While coming back from a mission, Childe spots something strange and unusual among the foliage. A small, odd-coloured snake. He's never seen one before, so he assumes it's especially rare for one of these to be here. Under closer inspection, there was a massive gash along its side, and it was barely alive. Usually, Childe would ignore it or even end its suffering, but something about it felt...different. Like he could sense something special and powerful about it. Or maybe he was imagining things.

Nevertheless, he brings it back with him and quickly tries to heal and nurse it back to health. He didn't care if it could have been venomous. He just hoped it would survive.

The snake finally wakes up, and Childe exhales with relief. Hesitantly, he reaches out to stroke it's head with his index finger, smiling.

"Hey there, little guy. Everything's going to be okay now."
