Zhongli: "did... did you nearly just call me and Childe.. dad..?" He asked. Looking a bit confused yet amused.

Childe: Chuckles happily. "So, I'm a father figure! Does that mean I can call you 'Son'" He seemed very giddy about the situation. And booped you on the nose with a smile.

Zhongli: "Childe, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We aren't sure if he actually meant to call us Dad or not."

Childe: "ohh.." He seemed a bit disappointed. But was still waiting for you're response.
