"Limited ways?" [hmm.] What do you expect of me, then? I won't lie to you.
[he says such a thing so casually, but it's honest? it IS. there's no point to lying to diluc, after all that happened; diluc knows the worst of him, so, you know. even if there's nothing between them, there's at least the knowledge that kaeya has nothing to hide.]
[ his eyes narrow as he watches him drink, worried for a minute that he might take it too far. Diluc had no clue how much he had drunk before he found him, and to be ordering another... but he doesn't say anything. ]
You won't? Well, that's a relief.
[ he's already mentally preparing to cut Kaeya off, if necessary. ]
