A noble, but very unnecessary gesture, all the same. I am curious though. Does this mean your work's brought you through Mondstadt more regularly?

[ ... and how angry does that make Diluc, he wonders? but he can keep that to himself. ]

Of course, why wouldn't the Fatui be trying to expand?

"Trying to expand...?"

What an interesting notion, considering their already expansive recruitment and diplomatic networks.

[He shrugs nonchalantly.]

I can never pass up an opportunity to test my limits. Speaking of, are you on less than ideal terms with the others? I know they can be ...

Suddenly this talk seems really serious. Want to give me a tour?

Well, if you need a distraction, I don't see why I can't oblige.

There's precious little to go over so far, and yet, every day manages to be so interesting.

[ he's starting to put together some sort of outline. ]

I've been looking over the profiles and it seems like they bring in all types.

[Making a motion for him to start so he can follow.]

Sees being pulled away to this who place for just lying is a bit much, huh.

Oh, the crimes are the thinnest of veneers.

[ for the most part. at any rate, he does start to move away from the busier part of things, more towards, well. the diner. and the bar. ]

... When you said "others," who exactly did you mean?

Signora. Dottore ... okay, even I think he's a little weird, Scaramouche.

I wouldn't know. The only one of you I've ever met in person was Dottore. It was perfectly cordial.

[ "cordial." it was a diplomatic nightmare of tricking all the fatui by the end of it, but you know. ]

I would give him a ten out of ten for creativity. Don't know how he keeps those teeth of his that sharp.

[You know. These things just happen.]

I can feel a whole lot of hidden story behind that statement. Gotta say, I kind of respect it.

[ there is a very, very long story, and there is an official, and an unofficial story.

still, he looks unbothered ]

Well, I do enjoy sharing stories over drinks.

Now that's more like it.

[Then he pauses.]

How do we get drinks here?

[Not having mora is going to take a bit to get used to.]

There is a bar.

It's one of the few comforts we've had since day one.

And it's free? Maybe Liyue is rubbing off on me.

Most things are free. And those that aren't, well. Your cell block should explain it to you.

[ to their classy bar! ]

They've already asked me to cook. I'll check in with them.

[Finding a table in the back and kicking out the chair for him before he sits down.]

Have you travelled to the other countries?

[ he will just lift some wine from the bar-- because he meant it about the drinks? ]

Oh, no, of course not.

[

pours himself a glass, and then offers the extra glass to childe. but he's taking a drink. ]

[He will drink! Why not? Today can't get any weirder.]

Too busy, huh. Well, Liyue's nice if you can ever manage a vacation. Though the travel can be tricky.

Anyway, how much benefit of the doubt are you giving me?

Why are you so concerned about it~?

[ he seems a little amused by the idea, though internally:

SUS. ]
