That purple glow doesn't go unnoticed. As Childe looks down at the former Harbinger again, he notices it, and it sets him on guard. Maybe it's the result of the repairs done to him that has reignited something inside of the puppet, maybe it's just the original power that he held that's showing itself anew after the horrific battle that they'd had that left them both terribly injured- he's not sure. But whatever it is, something in his gut tells him that he has to be careful around Scaramouche, even moreso than he'd already thought he had to before.
But he doesn't grace most of what he says with a response. The arrogant, uncaring part of him is glad that Scaramouche has decided that being useful is the best thing to do here, but there's also a part of him that aches to hear him say that, a part of him that he wishes he didn't have but somehow feels for the puppet. By all means, he shouldn't, he's clearly a traitor to the Tsaritsa, but it's that same feeling he's been struggling with ever since he took the puppet down and decided not to kill him.
Maybe he's right. Maybe he is just a coward...
"I see it. C'mon, quickly-"
It's the first acknowledgement of Scaramouche's presence that he's bothered with since they'd been walking towards Gandharva Ville. The Harbinger quickly moves, rounding around to flank them on one side, scrutinizing their movements.
"Gandharva Ville isn't too far from here. And if I didn't know any better, it looks like they're about to open a portal...perhaps to attack the Forest Rangers directly. But why would they do such a thing...?"
It doesn't make sense to him, but what it does do is provide an opportunity for them to get into the Abyss unnoticed while their abyssal troops are pouring out of it. Or, they could fight all the monsters directly, getting inside before they could pour out into Teyvat...
"Let's get inside the portal before anything else comes out. There'll be plenty of fighting to be had inside, and that's exactly what I want. Gandharva Ville can thank us later for our service, haha."
