[ wherever diluc is... xie lian is there too now! he's hurrying to find him, and upon spotting his friend, offers him a smile and a bow. san lang is in ferret form on his shoulder; as usual, he bows too. ]
Mr. Diluc! May I borrow you for just a moment? I have something for you.
... Ah, it's - not just an orange. [ maybe you should have led with this xie lian. ] Um, if you give it to someone, they will heal as if I had used my spiritual energy on them - roughly the same equivalent. I'd like you to hold onto it for the next week, since I don't really need it.
I... there is something else I must ask you that is tangentially related, as well.
... There is a chance that I will have the ability to go and retrieve Baraqiel's missing anchor by slipping into the space between worlds next week. I have planned to do so for some time, but I cannot do it alone.
[ or well. he can. but, rochalizo might rise out of the graveyard and strangle him which would be fair. ] I know that it will be dangerous - it will be a journey similar to the ones many of us have been on, some twice, but I know the place that we are going, as it is my own homeland, and...
[ xie lian pauses for a moment and then - bows, respectfully, at a near ninety degree angle. ]
I would like to take Kaeya with me, but I want to ask your permission, first.
[ straightening again: ] He is someone that has earned my trust beyond all belief, but - I know how important that he is to you, Mr. Diluc. I would hate to put him in harm's way, but I know he is capable, and more so than anything, I will swear upon my own heart and soul that I would defend him with my life.
However, if you would prefer he wouldn't, I can try to find someone else.
[ he's a little taken aback by that, the sudden tone shift just leaves his face blank of expression for a moment.
so baraqiel must be...he pushes the thought away, that's none of his business at this moment. he thinks for a second and then nods, eyes shutting briefly, then opening to look back at xie lian. ]
I appreciate you coming to ask, you are very kind. [ he smiles reassuringly. ]
He would beat himself up about it for the rest of time, if he wasn't there to support you. And I couldn't deny him the opportunity.
I know you will take good care of him, you both will watch out for one another, and that puts me at ease. So please, by all means, take him on the journey with you.
