Normal day as ever in the tavern,kaeya and rosaria getting drunk,venti signing ballads to any traveler who wants to hear,and a certain red head who deals with this nonsense every day

Kaeya:
Hey diluc~

Diluc:
No

Kaeya:
Aww come on,I haven't even said anything yet!

Diluc:
Well by the tone of your voice I can tell it's not going to be good

Rosaria:
I told you it wasn't going to work..

Kaeya:
Trust me it'll work one day

Diluc:
Highly doubt that

The door opened,a very tired paimon and traveler after a long day of fighting monsters.it wasn't uncommon to see them here

Traveler:
"A water..."

Diluc:
As usual..

Kaeya:
Ah seems the traveler is joining us this evening,anything interesting happen?

Traveler:
"I watched a mushroom eat a slime,is that considered interesting?"

Kaeya:
...what-

Traveler:
"Don't question it"

Venti:
Well I'd say that's interesting indeed

Paimon:
Oh please you'd find anything interesting if it gives you inspiration for a song

Diluc:
She's not wrong

Venti:
Well you got me there..ehe~

The bartender passed the glass of water to the honorary knight,while venti was trying to grab a bottle of wine.which diluc quickly took out of his reach

Venti:
Hey!

Diluc:
Venti need I remind you that you're almost at your limit tonight?

Venti:
Already!?

Rosaria:
Hey don't feel bad,this is my final one too

Traveler:
"I will never understand you people and your obsessions over alcohol will I"

Kaeya:
Hah,you got that right~

Venti:
Well then i suppose I'll just have to find myself a drink else where-

Diluc:
You also need to stay here to pay off your bill

Venti:
Dang it forgot about that part...

As the night went on,the patrons eventually left the tavern one by one,even paimon getting sleepy couldn't keep herself to stay

Kaeya:
Diluc please one more for your brother~

Diluc:
For the last time you don't have family privileges here

Traveler:
"At least try to sober up before you stumble home?"

Kaeya:
Well excuse me,I walk home alone just fine!

Cue kaeya trying to prove himself only to fall flat on his face.the two of you just sigh knowing you're going to have to carry him yet another night

Traveler:
"You'd think he would learn by now"

Diluc:
Once you take a sip you can't go back,this is why I like the fact you don't drink often

Traveler:
"That and most people think I'm underaged"

Diluc:
Eh that too

Traveler:
"Well might as well start dragging him now,paimon has really bad separation anxiety"

Each night it feels like this lunatic somehow gets heavier.you get him to the knights of Favonius building right before it starts raining

Diluc:
It's always a pain walking to the winery in the rain...

Traveler:
"Ive asked you before if want help to use the waypoints"

Diluc:
I still have business on the walk there,I just find it more convenient

Traveler:
"Well alright,not like you don't have your coat to use as an umbrella anyway"

Diluc:
Then I'll see you tomorrow if you come by again

As the traveler finds a place to put the teapot diluc walks towards the winery,contemplating about how it's just been another boring night
