[Dying is definitely not on his to-do list today! Once they're in the open, Rui steels himself, and turns around, dropping the drone onto the grass. He channels the wind to start circling around the swarm. It takes a couple tries to get all the wasps in, but he works fast enough that none of them get the chance to sting either of them. Once they're all in the sphere of wind he's whipped up, he does his best to make that circle as small as possible and still hold them all.]
[He's definitely got to give it to Rui- he was almost certain that he was on the verge of getting caught by a wasp, but the wind picks up and swirls all of the pests into one vortex, essentially locking them in place for the Harbinger to target with ease. Childe turns, grins devilishly now that they've got no where to go, and releases both water and ice from his hands at the same time.
Every single wasp in that sphere gets frozen over, little wasp-shaped icicles that gleam in the sunlight.]
Heh.
[He takes a moment to admire his work, pleased with himself, before shooting a glance over to his companion.]
They won't stay like that for long, so it's best we beat it out of here before they rouse from their temporary slumber. But it should buy us enough time to escape.
[Rui looks at their odd ice sculpture for a moment, until Tartaglia's voice snaps him out of it. He grabs his drone again. It'll probably need some repairs from hitting the ground twice, but he can worry about specifics later.]
Yeah, Let's go.
[He doesn't need to be told twice to escape to start jogging away. They're a safe distance away when Rui slows down and chuckles breathlessly.]
Well, that was a bit more exciting than I had planned for this to be!
[He's been listening intently while they run for the sound of any buzzing, but he doesn't hear it. That frozen state they were in would likely keep them groggy as they melt out of it, so they can go terrorize someone else trying to collect pollen. He's sorry to the next poor sap that comes across their path- he's sure they won't be happy when they wake up.
But thankfully and finally, they get far enough away that they don't have to worry about dying to allergic bee stings, laughing a little as he tries to catch his breath. That was admittedly terrifying, but fun.]
Ah, I'll admit, even I wasn't expecting that kind of battle out of today. Never fought a swarm of wasps before...
I suppose next time I try to lead anything away, I should make sure the autopilot knows to stay away, huh?
[Although, he's not entirely sure how to do that without knowing the area first. He might have to go out into the segments more. That's not something he's really looking forward to considering how dangerous it is out here.]
I'm glad we teamed up though. If it were just me, I would've been done for...
[He'll let Rui figure out the details of how to keep his drone under control. Childe won't understand it all anyway, it's tech that's a little beyond him for the moment (until someone gives him his own drone, and oh my god please don't do that he won't use it for any good reasons.)]
Haha, you know we did make a pretty good team. You managed to sweep all of those pests up quite nicely. Ever consider learning to fight?
[He knows Rui does theater and stuff but hey, learning how to fight wouldn't be a bad thing, especially for fight scenes.]
Recently, I have, yes. As much as I hate the thought of hurting others, I do seem to be limited in where I can safely go without knowing how to fight. For example, I rarely go out into the segments like this because I know I can't protect myself.
[He sighs and shrugs.]
I don't know where I'd start learning such a thing though.
Well, battle doesn't necessarily mean fighting other people. Granted, it's a shame because you can learn so much from testing yourself against strong opponents like that, but...
[Rui's got a very good reason to want to learn to fight, so Childe's deemed this as a worthy enough reason to help.]
You maybe be able to get some combat instruction from the guilds. They do a lot of magic training too, so that may be a good place to start. Perhaps after you get a bit stronger, I can teach you some things myself.
[He says in the most cheeriest way possible, as if the possibility of pain might not exist don't fall for it]

Your turn, Tartaglia-kun!
