Love or hatred? (Diluc x y/n) OLD VER

2:Angel's Share

Third person POV
Venti was still dragging (y/n) with him when he entered the tavern. Lumine and Paimon came in after. A man with red hair and red eyes glared at Venti, he seems to be annoyed by the sight of Venti. "Master Diluc, one bottle of Dandelion wine please!" Said Venti cheerfully. "Are you planning to pay for it?" Said the man rather fiercely. Venti smiled and replied, "No but Lumine will pay!" Lumine looked at Venti, eyes wide.

"No you Tone-Deaf-Bard! Pay yourself!" Yelled Paimon, putting her hands on her hip. Venti made a sad puppy face. "Please?" Venti was giving paimon and Lumine the puppy eyes, or at least the best puppy eyes he could give them.

Meanwhile, Diluc was talking to (y/n). "I haven't seen you in Mondstadt before, are you a traveler too?" Asked Diluc, barely any emotions in his voice. (Y/n) nodded, Diluc could not help but to notice the pyro vision on her belt, the vision shape is of the ones you would see from Snezhnaya.

"Are you from Snezhnaya?" Asked Diluc. (Y/N) was rather surprised by the question, nobody has asked her that question directly before. "Yes," Said (y/n).

Diluc Pov
  I looked at this new traveler from Snezhnaya, she seems nice for someone who came from a place where the Fatui came from. Even thinking of the Fatui makes me feel angry and sad, it was their technology that killed my father after all.

"Well? Whose going to pay for your wine?" I said, giving Venti a stern look. Venti looked nervous already, I won't let him go about drinking my wine and not paying, archon or no archon. "Well uh, can I pay you through a uh...? Perform-" Venti was cut off by (y/n) speaking up.

"I can pay, I don't mind. I have a lot of Mora on me right now anyways, here!" (y/n) paid for the dandelion wine. Venti was beaming at her. Venti picked a table for the group and they sat down. "I wonder why she decided to pay for the wine...she probably knows nothing about that wine addicted bard...Why do I feel all squiggly, ugh!" Diluc watched (y/n) from where he was, still lost in thought.

(Y/N) Pov
I sat down beside Venti, I didn't expect to make some friends so soon. The way the Master Diluc, as Venti called him, looked at me when he said 'Snezhnaya' already gives me the hint that he hates the Fatui in some sort of personal level...I hope he would not have to find out my secret.

"So, Paimon wants to know where you came from (y/n)!" Said paimon. I hesitated for a second and spoke, "I'm from Snezhnaya, and I would consider myself a decent fighter," I looked at Lumine who seems to be deep in thought.

Venti was busy drinking wine, he was probably almost done with the whole bottle when Lumine decided that she wanted to do some exploring. "Huh? Going so soon already, Lumine? Stay with me a little longer please?" Begged Venti. Paimon quickly nudged Lumine towards the exit. I also decided to leave and go explore Mondstadt more, I waved goodbye to Venti and left.
