"Dillian hombre are you okay?" Arataki Itto asked, he tried to see Diluc's face, but Diluc just turned the opposite way. There was no way he could show the foreigner his secret.

Itto got a little excited, it was like a little game, if he got to see his hombre's Dillian's face, then he won. Itto cracked his knuckles and prepared for the game. He moved very fast, trying to checkmate his hombre Dillian and successfully see his face. Diluc was caught off guard by the persistence of Itto. Diluc tried to move quickly, but Itto was trying his very hardest.

This went on for a while, until Diluc heard a thump. He turned and saw Itto has fallen to the ground face first. Above him was a green haired lady with a mask.

"Sorry about that ma'am, my leader caused you a lot of trouble, are you alright?" The strange green haired lady asked.

Diluc nodded, a little out of breath, "Thank you for saving me there, he was being a nuisance to me."

The green haired girl sigh, "On behalf of the deputy chief of the Arataki Gang, I, Kuki Shinobu apologize for my boss's actions. If you would humbly accept this bouquet of Small Lamp Grass as an apology."

Diluc took the bouquet of flowers, "No need to worry, I fully accept your apology." Diluc rushed off before Itto could wake up again.

Diluc decided he had enough of interviewing people from Inazuma today. Just talking to Itto was way too much for him. Diluc wasn't much of a chatter, and this drained him. As he started towards the city gate, he saw Kaeya from a bit away. Diluc rushed in order to not interact with Kaeya, but Kaeya noticed Diluc and walked his way over before Diluc had the chance to escape.

"Well well well, lady Diana has returned from her unexpected disappearance yesterday. Where is this fine lady off too in such a rush?" Kaeya did a respectful bow, clearly mocking Diluc in public.

Diluc put on a public face, "Captain Kaeya, a pleasure to see you today, I am on my way to Dawn Winery to relax and unwind from the day I've had."

Kaeya smirked, obviously planning something to annoy Diluc, "Well well, I cannot let a lady go off to somewhere far without an escort. I will be glad as a Knight of Favonius to lead you all the way to Dawn Winery."

Diluc groaned, he wanted nothing to do with Kaeya, "With all due respect Captain Kaeya, I am fully capable of protecting myself in case of any monster attack."

"Yes, I am fully aware, but there is another reason for wanting to escort you, my friend here Thoma wants to visit the Dawn Winery, he is originally from Mondstadt and would love to see Mondstadt maids in action," Thoma appeared behind Kaeya out of thin air and gave a nervous smile.

"Mr Kaeya, there is no need to indulge on my selfish request. I only wish it, there is no need to bother lady Diana while she is tired."

Kaeya smirked at Thoma, "Oh but Sir Thoma, lady Diana loves guests. She may be a busy, yet beautiful woman, but whenever she has guests, she is more than willing to let you visit. In fact she rather keeps you there as long as possible, right lady Diana."

A blatant lie from Kaeya, Diluc started fuming a bit. But something about Thoma's pure eyes and Diluc didn't have the heart to say no.

"I would love Sir Thoma to come to my mansion and see my maids at work. I'm sure my maids could learn some useful tactics to use around the house. I see this as a win for both parties." Diluc did a curtsey, to respect Thoma.

Thoma brighten up and the three of them walked out the city gate, towards Dawn Winery.
