    Summary

    Diluc clenches his jaw, focusing on avoiding a flinch, but the reminder of Kaeya’s relation to the kingdom hidden deep within the confines of the Abyss grates on his nerves. He wants nothing but to hide him away, if only until they can regulate the situation properly, yet knows he can’t as well as he knows that Kaeya has a point.

    “Please,” he begs instead, thinking it might get him farther than arguing. “Just let me—”

    “No,” Kaeya takes a step towards him, and reaches out to take his hand, squeezing it. “No. Let’s be honest here, Diluc, I’ll be trying to communicate with them to the best of my ability. When that doesn’t work, I’ll have no issue using foreign tactics that could upset a stomach, including khemia. Anything to lighten the pressure over Mondstadt.”

    “Are you threatening them, or threatening me?”

    Alternatively: a lot of suffering.
