[Something in Diluc softens and the rigid mindset bends. His voice is a little softer,]
You’re right. I can’t. But when I’m away, Sir Alberich is who you could go to. He seems lazy but that’s all an act. Something I assume is on his roster file.
[To say Kaeya is lazy and write him off is to fall right into his trap. But another option presents itself. He stares into the middle distance. Nehan hasn’t proven himself enough for him to offer that to him.
So he doesn’t bring it up. Instead he sets about cleaning up after both of them.]
That's assuming he wont go with you when you take the Land of Snow. [the erune shakes his head.] Or the rest of those with Visions in Mondstadt.
No, I will go into hiding. Deep into hiding, where nobody can find me. [he would have preferred to be healed by now, but needs must-- and if he needs to traverse liyue's mountains in this condition, he will.]
[His expression goes carefully blank. He personally doesn't see any of them moving to fight with him nor does he plan to tell them when the time comes.
He nods once,] Very well, for your services to Mondstadt and its people I can offer supplies that won't be traced back to us or leave any sort of paper trail.
[There's a pause before he adds,] For the meanwhile, what is your preference in drinks? I will make whatever you like.
I have no allergies. [after a few final stirs, nehan turns the fire off, and removes the pot from the stove, allowing his congee to thicken more just by its residual heat, until it reaches a consistency he's pleased with.
then he scrounges for two bowls to serve the congee in.]
My loss of sense stems from the same incident that made my body this way. Perhaps I'll tell you about it later.

You don't have to make anything to my taste. My taste buds are dead.

Is there anything else you wish to bring up or voice?
