𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑤𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎 𝑠𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑛 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙, anticipating and then seeking it out. A flash of red immediately drew his attention to Diluc's location, which was still risky. He clicked his tongue; so much for distraction. His fringe is caught in leather-clad fingers as he watches and observes their patrol, assessing the next move. Even Diluc had every chance of being caught where he stood, -- the alert was too high. And with the dawn just around the corner, the shadows of darkness couldn't hide them for much longer.

While Diluc had some cover of his identity, and more was at stake than Kaeya, it would be a more dire scenario for him. An idea. A decision that was made without discussion. Alberich may end up worse, but Ragnvindr would at least have an advantage. Most couldn't predict Kaeya's cleverness, always so well hidden and close to his chest. This, may not have been one of his most ingenious moments, however. A substantial head start would allow him to get rid of the guards if he could get them far enough away. So, with his feet propelling him forward, he runs.

"Hey!"

Their shouts echo as they briefly discuss who the stranger might be, whether he damaged the cart, and who should pursue him and stay to help the merchant. A few seconds was enough time to give him a chance. Huffing under his breath. "Idiots." Regulated breathing as he sprinted through the thicket of trees, which would ultimately lead back to where he just was, but it might just be enough of a goose chase that he could get lost beyond the gates and disappear.

Diluc's predicted comments echoed in his ear -- that his plan wasn't the wisest he had ever devised - that it had too great a chance of failure. This task was, after all, a collaborative effort between them. In any case, Kaeya hadn't intended to abandon his damsel in distress for too long. ( And Diluc would never hear him refer to him in such a choice of words ) While locating him afterwards may be his next challenge, for now, the guards jumped at the opportunity to follow the flamboyant man into the wild and the soon-to-be returning sunlight chasing Kaeya even quicker.

𝐈𝐅 𝐈𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄, diluc was confident that he could trust kaeya in casual delinquency. an unfair sentiment, perhaps, considering kaeya was captain of a nonexistent calvary ––– but diluc still held strongly to a sense of bitterness that might not ever fall from his tongue. it, at the very least, no longer sat at the back of his throat and threatened to choke him. at least most of the time.

the man's dead weight was a heavy burden, to say the least, and diluc can feel a small trickle of sweat slip at his temple. waiting was a heavier burden still in light of this. the moments ticked on at the rate of a snail's sluggish crawl; dragging on as the stars above on a clear night seemed to twinkle in their distant laughter at his misfortune. shifting the man's weight on his shoulder, he gives thought to the prospect that thinking he is the unfortunate one on this night is actually quite selfish. but all's well that is deserved, and diluc has never had any qualms with doling out appropriate punishment.

a memory flashes across his mind with the sharp shock of lightning and the intensity of rolling thunder, and his grip on the body in his arms tightens considerably. perhaps not all punishments had been seen through ––– whether due to untamed, untested youth or due to the unfettered ache of a heart already shattered under the perpetual fall of rain. but it had taken him little time to harden into his present jaded facade, that much was certain. that night had been the first of many that came after, chipping away at him with a steadfastness he had welcomed.

a melodious hum that carries on the wind like a joyful butterfly cuts through his thoughts like the slice of a sharpened blade. ah. kaeya.

his heels kick into motion ––– if they did not move quickly, they were doomed from the start ––– and he adjusts the mask that sits on his nose in preparation, tucking hair behind his ear as an additional precaution. it wasn't exactly a common color in this region of teyvat, of that much he was certain. it doesn't take long for the sound of a thudding tumble to reach his ears as he approached, sticking to shadows, and the cry of a merchant lamenting his produce. the guards' footfalls roll like the memory of thunder not long passed.

                                      ❛ this rope was cut clean through, ❜     one says.

it was their chance to slip by the gate, then. he does so with his body pressed as low as he can manage under the man's unconscious weight, sticking close to the city's wall. a shock of blue hair isn't difficult to spot amidst the greenery, and diluc slips passed him; whistling for his attention like a fluttering bird call to garner his acquiescence so that he might follow.

                                                           ❛ what was that ? ❜

the baritone of a guard's attention is caught by the sound, diluc's own caught by the guard's head snapping in the corner of his eye, in his direction. shit. so much for easy, he thinks with a huff of breath pushing past his lips. he presses to the stone wall not far from kaeya, desperately hoping the height of the bushes might be enough cover. grimacing, he notes that dawn itself is fast approaching ––– the light slowly creeping over the horizon.

𝐴 𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑘? 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑒. He was still groggy and in pain, and the lack of hydration caused a dryness to his tongue - making swallowing and salivating even harsher - but his body would certainly be in worse shape from hunger - yet he felt nothing. As a possibility, in his asleep state, the 'Doctor' may have prescribed or injected him with anything necessary to make him survive. Hm.

Heavy eyelids blink once, twice, one still hidden behind his eyepatch - thankfully - that wasn't something he wished to confront. As he blinks a third time, he is forced to open his eyes wide by a cold-blooded touch from leather. Never let them see you falter, don't show weakness. He learned that from his father - but what good did that do? It was his preference to be referred to as cold-hearted by some. Always one step ahead and a secret behind a door, even when anyone thought they were any fraction closer to unlocking the mystery of Kaeya Alberich.

The smirk on his face fades ever so slightly, and his brows knit in anger. Oh, he had no intention of knowing him or even learning about his plans. However, perhaps he could if he anticipated a benefit. In any case, he would not enjoy leisurely afternoons drinking Death After Noon with this man. "They'll be looking for me." His reply is emotionless. "So, I would suggest you--" pulling at the binds on his wrists, "devise an alternative plan. Or this one ... might not end so pleasantly for you." Then, the Cavalry Captain smirks, "Just a suggestion."

𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ; not only did it prove to affect the senses and mind, thus making reactions much slower. It left plenty of room for suggestion. Such was the case for the Cavalry Captain. As the wine and conversation had flowed at the event, it had become increasingly easy for Dottore to lure him away from it; knocking him out and disappearing with him. Oh, he was aware that by now, Mondstadt would likely be aware of their missing Captain. But it mattered little to him, it was hardly a concern. How long must you sleep? He pondered; growing ever more bored by the second. "Perhaps this one is not quite as strong as I had hoped."

Was that his wall? The human's did not possess the strength he needed to even begin this trial? Yet somehow, he doubted the likes of an Archon would happen to fall into his lap so easily either. Frustration tugged his lips into a frown. Perhaps you should have taken the other one. What was his name again? Another detail that was insignificant. That one had tried, and failed to take his revenge. Although many Fatui would argue that, after all; he had slain a fair few of them.

Walking back over to where Kaeya was, a smile etched on his face as he realised he was finally awake. "My, my… how clever." He laughed, though there was no amusement in his voice. "I was beginning to think you would never awaken. A week is an awfully long time to wait." It hadn't been that long, it had barely been twelve hours. Gripping hold of his chin tight, Dottore always had a fascination for things that came from Khaenri'ah. His thumb tracing the very edge of the eyepatch. "I do look forward to getting to know you."

" you seem to be good at winning the hearts of ill-tempered creatures. " from dainsleif. from, @calamitus

𝑨 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒆 𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒊𝒕. "Oh, Dainsleif, you flatter me~" Kaeya returns from the bar with two tankards, placing one before the blond. "Me and the owner have a .... complicated history..." He sat opposite him, his uncovered eye flickering over to the redhead. "I have a name for myself here, a reputation. I have dealt with a lot worse than one I'll-tempered bar owner..." A bright blue eye returned to his company for the evening as he raised his drink, taking a small sip. "Compliments on your change of subject, but we both know that's not what you really came here to talk about..."
