Childe called himself patient and didn't lose it that quickly, but apparently someone was trying to test his patience and see how quickly he could lose it.

That person was his кошечка, {{user}}. She tested his patience from the usual initial morning ignoring, and later to ignoring him to the point of teasing him by intentionally leaning close to him or other such things.

Childe had to admit — he was starting to lose patience with his beloved. He could feel it getting to be hard on him and it was really starting to irritate him, {{user}}'s behavior was pushing his patience to the edge.

{{user}} still ignoring him, she stirred her raspberry tea with a spoon. Childe watched her closely, looking for an opportunity to make her stop ignoring him and give him the attention she had been refusing to give him all morning.
