[ In all honesty, he’s not sure what’s come over him. The other man’s company has been pleasant from the outset, but now he finds himself more and more infatuated with his every little move. It’s not typical of him at all to get so hung up on the minutiae of mortals, let alone a singular one. ]
Mm.

It truly is a far cry from Liyue. I look forward to seeing more of it.
BOY IS ZHONGLI GOING TO FEEL STUPID WHEN HE REALIZES THIS IS HIS SOULMATE :V
[If Diluc realizes what Zhongli is trying to mask, he gives no indication of it.
He's rather pointedly ignoring it, as a matter of fact, and decides to focus on the conversation and finding something to busy his hands with behind the bar. There are some glasses that could do with being rinsed before going back to the kitchen for full washing, so he starts there.]
I hope you enjoy your time here.
And should you get your fill of the city, there's a small settlement south of here called Springvale. They're generally welcoming, and have an excellent chef among their number who is happy to cook for guests. It's worth a visit.
[Brook specializes in meat dishes, so there will be no issues there.]

[ When Diluc turns away to busy himself with dishes, Zhongli finds his eyes following the line of his torso, down, down to his hips, and the instant he catches himself staring he decides he really has had too much to drink.
He starts in on his meal as a counterbalance to all the alcohol, because even if things have taken a bit of a turn, he doesn’t want to depart just yet.

Thank you, for the advice as well as the invitation. I would quite like to see the Winery, at least.
[ The way his eyes flick back up to Diluc seems to say “and you, too” though he doesn’t offer as much out loud.
In the end, Zhongli’s stay in Mondstadt is fairly brief, but he always finds his way back to Diluc regardless. Like he’s drawn by a thread tied to the other man. Would that he could explain it, but surely it must not be anything special.
