Diluc was resting in his bed Noelle pacing the floor in the dinning room "Noelle please calm down" Adaline says putting a plate of salad on the table for Noelle "why don't you take master diluc food to him"

Noelle takes the tray of food carrying it up the stairs to his room opening the door putting the food on his nightstand

'I wish I could help you' then she gets an idea running to her room she changes into a casual outfit that adaline got her

"Adaline I'm going out!" She yelled opening the door "come back before dinner!" Noelle puts on a mask covering her mouth tying up her hair

She was going into mondstadt

'Keep calm Noelle you got this' she walked through the door no one giving any second looks 'ah flora still has her shop'

Walking over to flora she looks at the flowers "what would you like to buy?" Flora asked smiling "oh I would like some Cecilia's and a few lamp flowers" flora nodded "would you like it styled at a Bouquet?" Noelle nodded "yes thank you" flora looked at the flowers she had

"Mk you can pay now and it will be ready in a few minutes" Noelle takes out her mora bag giving her the money "I'll be back soon I need to get a few other things"

Flora nodded and Noelle walks off 'next I need a gift' she walked into the cats tail finding diona "Exuse me miss I would like a drink to go?" Diona sighed "which drink?" "The green Mineta please" diona rises an eyebrow "a non-alcoholic drink?" Noelle nodded handing her the mora diona looked her up and down "sure gimme a sec"

Diona mixes grapes and mint together giving it to Noelle "thank you!" Noelle says taking the drink leaving she starting to go to flora "no way" she turns seeing Bennett staring at her 'SHI-'

"Oh umm hello Bennett" "THE-" she covers his mouth "shhh-shh-shush" she looks around "keep it down" she whispered Bennett nodded as she let go "your actually here!" he whisper yells

"I'm here on personal business so keep it on the down low" Noelle walks to flora Bennett following close " personal business? Like for the dark knight hero?" Noelle nodded "here's your flowers!" Flora says handing her the Bouquet

"Ooo is that for him?" Noelle nodded walking out of mondstadt Bennett still following "it's a beautiful bouquet is he sick? is he hurt? I can help!" Noelle sighs "Bennett I love your enthusiasm and I love that you want to help but right now he is resting and I'm just doing this because I care about him"

"He's master diluc isent he" Noelle trips a little "how did you-" "I don't know the the pieces just clicked i'm not dense like Barbara or jean" Noelle holds his shoulder "please don't tell anyone if word gets out all hell will break loose" Bennett nodded

"you can trust me dark maiden" Noelle Sighs in relief "thank you" "Soooooo can I come?" "No, sorry Bennett"

Noelle arrives at the winery "Adaline is master diluc still asleep?" "No he's awake and eating, why?" Noelle runs up the stairs knocking on diluc door "come in"

She pulls off her mask opening the door, diluc putting down his utensils "ah, Noelle, hello" she holds up The bouquet and drink "I got you a few things" diluc smiles "oh you didn't have to" he says as Noelle puts both on the stand

"I hope you enjoy it" "say Noelle" "yes master diluc?" He stops himself from saying something "You know what never mind you may leave" Noelle nodded leaving his room For him to rest

'I'll wait a little' diluc thinks taking a sip of the drink 'now isn't the time' he was going to ask Noelle to become part of his family, as his daughter but he feels as though she has enough on her plate already
