wasnt looking at Childe's face or even litsening to him, but he was looking up. Looking up at Childe, up the short skirt. Before mumbling something.

"...its pink..." Zhongli mumbled under his breath, it wouldnt have been weird if Childe was wearing shorts under the dress though... But fortunately for Zhongli, his question was answered.
