[He gives a light nod to himself at Noah's response, because that's a fairly level-headed stance to take given the circumstances. As much as he wants to protect the dreams and aspirations of the children here in Yogen... This is a place where ignorance is not bliss. In fact, keeping them in the dark only seems to serve in making them into even larger targets.]

Maybe I just wanted to. [He offers dryly, though he doubts Noah will accept that answer the way he probably should. Childe's played the fairytale villain before, and it would probably be easier for him to do it again. Drive Noah away for his own safety.

Worth a shot, right? At least once.]

Maybe I just missed the feeling of blood on my hands. Maybe I missed the sound of it all, or missed the way a fight to the death gets the adrenaline coursing like nothing else can. Is that a reason you can believe in?

[He shakes his head, looking cross.]

No, I don't believe you're like that. I've known people like that.

[Titania and Dantalion, deceptive to the very end, especially the former — that was, until her cover was blown. But her cover was not blown of her own volition, and perhaps that's where the difference lies. Childe had given himself up, or so Noah understands. To him, a true sadist doesn't turn around and admit they want blood on their hands.

Perhaps he's wrong about that. It's a high probability. He's a kid with a narrow view of the world; who's to say a sadist wouldn't whip around and admit all their crimes? Maybe that's just the very definition.

Noah would like to believe that Childe isn't that person.]

Someone with my "best interests at heart" wouldn't kill indiscriminately for that reason.
