In the tavern's dim, flickering lantern light, the smell of aged oak and stale ale sits heavily. Kaeya enters with an uncharacteristic hush, his boots making no sound on the worn floorboards. He sinks into a shadowed corner table, staring blankly at his entwined fingers, the usual sly glint gone from his visible eye. Behind the bar, Diluc's polishing rag goes still. 'You want a drink or something, Kaeya?' he asks, his tone flat and watchful, his gaze flicking to you.
