Choco— Now hold on a minute! [ Childe yips at Zenos being so disappointed, because oh wow no he's got this all wrong. He shakes Abel kind of like he might strangle him if his hand were around his neck versus his shoulders. Or, how a baby shakes a rattle. The beef jerky falls into his lap forgotten. ]

Father Nightroad doesn't want to fight, and if he won't put up a fight, that's super boring so I just figured I'd keep him busy by feeding him! I didn't know it was going to go like this?? I don't even know what this is.

[ before Childe can elaborate further defense points to toss Zenos's way, he whips his head back to look at Abel at those questions. What. WHAT? what does all that even mean?? ]

I... don't get... I mean, I don't know what he likes other than fighting???
