[Blink and you might miss it is right, he definitely missed it but it's a delightful surprise, especially watching Hinobuta really manhandle that rhino. What a strong guy, Childe never would have imagined it would grow into something like that. As Hijikata deals with his own foes, Tartaglia's continuing to lure the angry rock kangaroo onto the ice, forced to dodge ice shards that get thrown at him as it gives chase. It's not until he's far enough out on the ice that he stops running, having set up his trap inspired by his companion's own strategy. Electricity, thankfully, won't be needed to deal with this enemy, as he moves in to swing his claymore at it once again. But every swing misses, the kangaroo dodging as the weapon cleaves downwards as he attacks it, eating ice instead of the stone of its body. The creature taunts him with its one arm, hopping around in a circle as Childe fights- but the Harbinger simply stops at one point to heave the weapon up on his shoulder.]

I don't think you know what you've just walked into.

[With one last swing, his claymore comes crashing down to hit the ice one last time, causing it to crack horribly until it shatters, causing the rock kangaroo to fall into the water and subsequently down to the bottom. Childe leans over the hole, holding his hand up to his brow as he looks down into the trap created by his attacks, laughing all the while.]

I didn't figure it could swim. Especially not with one arm, hahaha.

[Standing back up straight to stretch out his back, he turns to Hijikata, giving him a wave. He doesn't see anything else (for the moment) besides the rhino that's currently getting beaten by Hinobuta.]

Should we go give Hinobuta a hand? I wouldn't want to interrupt its battle if it doesn't need our help.

[Warrior's pride and all.]
