3rd Battle | UN: Childe / Video

[The video opens to a bright and smiling Childe, bandaged up across his head. The rest of the bandages are hidden beneath his clothing, because he's bundled up pretty well. You couldn't tell he was injured otherwise. He seems to be sitting on a small folding stool on a frozen lake, somewhere in the woods outside of the city. His fox Omen is holding up his Omni for him in its mouth, because this really isn't something so dire that he needs to be broadcasting it directly through other's Omens. A small fishing rod, probably the third of the size of a normal rod sits on the ice beside him, along with a few buckets, a very large backpack and some other equipment]

Hey there! As you can see, the frost and snow has really settled in now. Ah, it's breathtaking, isn't it? The way that the desolate landscape allows the snow to shine against that bright sky...but anyhow. It took a while to find the time, but I finally was able to find a few lakes out here that aren't completely dead. So, I thought it would be nice to share my favorite hobby with all of you.

[There's a hole that's clearly been drilled into the ice in front of him, a little smaller than he's used to, but it works.]

You see, where I come from, ponds and lakes are frozen over so greatly that you can tread on it as hard as you please, and the ice will never shatter. The fish in these lakes dwarf that of the ones that reside in your normal ponds. And in Snezhnaya, it's always been a great past time to go out ice fishing. It requires a little more patience, but I assure you it's always enjoyable. I'd be more than happy to go into detail about it. And if you want to come, well, I'm here now. Might as well take the few precious moments we have to relax, yes?

[He says that, though he still uses ice fishing to train. He pauses for a moment.]

Oh, and...I've already taken the time to remove some of those pesky traps left over from last month that were laid in the woods. Just the ones that are on the way to these lakes. They were of no consequence to me of course, and you should be able to travel to at least a few of the lakes around here without much issue. No guarantees though.

I have to ask. Why would one want to fish when it's so cold that the lake has frozen?

[She knows she wouldn't, so she wants to know why others do? What is it about it?]

So people love being cold? Also how does it train your mind? Is it because you need a lot of patience or something since I don't think the fish would bite right away, right?

[She wasn't sure but she figured that would at least make sense.]

[Okay, now she can understand it a bit. Those things can be applied to things like battle. She knew that well enough herself after all.]

So it has it's uses outside of just fishing in the cold. I think I got it. I probably wouldn't join in myself, but I would probably watch it sometime.

I think fishing wouldn't be fun for me, but watching and understanding why others might at least helps.

That I will do. Being cold is just no fun for anyone, so I will make sure to at least wear layers.
