              retainer drops their hands, and for a moment, there is a brief feeling of panic -it’s been so long since he was confronted with someone from his past, before his life here, that he forgets parts of it are still relevant. he’s let go of the parts that might hurt him in order to survive. diluc hasn’t seen him since he left mondstadt in search of his father, and neither kept in touch - he can’t fault the man for not knowing. but talking about it feels like the worst way to revisit an old friendship. he doesn’t want to start off negative.

            thoma tries to laugh, but it sounds a little empty. his smile, at least, reaches his eyes, though he doesn’t hold it for long, “we never reconnected, actually,” he doesn’t want to lie, either, that also being a pretty bad way to earn friendship, so he keeps it simple, “i’m not sure if he wanted to be found. but i got very lucky, meeting the kamisato siblings a few months after i got here. they took me in, and i’ve been a part of the clan ever since.”

     we never reconnected, actually. the sentence resonates in his bones and diluc’s heart sinks. a familiar numbness spreads that he has to steel himself to even hear thoma’s next words. an obvious change in demeanor that’s not entirely unlike thoma’s, who’s now lacking his trademark cordial warmth. diluc evidently regrets their question, though not as much as he resents this turn of event. he remembers drifting apart when his friend’s mother fell ill and he wasn’t allowed the time or energy to trouble themself with their situation. he remembers thoma leaving mondstadt after her passing to go find his father. bitterly, he remembers assuming thoma would at least find a supportive loved one in his father.

     ❝ i’m... very sorry to hear it, thoma. i had no idea. ❞ i didn’t have my priorities in order at the time. i stopped being a good friend when it was no longer convenient, and i had just hoped you found the life you deserved with him. ❝ you seem to have done very well for yourself here, so i just assumed. ❞ as someone who owes everything they have to their parent. he sighs quietly before daring to meet the other’s gaze again. off to a rather bad start, damn his cheerless attitude. he can’t force a smile, but he tries displaying a bit more optimism. ❝ apologies. this is unbecoming of a trade partner. would you let me treat you to dinner ? and please do choose the location. ❞

@gunnhildred​​​ said: ❝ 3374 Mora. ❞ There’s a bag full of coins set down on the bar when the blonde invades the workplace she’s been avoiding since his return. It isn’t so much that she’s been avoiding him per se, she just isn’t entirely sure what she’s supposed to say. It feels like a betrayal still leading the knights, but at the same time, she can’t fix a broken system from the outside. Change demands input; it demands good people to cure the rot before it can set in.

❝I realise it’s very unbecoming of a pillar of justice, but I kept eating the grapes at the winery whenever I found myself asking ‘What would Dilly do?’ ❞ Jean shrugs, sheepish but earnest as she gives the bag a gentle nudge in the wine tycoon’s direction. ❝This is me putting it right. ❞

     it’s not a double, but a triple, and even quadruple take he does within only the first few seconds of this surprise encounter. at first, diluc can’t seem to correlate the person to the place, stricken with the disorienting feeling of being faced with two factors that are familiar individually but never before put together. jean at angel’s share... doesn’t happen. at least, not without a very special occasion to warrant her presence.

     then comes the bag of mora to subserve the confusion. he blinks at it and then at jean, not bothering to hide how much this perplexes them. the gesture brings back distant memories, a glimpse into a past life where friendly bets were exchanged with no real stakes and good humor abounded. he blinks again.

     ❝ jean- you can’t be serious. ❞ the bag is pushed in his direction. she is serious. ❝ a few grapes are not worth this much mora, ❞ he says while rubbing at his forehead like it might alleviate their disbelief (it doesn’t).  ❝ and i wouldn’t charge you for them either way. please tell me this isn’t the only reason you’re here. ❞ the bag is pushed across the counter back at her. ❝ look, ❞ he offers in the lower tone of a private negotiation, ❝ don’t call me that in public again and you can consider us even. ❞

                retainer can’t help but smile at the thought - diluc putting aside his responsibilities to take a boat across the ocean just to see what’s become of thoma in the time away. a hand reaches out for one of diluc’s, shaking it firmly, he even pats his free hand overtop theirs, “nearly a decade now, i think…it’s great to see you, diluc. hey, i think i’m finally a little taller than you.”

     ❝ tch, no surprises there, ❞ diluc laments under his breath at the mention of their compared heights. although he’s not of short stature by any means, just about everyone they knew as a teenager sooner or later outgrew him. thoma being no exception to this rule matches the young master’s expectation. 

     not that it’s something he’s inclined to dwell on, what with the warmth of an old friend close enough to touch - literally, as he welcomes the lingering contact. ❝ likewise, thoma. ❞ the sentiment is returned with no forced politeness. ❝ has your father helped you secure this position ? i seem to recall he had a number of ties to this country. ❞

Diluc lashed out at Kaeya when the latter revealed the truth of his infiltration in Mondstadt after their father’s death. He then left their relationship behind without a second thought and went on a three-year rampage, searching for the truth and hunting down those he deemed responsible for the incident. This journey ended when a face-off against the Eleven almost cost him his life, an experience that prompted him to reflect on his approach. Diluc’s story states that he understood in that moment that his reaction to everything that had happened had been immature and the result of misplaced anger, that he acknowledged his shortcomings and went home with a different perspective. Shortly after meeting Venti, he explicitly states that the bard sharing his secret with him was a good enough reason to return that trust to the same extent. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that Diluc has matured to a point where he regrets having felt betrayed by Kaeya’s revelation instead of seeing it as the sincere display of trust that it was, and if the same exchange were to occur in present day, he would react very differently. In this essay I will

     port ormos was definitely diluc’s favorite place in all of sumeru. the overall atmosphere - a mix of merchants both local and foreign, nimble artists and street performers, as well as students and tourists who just want to sit back and have a drink - reminded them of home. the climate is also ideal, with the sea breeze balancing out the rainforest’s humidity, and this particular shore offers one of the best views of the sunrise in teyvat. even though they only stayed there a few days overall and had his fair share of unpleasant encounters, it’s the one place they’d eagerly return to given the opportunity.

#⌜ headcanon ⌟ #its hard to tell if any business between mondstadt and sumeru would be dealt on land or by boat #either way given their respective locations it feels like liyue harbor would be an inevitable stop on the journey #making it unlikely diluc would ever have an excuse to go all the way to sumeru. at least not for dawn winery business #😞

vague sumeru spoilers !

of all the discussion and theories i’ve seen taking place in light of the first two acts, i’ve yet to see anyone talk about this fun fact venti let us in on during the prologue. specifically, how an archon’s power is directly tied to how much their people worship them (hence his belief that he’s currently the weakest archon because he doesn’t rule over mondstadt so the people aren’t compelled to worship him the way people do in other regions where an archon is a lot more involved). obviously by now we can See that venti is not the weakest archon, BUT

my point is, wouldn’t that be the very reason kusanali can’t seem to grow into her role as an archon - the fact that the akademiya is actively dissuading people from believing in her ? is her weakness a side-effect of their disdain that recycles said disdain for her in a vicious cycle, or is it the exact thing they’re aiming for by keeping her under lock and discouraging anyone who wants to even acknowledge her existence ?

i dont indulge in predictions a whole lot anymore but if i were to speculate, i’d wager that the day we overthrow the sages and/or bring attention to kusanali’s existence for everyone in sumeru, she’s gonna get a major power boost and might at last be able to resolve the overall sumeru crisis.

#genshin spoilers #spoiler-free tl;dr i think theres a lot of key information venti gave us in the beginning that everyone was too quick to forget #personal bias aside i really hope we revisit mondstadt a few times through interludes and such #if only to remind us of those early lore-dumps that we're starting to overlook because it was from longer and longer ago
