Even if she may ultimately be proven wrong — though who among them can say — that outburst doesn't lose her any respect on Diluc's end, but he does have the audacity to click his tongue at her when she rounds the path to halt him in his tracks.

Amber is well aware of both possibilities here, else she wouldn't spit back with so much venom, but Diluc doesn't yield an inch— not until she lets go of a secret he'd never even known she'd held. It's Diluc's turn to get angry then, eyes narrowing the slightest degree.]
