[Diluc shows up right on time to pick up Amber for their date upon the ship. Though they're just venturing on this date as friends and Diluc bid on her to uphold his promise of not letting her slip into the hands of any more unsavory men, he intends to make it a proper date.

Dressed to the nines with his hair free from its usual ponytail, he knocks on her door and presents her with a bouquet of deep red roses when she answers.]


Good morning, Amber.

[......................................................Girl,

It takes every ounce of Diluc's hard-earned restraint not to openly stare at her. To say she looks good in that ensemble would be doing her a major disservice. She looks like a snack, a treat, a whole ass woman buffet, but none of that leaves Diluc's mouth in favor of complimenting her as a proper gentleman should.]


What, these roses? I'd thought so as well, but they pale in comparison to you. Regardless, I hope you enjoy them.

[The roses are neatly held together by an elegant strip of black satin in lieu of the usual twine, and with a smile, he holds them out to her. Really, his main priority here is freeing up his hands so he can hold onto Amber's.]

[No, he doesn't mind one bit, stepping inside so she can set her flowers in a vase. Ah... But her home is looking rather nice these days, Diluc can't help but notice. She has a style all her own and it suits her well, but he supposes Mishka may have had a hand in this as well. Still, this is a largely Amber-core home, isn't it?]

Glad to hear it. I don't find myself using many of the flowers we grow on the farm, so if they are to your liking, I'll bring you some more often.

[Certain flowers can be used in wine making, but for the rest, he'll keep Amber in mind for the future. Taking her offered arm, Diluc guides her out of her home and towards the beach.]

Have you had much time to research the boat? There are quite a few amenities on board. First things first: have you brought your appetite?

[Amber! Don't talk about how good his meat is when you're wearing a dress like that!! Diluc's mind inevitably goes there, and so he sheepishly laughs, but he's not going to explain himself. Heading off in the direction of the boat, he matches pace with Amber.]

You've never been on a proper date before?

[Wow!! Could those idiots at the Knights get any worse? Diluc strongly regrets not having had the opportunity to take Amber on a date like this sooner. Bedding her first was improper, but she seems happy, so he can't beat himself up for it all too much.]

In that case, I'll ensure it's the best date you'll ever go on. Like you, I'll admit I'm eager to eat.

[Who knows? Maybe big, meaty appetites are a pyro thing.]

[It's because he's aware, at least in part, of how much pain Amber has gone through in her life and on this island, that he insists on making this date special. Seeing her happy really does warm his heart a great deal. The two people on this island whose happiness seem to shine brightly enough to touch even him are Kaeya, of course, and herself. Will he stop to think about why that is? No, there are others matters to be focusing on during their friend date, he thinks. This isn't about him.

As they board the ship, Diluc takes a look around at what they can see from just outside of it. It's not a particularly big vessel, but it's nicely decorated and no doubt a lot of care and consideration went into planning this excursion for them. Good. This is the sort of relaxing atmosphere that should, hopefully, put Amber's heart at ease.]


Pretty incredible. It's been quite a while since I've been on a boat this nice. Of course, I've been on my fair share of rickety paddleboats since.

[He wasn't exactly moving around in style when storming Fatui strongholds. Stepping foot onto the boat, Diluc shifts his hold to keep an arm wrapped around Amber's waist. These are somewhat tight quarters and there's staff milling about, so he keeps her close to avoid any of them bumbling into her.]

Let's get signed in at the restaurant. I've read there's also a buffet on board, but we're both fans of a good steak, aren't we?

[And Diluc has expensive tastes that he doesn't at all mind sharing with Amber, signing in and shortly thereafter being escorted to their table. The waiter moves to pull out Amber's chair for her, but Diluc gently insists on doing it himself, after which the waiter provides them with the wine menu. Diluc hands the first of the two menus to Amber.]

Now then... Oh. Somehow, I recognize most of these names. There are a few bottles on offer from Dawn Winery as well.

[How in the world did the kitchen staff acquire them...? Don't worry, he'll interrogate them later. It's Amber time right now.]

[Naturally, he's going to order a bottle of Dawn Winery's finest just to ensure they haven't gone the lengths to bootleg his signature brew. But more importantly, if it is a genuine import, he wants Amber to enjoy the wine he and his father have worked so hard to create.

As for the food... Well, his eyes gravitate towards the steaks on offer. Setting his menu down so Amber can see it, he taps the glistening sirloin on the page.]


Absolutely. I find that a well-marbled cut of meat pairs well with our signature red, but any sort of meat will do. What would you like, Amber? I'll order for us.
