[ Childe's mask is a savior more than ever, because no matter what he's feeling or expressing it can't be seen by anyone. Consider even he doesn't know how he feels right now, anymore, it keeps things simple.
This talk feels pointless, and it probably is. He's not even sure why this man is getting in his way. Still, instead of swing his lance at Kaeya in response, he does respond to his questions. ]
You are Khaenri'ahn. You should know better than most that why you became a monster doesn't matter to the rest of the world. Do you hear people in Teyvat preaching that the gods were wrong to punish an entire nation and wipe them off the map? Do you hear about a nation of good people that deserved better than the punishment for what the minority had done? Or is the repertoire always of a nation full of godless sinners?
[ Kaeya may not be afraid of him, but he's not afraid of Kaeya, either. It seems so obvious that of course a little boy would be scared—terrified to the point it doesn't even seem to need affirming. ] Fear is only what you make of it— and standing in my way benefits you none.
