[ If she isn't willing to make sure Zhongli is doing fine, then he supposes this isn't much of a mercy-kill at all. Not that he expected a mercy-kill from her, but he at least is trying to assume that's what had been in Zhongli's mind when he tried. Maybe he's wrong. Maybe Zhongli is no different. Maybe he really is asking for too much from the both of them.
Childe doesn't answer her. There's no reason to talk further. This is nothing more than a way to dispose of an enemy that's unlucky enough to fail to retreat well enough to not be tracked down. The Meridian urges him to fight, to not give in, but as Childe stares down at the blood soaking his gloves through, he knows he's not giving up so much as he simply can't get his body to move anymore. His will to live is not at its limit, but this physical human body that has lost the key parts of his abilities that made him more resilient physically are gone.
While he remains silent, the communion walls are down enough she'll recognize his resentful thoughts directed at her. Just hurry it up, I have nothing to say to someone like you. ]
