Dainsleif gave M/n a bit more confidence in the situation, though M/n did have to apologize due to them having to head to another restaurant to eat but Dainsleif didn't mind and remarked that it was an honor to spend time with him. The two descend the stairs and was immediately faced with Diluc and Zhongli upon touching down on the last step. M/n managed to turn his nerves to steal as they closed in on the other two. "Hiya Diluc, what brings you here?"
"The usual, plus trying to talk some sense into Zhongli."
"Oh, well good-Oh! Please meet Dainsleif, he saved me from a poacher this morning! I wanted to treat him to dinner but I rather take him elsewhere to avoid a drawn-out conflict."That struck a chord with Zhongli, as they conversed about him as if he weren't there and it pissed him off to a new high. M/n said his partings to Diluc and heads out of the restaurant with Dainsleif at his side, now you would have thought that was the end of it, not by a long shot.
Once the two steps foot outside, Zhongli was right behind them, this startles everyone but none more than M/n. "You little brat-"
"Touch my king and I'll make sure you rip your arms off!"
"Epel?!"M/n was pulled behind the taller male as he sized up Zhongli and the dragon smirks, confusing M/n and Diluc; who had run behind Zhongli prepared to stop him no matter the cost. "So this is who you've decided to follow? The tyrant-"
"Watch your tone."It was a borderline growl that shook M/n to his core, he amongst many others was quick to move away just in case the two would fight. However, that when a notification pops in front of his eyes.

M/n's eyes widened and his body moved on its own, now he stood between the two with his arms outstretched. "Knock it off! Are you prepared to face the consequences if you start a fight here and destroy Mondstadt?! Look around you, these people are human and could easily get hurt due to your recklessness!"M/n scolded them much to his and Diluc surprise, Dainsleif nods in approval and agreement. "Could you not torment me for one day? Just one? All I wish is to relax in the sun without a problem and yet it feels you with such animosity to see me enjoying anything! WHY DO YOU HATE ME WHEN ALL I WANT IS TO MAKE UP WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO YOU!?"After M/n yelled at Zhongli, it took all but a moment to remember who he was screaming at in front of all the people he just saved. "It should have been you.."
"Wha-What?"
"You should have been the one who died..."Epel steps forward but M/n holds his hand up; stoping the male in his tracks. M/n wanted to hear everything, no matter if it hurts him or not. "Why? Aren't I a living bring that deserves to live like everyone else?"
".....Why couldn't you have been born with silver eyes...If they were silver, Helios would have still been in line for the throne but because you were born with those disgusting gold eyes, he was thrown to the side!"
"You're saying this like I would have known the difference as a child or now! It's not my fault...That.."At random M/n was subjected to a memory...The worst he's seen so far. It was of his parents and Helios, however, Helios had a sword through his chest while kneeling on his knees. From what the current M/n could tell was that he was looking through the crack of a door...He was never supposed to see that but Helios warned him that if he didn't come back, that was probably the case...His death... "Urp-!"
"M-M/n?!"
"Blood...There's blood everywhere..."M/n's mental state broke at the sight that was before his eyes, his stomach turns and his head sways as the memory continues to play through. The last thing he saw was Helios's back hitting the marble floor, further spreading the blood. Helios's head limply falls to the left, burning a traumatic sight; his lifeless eyes staring dead at a young M/n as blood continued to soak the floor. "Say something!"
"My parents...They killed him..."M/n mutter's loud enough for Zhongli to hear while he staggers a bit. Diluc immediately took notice and grabbed his right hand as Epel grabs his left. "Let's get you back to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, you need to rest."
"O-Okay..."
