[Bad... No, it's simply that he's not the man he used to be: one capable of intimate touch and warmth in anything less than a literal sense. It's quite ironic now that his element is Pyro, but then again, perhaps all he's good for is destruction.
Regardless, none of that is anyone's concern but his own, he turns back to look at Ellis after swallowing a breath.]
No. I'm just unused to it now. It ought to remain that way.
[He'd rather not grow to miss intimacy again. He can't afford indulging in anything that might distract him from his mission.]
[Oh, how he could laugh. Had Ellis met him some years earlier, he might've agreed, but now? All Ellis sees are the burning embers of the man he used to be. Some semblance of humanity that he hasn't yet shaken off.]
You're wrong about me, Ellis. You'd do well to keep your distance.
[And this is his house, but he's getting up to leave it anyway. Have a good one, Ellis.]

But you're so nice, Diluc. At least, you were nice to me. I think a kindhearted person like you should feel loved.
[ Not by Ellis though, even if Diluc has been triggering his dokis levels off the chart this entire thread. ]
