[He chuckled, taking his own bite of the food and humming in delight. Diluc was always an excellent cook, due in more part to Adelinde he was certain. They always did bug her to learn to cook.]
I had thought it was too soon for the wine to be ready. I'm glad to hear that though.
[And not just because it was wine. As uneasy as this truce was, there were some things Kaeya was always going to enjoy. He just hadn't gotten to experience even simply having breakfast with him in several years.]
Mm. I'm still trying to source some of the ingredients.
[He falls silent for a minute while he eats, then slows thoughtfully and sits back in his chair as he swallows a mouthful of food.]
It's funny... I never cared to involve myself much in the day to day of the winery, yet now I'm here... [Diluc trails off, then shakes his head and sits up straight again.]
Maybe, but it's not like you have a whole staff either. It makes sense.
[It wasn't like Kaeya had been any better. For all the time he spent at the winery, there wasn't much he knew about running one. He knew some just by osmosis but he knew he likely would not have been successful at all had he been there to run things while Diluc was gone.
Honestly, the staff was just that good.]
For what it's worth, I'm sure it'll come out great.
[Diluc really did owe the smooth running of the winery in his abscence to Elzer, without whom the place would have certainly fallen while the Ragnvindr heir was gone. It was only thinks to him and Jean that Diluc was able to keep himself mostly set apart from the day to day running of the winery to focus on the intelligence network he had been part of since his return.
And to focus on the protection of Mondstadt.
He smiles faintly, not looking up.]
Thank you, Kaeya. As promised, you'll be the first to know.

I suppose it doesn't matter.
