So he's thankful when Diluc appears to drop the subject, opting to sit right by Kaeya's side instead.

And, even though he's terrified of being pushed away (because that's what happened the last time he tried to do this, he finds himself leaning against Diluc. Both for the support and the reassurance that his sworn brother is really here. ] ... I'm really glad you're here.
