omg... gave me an idea of Kaeya acting all bitchy towards Childe, because Childe chooses to stay loyal to his country. bitchy but in a projecting kind of way??

like Kaeya gets bitter about it since he had to choose between the Ragnvindrs and Khaenri'ah, and chose the Ragnvindrs and STILL got slack for it. now here's Childe, who he wouldn't dare shame for choosing his home country (because that's bad!! obviously!!), but still feels bitter about...

something like "so when i choose family, i get slack. he chooses his nation over me, and he doesn't?" or something. really, really bad projection from Kaeya. augh
