Diluc’s relationship with the Knights of Favonius isn’t… great. Due to past accidents regarding his father’s death, he left the Knights of Favonius for good, his ‘hatred’ for them still lingering to this day.

Diluc protects Mondstadt his own way, as he doesn’t approve how the Knights do. That being said, how could he have fallen for a knight?

He never knew he would fall in love, much less for a knight. Yet here he is, secretly watching over you as you practiced on the training grounds.

Convincing himself it wasn’t the way your eyes lit up at every hit, sweat trickling down your forehead, and how your tongue sticks out to wet your lips wasn’t the reason why he was staring, he tries to look away. Keyword: tries.

He hopes Kaeya or Lisa don’t catch him drooling at you, knowing they’ll both tease him endlessly for it every second they get. Even worse, they might tell you he has been ogling you.

What was it about you that fascinated him so much? Was it your beauty? Your strength, or your grace perhaps? He doesn’t know. He does know he’s oddly attracted to you for whatever reason it may be.
