Of all people you think deserve to be spoiled, I wouldn't have thought you would consider me as one of them.

Is that so? Well, I would gladly accept this challenge. I'm sure my stomach and I will be able to handle whatever it is you throw at us~

[callouses]

Maybe not now, but as a child! You must've been an adorable child, given how cute you are now.♪

And very well! I'll see when the next best opening for a game of hot pot might be. It's the best with at least three or four people, so I might invite my lord and lady to play with us as well~

[useable]

I think you're the only person in the whole of Teyvat who would think to call me cute.

[ because no one else would dare say it. other than his own mother, probably. ]

Oh, then I shall be on my best behavior for when we all get to play together. I can only hope that I won't be ganged up on when that day comes~ Not saying that I can't take you three on my own, but I am new to your game, after all.

[callouses]

As long as you know I mean it as a compliment! I like the thought of being the only person to call you something, too.

Ah, not to worry! My lady will be kind, but I can't make any promises about my lord... he's a little like you, but in a far more devious, pleasant way. Does that make sense?

[useable]

A little like me?

Have you ever had feelings for your lord, then?

[ gets right to the point, this one. ]

[callouses]

When I was little, I had a puppy crush on him, yeah. But there's nothing like that now! He's like family to me. I haven't had feelings for anyone for a long time until now.

And you? Am I competing for your affections unknowingly?

[useable]

Did you ever tell him that you had a crush on him?

Ah, please~ There are not a lot of people who are crazy enough to pursue the likes of me.

[callouses]

No... I figure there's no need for that, especially now. He knows how important he is to me and that's all that matters.

But what about the ones special enough for you to pursue?

[useable]

Do you happen to know of anyone that I've been pursuing for my own interest?

Other than yourself.

[callouses]

Really? Just me?

[ if he had a tail, it would be wagging!! ]

[useable]

I can imagine the cute face you're wearing right now. I hope there's no one there to see it.

[callouses]

You'll get to see it the next time you come visit. It'll be a lot like how I feel about seeing you again.♪

[useable]

But what I'm trying to say is the cute expression you're wearing should be reserved for me~ You can't go showing it around to everyone. They might think it's for them.

[callouses]

Is that so? Alright then. This kind of smile will only be reserved for you, whether we're face to face or not.

Just promise me you'll always come back safe and sound?

[useable]

You need not worry, Thoma. I always come out on top in every battle I face.

Most of the time anyway.

[ he has to be honest. that time with the traveler is the anomaly. ]

[callouses]

That's not entirely reassuring!

But I suppose the most I can ask for is... just remember that there's someone out there, besides your family, who's waiting for you.

[useable]

Then...

I promise to come back to you in one piece. How's that?

[callouses]

... okay. ♡ I'll take that. And I promise I'll always take care of you when you do.

[useable]

You're going to make me expect a royal treatment every time I come back to you.

[callouses]

It's the least I can do for someone I genuinely care about! Plus, it'll make you want to come back faster, right?

[useable]

A promise of combat is usually what makes me want to go somewhere faster.

But when it concerns you, just the thought of being with you is enough.

🎀

[callouses]

I'm holding you to that too, then. Coming back to me in one piece and as fast as you can.
