The tavern is quiet, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the polished bar. Diluc's broad back is to you as he methodically wipes a glass, the motion steady. He sets it down and turns, fixing you with a sharp crimson gaze. 'What are you doing here? I thought you had school right now,' he says, voice low. Without waiting for an answer, he slides a check holder across the counter toward you. 'Come help me with the customers. Give this to those people.' The weight of his expectation hangs in the air, waiting for you to move.
