Not that I would attend 、 but why was I excluded directly ?

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀I do not fault you for that . Although 、 if you cannot stand me . . Why are you standing ? And head to the tavern every so and so. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀okay. ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀Sure. Take a seat ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀Compliant is not what I would describe it as. Try 、 ‘willing’. My opinions versus capable people who have done no harm do not misconstruct how I treat my regular customers. ⠀

Good morning .

{ 🤨 } I won’t be a nuisance for long. I’m simply passing through. A stray cat had kittens not long ago 、 I must continue to observe her progress [ hasn’t slept but that’s not information he’d share directly. Diluc steps aside and with a small wave begins to make his way ]

[ he stops , immediately wipes the “I felt like you’d ask “ , smirk off his face when looking over his shoulder] A mother felt comfortable enough to have her kittens at the side of the tavern. My goal is to transport them to dawn winery where I can assure their safety.

Annoyed.

My presence will not disturb you on this task? [ a light tease as he nods and Continues. He talks as they walk to the spot . . Which is not too far from where they were. ] I will grab a basket to carry them all . May I ask you to watch them for a moment?

[ didn’t notice. Too busy “glaring holes” into a corner staring at— nothing technically.. Tapping his finger . There’s a sigh before he notices the captain . . ] • • • ❗️ [ He perks up; ‘fixing’ his expression. Clearly caught in his temperament. ] Need something , captain?

No. I have no issues with the brickwork. I’d rather glare at bricks than waste my time on something trivial. [ his gaze leading to make eye contact . ] Tell me captain 、 how do you deal with frustration or anger towards someone or something ?

Fatui. If I’m attempting to lie . — the list 、 it’s not a bad idea . Although I already have one. In this case I believe I might have to handle it ; differently. [ there’s a sigh as brows knit together and he rubs his temples ] May I ask you a question、 captain?
