#nicely done. don't disappoint me now
their reactions if you give them headpats ft. childe, bennett, and kazuha
warnings: yandere content, yandere cult stuff, mentions of violence
childe needs your praise like drugs. he just can't get enough of it. this harbinger gets instant gratification from your encouraging pats for his, more or less, bloody endeavors. he likes how you acknowledge him as a warrior, your warrior. you praise him for his abilities and for a job well done; it makes him pull you to the battlefield just to see him take down the mightiest of beasts and claim his reward of your affection at the end. your headpats are one of the reasons he lives for. it gives him a strength boost when he needs to battle it out with someone, and it makes him all the more feral knowing his prize for winning is your warm touch. the amount of blood he's spilled for your smile can make a river that stretches from starfell lake all the way to liyue harbor.
bennett feels like his soul ascends to heaven every time you give him your headpats. he's usually very unlikely to complete any orders or tasks without having a few hiccups or a strange result at the very end of all of it, but feeling your hand ruffle his hair and tell me a job well done-- it makes him want to cry. he has many around him give him their reassurances that it's ok to fail, but yours just means so much more to him. he finds his insecurities stop plaguing him for a long period of time when you do this, and it gives him more motivation to do things without feeling bad for a bad outcome. he is a bit scared when you touch him, though. he'd never forgive himself if his bad luck rubbed off on you.
kazuha becomes extremely flustered. his snowy skin always blooms red when you give him headpats for giving you a nice surprise. he says that it's the least you deserve, but it won't exactly stop the warm feeling from blooming in his chest. he uses this praise to create more poems that detail your beauty and divinity. you're so kind, so inviting-- so unlike the world of teyvat that's filled with people waiting to hurt another at any chance. you are the calm reprieve in the midst of a raging storm. all of these and more are scribbled all across parchments stained with ink. he hopes to show you all of them, one day. just make sure to give him headpats for it, okay?
