[What they came here to do has been lost in translation somewhere between the urge to snap He Xuan's wrist and the force compelling him back against the side of the hot spring. He hasn't let go, though he's been forced down, realizing that resisting anymore would mean snapping and ending this man's life.

Would that be worth it? Killing this man to avenge his own pride when he's already given it up by putting himself in this position? Would it be worth giving up more than what he's already lost? How much more is there to lose?

Diluc doesn't deliberate long, arriving at his answer and going still, eerily still, and quiet for a long, long moment. He came here with a goal in mind, as did He Xuan. If he's going to use him, if they're going to use each other, Diluc only has one condition:]

Expect that everything you do to me will be returned to you tenfold. After this, if you so much as look at me when the others are around, I'll kill you.

[So do whatever you want to his body, He Xuan. Diluc won't stop you, but he'll insist on taking revenge when the moment comes.]
