"Repeat after me. Thank..."

"Thank..."

"You."

"Poo."

Y/n adorned a puzzled look as the scarlet haired boy beside her sputtered, covering his mouth to hold back hysterical laughter.

The duo were sitting on the roof of the estate together, reading a book. Both children wore heavy coats to protect them from the cold wind but the h/c haired girl seemed unbothered by the chill.

There had been no progress in finding y/n's family, even after Diluc, Y/n and Crepus had traveled around Mondstadt, asking if anyone was missing a child. They'd hung up posters and even offered a reward for anyone who even had connections to the girl's family. All they got were greedy people who just wanted the reward.

Y/n was fine though. Even if she was a little homesick, she liked talking to Diluc. He was nice.

"Cur rides?" y/n questioned, tilting her head, "Quid est tam ridiculam?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing-" Diluc wheezed then pat y/n's head affectionately.

"Was y/n right?" the e/c eyed girl asked.

"You were close." Diluc chuckled, "Next time, say 'you' instead of 'poo', okay?"

"Eh? Bene." y/n hummed.

"How about this one? Can you read it?" Diluc asked, pointing to another sentence in the book, "Try reading it."

"Uh..." y/n narrowed her eyes, "What...is your...n-name? Quomodo tu dicis non est?"

"You got it!" Diluc chimed, guessing that she was asking if she'd said it correctly, "You say that to people you don't know so you can address them by their name!"

"Woahhh!" y/n breathed. Though it was something all kids her age knew, the girl was amazed by this as if it was the coolest thing in the world.

"When an older person tells you their name, call them Miss or Mister then their last name. For example, you'd call my father Mister Ragnvindr if he hadn't allowed you to call him by his first name."

"So... does y/n call Diluc's father Mister Crepus?" y/n asked and Diluc nodded.

"Exactly! You're getting it now!" Diluc exclaimed, "Good job, you're doing great!"

Y/n adorned a proud expression but it quickly turned into an embarrassed one when her stomach grumbled loudly.

She crossed her arms over it and snapped, "Hush, tummy!" while Diluc chuckled.

"I'm guessing you're hungry?"

"Nye, y/n is not hungry!"

Another loud grumble.

"...maybe a bit."

•••

"What is Diluc doing?" y/n inquired, hands on a table as she peered curiously at the board and the little play pieces that sat upon it.

The scarlet haired briefly looked up then smiled, "I'm playing chess! Well, not really since I'm playing by myself, heh."

"What is chess?" y/n asked, clambering into the seat across the table from Diluc.

"It's a game!"

"A game?" y/n asked then sweatdropped, "Uhm... Diluc? What even is a game?"
