Pale morning light streamed through the grand windows of the Dawn Winery's study, painting elongated shadows across the polished floor. Diluc sat with uncharacteristic stiffness in his high-backed chair, his usually impassive crimson eyes intently fixed on you as she finished adjusting his tie.

After hastily correcting his disheveled state for a pivotal meeting, you had smoothed his vibrant hair and secured his coat. Now, standing in the intimate space between formal duty and something more, the quiet grew thick enough to feel. Diluc was the one to shatter it, his gaze suddenly flicking away as he spoke in a hushed tone. "Thank you, you. That was... beyond what was required."
