[WHY IS AKIRA SO SKILLED AND CHOOSING THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIMES TO START A CONVERSATION.]
You're still close, even then?
[Their relationship gives It's Complicated in general, but he doesn't think he could tolerate closeness with someone who would say something like that to his face, damb.]
[ he's quiet for a moment, trying to figure out how to say this in a way that isn't completely pathetic. and then figures there is no way to do that, so. ]
After I forgot what I was, my very first memory was of Akira. He found me and told me I would be okay, and after that he became the most important thing in the world to me.
[ ryo had done everything he could to make sure akira would survive the world ending, because he didn't want to be apart from him. ]
But it's not a feeling that's mutual. Even here, he's still choosing people he's known for two months over me. So, we're likely not as close as I like to think.
[This is so pathetic but fortunately or unfortunately it's something that pushes on Scaramouche's soft little peach bruises, so he has nothing sharp or mean to say about it. His expression has a little bit of a bitter edge to it, though! But he has a lot of bitterness to spare today, so that's probably not a surprise.
He seems to be considering what he wants to say for a second, and then:]
Do you know what he intends to do? Beyond apparently attempting to figure out what's going on in your god's head.
[He thinks Ryo is valid, frankly! He also wanted everyone to fail so he could just vibe with the people he'd unfortunately become attached to, but Life Is Not Kind.
He's quiet for a little while. Considering. And then:]
Come with me, then. [JUST INVITES SATAN TO TEYVAT.] There's no way of telling whether or not a path to Hell will stay open, but Lu Bixing is working on doors between our worlds, so you could travel through them freely. There are plenty of omniscient gods in my world. You could learn something there.
[NOT ONLY COME TO TEYVAT BUT ALSO COME TO TEYVAT TO LEARN HOW TO KILL GOD.]
[ a few people had given offers after the meetings during the week, and ryo never took them seriously. they were the kind of suggestions people made because they felt like they had to, and not because it's something they would have genuinely wanted.
which is why this one weighs a little more heavily, since ryo knows that scaramouche would rather eat glass than just invite random people back with him. ]
How to kill a god via other gods?
[ that is what he is commenting on because he isn't sure how to comment on the rest of it ]
[It's true, he would... He didn't even anticipate making the offer to Ryo, honestly, but hilariously, Akira's actions and choices have angered him to the point that he's like "fuck that guy then, let's go kill god!" about it. He doesn't think Ryo needs to learn to behave or do better or whatever else, he thinks that he's fine as he is, insanity and murderous intent and all.
For the simple question, he replies with a simple nod.]
Mm. Teyvat was built on the backbone of slain gods, after all.
[Who better to learn how to kill gods from than other gods?? And who better to practice on!]
[ he goes quiet again, considering. unfortunately, the offer of killing gods and learning their weaknesses is such a good draw i truly wish this bitch was less fine with stabbing. ]
I'll consider it.
[ ryo doesn't want to outright say yes, as they don't actually know if this would even be a possibility or not until tomorrow. ]
[UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE IN THIS GAME LEARNED TO NOT STAB OTHER PEOPLE... Even though that is a lesson that so many of them SHOULD HAVE LEARNED AND REALLY NEEDED TO!!!!
But he just nods. He has no intention of pressing now that the offer's on the table.]
Consider it open for consideration, as long as it's something available to us.
As someone else who uses thanks very infrequently though, he's just nodding once, not making a particularly big deal about it. AND THEN MAKING A FACE.]
If I wasted my time adjusting my plans for nothing, I'm going to be angry.
[As if that would be literally anyone's fault help.]
[He thinks Ryo is valid... He likes Harrowhark, but as this game has made abundantly clear, Scaramouche liking you does not protect you from anything.]
A poor showing that she would have to cope with for an eternity. Painful, to be honest. I don't envy her.

[ it is not something he says often. or at least, not something he tends to say sincerely, but he means it here.
ryo truly would have had a better time in the graveyard i think about this ]
... in any case, we'll see how badly it blows up tomorrow, then.

It would be a little embarrassing of Harrowhark to get everyone excited only for it to fall flat.
[ he just puts it all on her because he is petty. ]

Exactly. I'd be too embarrass to show my face around the others.
[ no he wouldn't ]
