Darknight's Alibi and Ally

Later outside the temple

"You two seem quiet today." Noted Diluc, glancing at us.

"........" was our response.

"Also, I hope you can keep me updated about any news regarding this." Replied Diluc.

"Sure, no problem, Master Diluc." I replied.

"Sure, anything you say Master Diluc." Replied Paimon nervously.

"There's nothing to be scared about me." Sighed Diluc glancing at us.

"Yes, sir, I mean Master Diluc." Paimon replied quickly.

I almost tripped over in laughter.

Diluc once again had trouble trying to keep his serious expression. So he looked away when he smiled a tiny bit.

How cute. Wait, Why this thought again.

I suddenly realized, I have to tell him something else.

"Oh right, Master Diluc, I was going to tell you how a few Knights of Favonius are suspcious about the identity of the Dark Night." I began.

"This, I know is going to happen, I already have a plan." Replied Diluc.

"What's your plan?" I asked, curious.

"Come meet me at my manor tomorrow and I will tell you." Replied Diluc as he walked away.

"See you tomorrow." I waved as I walked back, towards the City of Monstadt.

"See you." Replied Diluc with a wave.

The next day

Paimon and I went to Diluc's manor to meet up about his plan.

"Hello, You made it." Replied Diluc, smiling a little.

"Good Afternoon, Master Diluc." I replied.

"Hello, good afternoon Master Diluc." Replied Paimon.

"Just call me Diluc." Replied Diluc as he ordered the maids to pour tea for us.

"Thanks for the tea." I replied before I drank it.

"Mmhmm, tastes nice." Goes Paimon.

"Care to ask you a favor?" Asked Diluc, glancing at me.

"Sure, anything." I replied.

"Could you please fetch me some Corola Mist flowers please?" Asked Diluc.

"Sure, I'll head out right now." I replied.

"Where do you usually find them?" Asked Paimon.

"Around the pond by Dawn Winery." Replied Diluc.

"Alright, thanks." I replied as I walked out of the door.

Paimon and I quickly found some mist flowers by the lake. After defeating a couple cryo and water slimes, we headed towards Diluc's manor.

"I'm going to find Diluc." I replied.

"I'm going to explore around this place." Decided Paimon. 

I guwss Paimon decided to stay in the vineyard later to probably sneak around and eat grapes.

Chuckling at the thought, I stepped inside the manor with the mist flowers.

"Ah, your back." Replied Diluc, greeting me.
