[.........................Is the fact that he had sex with He Xuan common knowledge now?! Diluc's as pale as they come, so it's almost impressive to see him go just a shade paler upon hearing that. Mortifying...]
Oh? And was it Sir Kaeya who told you that, Ellis?
[Give him your sources. He just wants to talk. 🔥🔪]
[ He sees Diluc go pale for a bit and holds back the urge to laugh. Ellis is really only laughing at how Diluc is reacting... he doesn't care if Diluc is the secret whore of Crescentview or not.
[Great, fantastic. If his talk with Kaeya doesn't go well, it's good to know he can just kill him and be done with it. Diluc's heavily eyeing one of the tomatoes in the basket on the table. Killing Ellis might not be such a bad idea either...]
And what do you think? Was I wrong to fill out another square on my bingo card without Sir Kaeya's explicit approval?
[Diluc nods. That's how he looks at it, more or less, but a certain uppity knight definitely would've blown his top if Ellis said exactly that to him.]

[Your wrist is free now, Ellis! Figure it out!!]
no subject
Are you the type who only scolds people you care about?
no subject
[That's a yes. If Diluc didn't care, he'd have ushered Ellis out the door by now. How annoying... but he isn't giving up, only proving Ellis' point.]
If I didn't think you were worth the trouble, I wouldn't have stopped you. You can put two and two together, can't you?
no subject
[ aka why do you talk so much to justify your actions, Diluc. Embarrassing. ]
no subject
[Diluc huffs. Scoffs, really.]
Those are big words coming from you. "Nothing" is three less.
[Hypocrite!!]
no subject
[ He's still not allowed to lie so lmfao ]
no subject
[Hear that, Ellis? Diluc has expectations of you, and now that he knows your true nature, you'd better not expect him to let you off the hook easy.]
( It should be obvious that I care. Stop saying such pointless things. )
no subject
Anyway. ]
I'm trying to say that you should be more up front about what you're feeling in simple terms. People can misunderstand.
[ Like maybe Kaeya?? ]
no subject
Between the two of us, I don't think I'm the one who struggles to be upfront.
[He's obtuse, Ellis. Help him out a bit.]
no subject
[ He will bring up receipts. ]
no subject
[Fine! Bring them up, then!!]
no subject
[ Yes, he's asking again. ]
no subject
I suppose I do. [Huff!] There. Satisfied?
no subject
Do you care about Kaeya a lot?
no subject
( I care for him more than I'd ever admit. )
no subject
[ Also, he points to the thought bubble if Diluc can see what Ellis is seeing... ]
no subject
( It doesn't matter what you think. I'll never admit to caring about the likes of that man. )
no subject
[ Diluc gets to deal with a gremlin because he unearthed Ellis's actual personality. Congratulations. ]
no subject
My affairs are none of your concern— especially with regards to Sir Kaeya.
no subject
[ Maybe concern isn't the right word, but he'll use this for now. ]
no subject
Oh? And was it Sir Kaeya who told you that, Ellis?
[Give him your sources. He just wants to talk. 🔥🔪]
no subject
So he just nods. ]
no subject
And what do you think? Was I wrong to fill out another square on my bingo card without Sir Kaeya's explicit approval?
no subject
It's your life. You can do whatever you want with it.
no subject
Was what your response to Kaeya as well?
