[ While this literal walking ray of sunshine has never had a shred of low self-esteem, it's still nice to hear the boost of confidence. Especially since it's coming from him. ]

Thank you Tartaglia, I really appreciate your kind words. It truly means a lot to me.

[ The sudden sensation of his arm wrapping around her waist causes Yoimiya to squeak in surprise, a flush of pink immediately colors her cheeks. Her own bubbly nature has made her quite affectionate over the years, she's used to giving out hugs, high fives and even holding hands but this level of intimacy is somewhat new to her. Even if she's not familiar with this sort of display of affection, there's no denying that she's enjoying it. Being this close to him feels so nice.

With a soft smile, she snuggles up against him, resting the side of her head against his chest. Even with such a tender moment shared between the two of them, Yoimiya manages to look up at Childe, her sweet smile transforming into a smug grin at his invitation for a spar. ]

I'm game. I still need to get back at you for our candy eating competition. Sparing with you will give me the perfect chance to get my revenge.
