Diluc continued to sit at the table for who knows how much longer before he got up and walked to his room. He sighed a little bit and began to take his hair out of the ponytail as he walked. It had been a long day, with four visitors to the winery, only one of them he had actually known that they were coming beforehand.
Of course, the main person he hadn't expected to see was Jean. Usually she was busy with work, and ever since he had left the Knights, things had been a little awkward between the two. Though they had both ended up helping the Traveler with Dvalin.
Diluc soon got to his room, changing into his night clothes before laying down in bed and putting out the candle that sat on his bedside table. He was quite tired but wasn't sure how much sleep he would end up getting. He tried to close his eyes and fall asleep, eventually doing so.
Though when morning came around, Diluc woke up pretty early, his dreams being far from pleasant yet again. Ever since Kaeya had initially lost his memory, Diluc had either had nightmares or stayed up late, getting less sleep than he should. Though he was used to staying up late, but the nightmares were starting to cause him to be more tired than usual.
He couldn't quite remember what he had dreamt about when he woke up, but he was sure it had something to do with Kaeya losing his memories. He let out a sigh as he got up from the bed and got dressed for the day.
As he put his hair up in a ponytail, he tried to think of what there was to do that day. He could maybe see about finding another way to jog Kaeya's memory. Though all the attempts of that so far have either had no effect, or have seemingly done the opposite. He wasn't even sure when Albedo would be coming to try and talk to Kaeya again since all he said was that he'd come back 'another day' Though Diluc had some hope that Albedo might be able to bring some of Kaeya's memories back.
Diluc turned to leave his bedroom but looked over towards his reflection. He looked awfully tired. He felt tired too. He just had to hope that no one would notice, especially since he didn't want to sleep in since he'll probably just end up having another nightmare. Diluc shook the thoughts away and left his room, he looked towards Kaeya's room, the door was shut and there was no sounds of movement coming from the room. Kaeya was most likely still asleep, which was fine. It just meant Diluc had time to do other things.
Because Diluc had taken a few days off from work, and those few days were over, he now had to work at the tavern that evening. Maybe he could bring Kaeya with him? Though that was only if the bluenette wanted to go. It wasn't like Diluc could force him to go if he didn't want to.
Rather than going to eat breakfast, Diluc instead went right to his study to work on more paperwork as it had most likely started to pile up again, even if he did work on some the other night. He didn't bother to close the door to the room though, it was either that or it had slipped his mind to do so.
He worked on paperwork until around nine in the morning before getting up to go get breakfast. He also figured he should get Kaeya up soon as well. He didn't want Kaeya to accidentally sleep too late, though he wasn't even sure what time he would normally wake up.
Once Diluc finished eating, he went to go wake Kaeya up. He walked to his brother's room and knocked on the door "Kaeya, are you awake?" He asked. He waited for a few moments before hearing an answer.
"I'm up" Kaeya replied, sitting up in bed. He rubbed his eye a little bit. He got out of bed and grabbed his eyepatch. "I'll be down in a minute" he added, having not heard Diluc walk away. He heard Diluc respond before walking away. Kaeya decided to brush out his hair to make sure there were no knots.
As he looked in the mirror to put the eyepatch in, he tried not to look at the scar over his eye. Even though he's already seen it, he was still refusing to look at it. He looked at his hair in the mirror though, taking notice of how long it was, not that he really minded. He put it in a ponytail before stepping away from the mirror and left his bedroom. He didn't get dressed yet, remaining in his nightclothes for the time being. He walked downstairs where Diluc was waiting for him.
Kaeya gave a small smile when he saw Diluc. The red haired man smiled back a little bit. Though, of course now that Kaeya was face to face with him for the first time that day, he noticed that Diluc looked tired. Though Kaeya had no time to say anything before Diluc spoke "How did you sleep?" He asked. Kaeya thought a little bit "I slept alright, I think" he replied. Though, this time, Diluc didn't question Kaeya's word choice since as far as he was aware, Kaeya did actually sleep alright.
Some time later, Kaeya had gotten his breakfast and ate it and now the two were sitting on a couch. Though he ended up not being able to ask Diluc why the other looked so tired as their conversation had strayed away from how Kaeya slept, and it had seemingly slipped his mind to ask. But anyone can forget something like that with or without memory loss.
"So," Diluc started "What do you want to do today?" He asked, looking at Kaeya as he spoke. Kaeya thought a little bit but ended up shrugging a little bit "I'm not sure" he said. Diluc had expected that kind of answer but it didn't stop him from letting out a sigh. He was quiet for a few moments before he spoke "Why don't we go into the city again" he suggested "And you choose what we do from there" he said. He hoped that another trip to the city would help Kaeya with his memories.
Kaeya nodded a little bit in agreement "Go get dressed then" Diluc said "I'll be here waiting for you" he added. Kaeya nodded again and got up from the couch, walking up to his room. Though as Kaeya walked away, Diluc spoke once again "Don't forget your vision, Kaeya"
Kaeya walked downstairs after a few minutes. Diluc looked at him, taking notice that he had, in fact remembered to grab his vision, but him reminding him probably helped. Nonetheless, Diluc smiled a little bit as his brother, glad he didn't have to make Kaeya go back up to grab his vision "Are you ready to go?" He asked "Yes" Kaeya replied
The two headed out and began heading to the city. Diluc ended up talking the majority of the way there, he still wasn't fully used to the fact that Kaeya had become more timid after losing his memories. Diluc had grown accustomed to Kaeya talking more than him, not the other way around.
They eventually made it to the city though, and Diluc let Kaeya lead the way. As the two walked around, Diluc kept an eye on his brother, though as he did so he couldn't help but think about how something like this looked to the people of Mondstadt. It was known that Diluc and Kaeya didn't really get along yet they were now being seen with one another. Did the people in the city know why they haven't seen Kaeya working the past few days?
Diluc tried not to get too distracted by his thoughts. After all, that's not what he should be focusing on. And he was sure some people were aware of the fact Kaeya got hurt, after all, at least one person had to have seen the debris fall on him, right?
Diluc watched as Kaeya walked around, he wasn't sure where Kaeya wanted to go. Kaeya himself wasn't sure either, he was looking at the scattered debris that still remained after the storm. Everything hadn't been cleaned up yet. As they walked around, Diluc spotted a familiar blond, and it seemed that Kaeya had as well.
