( oh ... oh wow. that's certainly high praise coming from someone of Diluc's status and reputation. to think that such a highly sought man could look at a person like her and tell her that she's worth so much more than what she was told, after how long she spent believing that she wasn't 'girlfriend material.' (or wife material, even.) it felt pretty inevitable that he'd show a little bit of disdain towards those boys in the knights who wasted her time as well - which quietly amuses her. there really are some immature men in that organisation, like the man who tried to stop her officiating the traveller's gliding licensing exam. rude.
when Diluc nestles beside her, Amber can do nothing to stop the warm red glow in her cheeks as she blushes from the praise and his close proximity. her eyes widen a little when he rests his hand around the small of her back, and she can feel her heartrate skyrocketing again just like it was back when he helped her cook. Amber isn't too sure what's happening in this moment, but she's absolutely glowing from the inside out. for a woman as conversational as she is, she finds herself a little taken aback at just how lost for words she is. despite normally being so charismatic and confident, she feels ... stable. relaxed. happy. like flowers are blossoming inside of her chest.
it's a special kind of warmth that she'd never get from her pyro vision, certainly. )
... Thank you, Diluc. ( oh - looks like she didn't refer to him with 'master' this time, either? perhaps it's because Amber feels as though the comfort and support he's given her today has had him feel more like a friend than a host. and truly, that's what he is to her. while she does wish that she reached out to him sooner back in Teyvat because of all their similarities and shared pain, she's glad that it's lead to this moment. her eyes dart and drift between his gaze and the table, perhaps out of nerves, but eventually she fixes them to his and just takes a quiet moment to appreciate how striking they are. )
You've been so wonderful today. I ... ( maybe bravely, or perhaps foolishly, she places her hand on his leg. ) I can't remember the last time I felt so happy. Thank you for everything you've said, and everything you've done for me, I ... ( she trails off, undecided on where to guide her next sentence. "care about you deeply" was a phrase that threatened to leave her lips, but articulating this is a lot harder than it seems. but not wanting to drag it out for too long, she finally manages: )
I just feel ... so glad I've gotten to know you better in this place. I never imagined we'd have so much in common and you really are such a thoughtful, caring person. Just like you said to me ... anyone would be lucky to have you, too.
