    Summary

    “Ah.” Diluc hands a tall glass of Dandelion Wine to a woman waiting nearby. “I meant to ask you about him, actually.”

    “Oh?” Now it’s Kaeya’s turn to raise an eyebrow. “What about him?” Kaeya raises his glass to his lips, peering at Diluc over the rim. A warning delivered with a diamond-pupiled eye. Careful what you say next.


    Alternatively: After the threat against Mondstadt is defeated, the citizenry flocks to the taverns to celebrate. Among them are Kaeya and Diluc, being remarkably civil to one another, and between them passes a discussion regarding a certain alchemist and a battle on a bridge.

    Summary

    He shouldn't be thinking like that. Everything was well in the end. Those who found out about Albedo accepted him. Albedo was safe, and Durin had been… taken care of. And yet, he just couldn't stop thinking about what-ifs. What if someone decided that Albedo was untrustworthy? What if it turned out that they didn’t plan well enough? What if Albedo was too confident, putting himself as bait? Sure, everyone agreed on that, and he and Kaeya discussed it later in private. It was their best bet. The safest bet. But what if… What if…

    Or. After the battle with the monsters, Kaeya withdrew to dress his wounds and think about his own past. Of what Albedo's trial could mean to him. Luckily, he doesn't have to go through these dark thoughts alone.

    Summary

    “The name of Khaenri’ah alone carries a heavy sort of connotation, for those who have heard the name. For them to know two highly ranked officials hail from such a place…I don’t believe it would bode well. Especially not after everything that just happened.”

    “No, of course not.” Kaeya leans against a bookcase and lets out a dry laugh. “The Chief Alchemist and formerly accused is actually an artificial human brought to life by some ancient alchemical art no one has ever heard of, and the Quartermaster and defense attorney of the accused is actually a sleeper agent planted in the city as a child to infiltrate of one of the most influential aristocratic families. That news would most definitely bode well with the citizens of Mondstadt.”

    “Certainly not,” Albedo muses, absently doodling in an open notebook. “The charges against me may have been false this time, but were our origins to get out…” He taps his pencil against his lower lip. “The legends told to the people of Teyvat do not look kindly upon our own.”


    Alternatively: The private musings of Khaenri'ah's wayward princes, and their reasons for being. Careful—you never know who might be listening.

    Summary

    Erasure.

    That's what Verso wants most. It's as conflicting as the thought of dealing with her grief over losing all of them.
