[ there's absolutely an undercurrent of lingering affection between them, but it's also something that they both pointedly ignore!! they're just so heckin complicated, ori.. it may very well have been okay, but then, kaeya also might've been the asshole that just ate the entire meal. ]
Yes, I was fortunate enough to find one quite easily. It's.. quaint, but comfortable. I can't complain.
[ and it's not as if he spends much time there.. ]
[ is he spending more time at someone else's treehouse, hm...... ]
Well, maybe it won't stay plain for long. Everyone's houses change and shift with their dreamotion.
[ To answer his question, she leans over the counter and procures another glass. ]
If you don't mind me joining you for one, sure! I regret that our first meeting was a bit strange... I really would like to get to know you in earnest!
[ There is a part of her that very much Doubts him being an "open book." She's an open book, and she knows, and he does not strike her as someone who is like her in most any way... ]
Well, for starters... What's your favorite food? I'll keep it mind for the next time I bring food over here.
I’ve heard of some dishes from Mondstadt during my time here, y’know! Like… Tea Break Pancakes, and Moon Pie… Besides, if it’s a cocktail that you’d like, you could just ask our bartender to make one for you, couldn’t you?
[ She’s not exactly sure what it means. She’d like to ask him about it, but the cocktail is soon forgotten by the mention of chicken and mushroom skewers. Recognition flits across her features, and she smiles. ]
Oh! Diluc has made those for me before! They’re very tasty!

Is that so? We'll see, then.
[ but that's enough smalltalk. kaeya is happy to fill her glass. ]
And I'm an open book, my dear. Anything you'd like to know?

My favorite food? I don't suppose you would accept a cocktail as an answer, would you?
[ somehow he thinks she wouldn't be satisfied with death after noon.. ]
no subject
No, I wouldn’t…

[ he chuckles. the drinks here are wonderful, and all, but nothing beats his death after noon.. ]
Still, if you're going to twist my arm, I also enjoy chicken and mushroom skewers. Even better if they're marinated in wine.

Oh! Diluc has made those for me before! They’re very tasty!
[ So very subtle! ]
no subject
Yes, he learned the recipe from me. Well, the altered recipe. Quite good, hmm?
[ and he's a little smug that diluc is still making them, tbh!! ]
no subject
[ ... why does he look so smug ]
D-Did I actually say something funny?
no subject
[ you're just really fuckin sus my friend, he doesn't need to hear it from her lips to be suspicious.. he'll just casually sip his drink. ]
Nevertheless, I'm glad you like them! I'd be happy to jot down the recipe for you, if you'd like it for yourself.
