[ It doesn't matter; she's having a good time. ]
[About a week after Hijikata and Kaeya's last run-in, they happen to cross paths in Sunwaning (because of course Hijikata couldn't be arsed to follow up on their agreement with a phone call), and this time the samurai can't extricate himself with work excuses! (He doesn't really want to, either.) That same evening the two of them meet in a rustic bar in the city centre.]
I hope you brought a big wallet. Tonight's on you, after all.
[Honestly, Kaeya doesn't have to worry too much - Hijikata likes to drink, but he gets smashed relatively fast!]

[ Albedo's gift comes in a medium sized boxed. It's neatly, but plainly, wrapped with a blue bow on top. On the inside is what seems to be a decent quality camera and all the essentials for it. There's also a neatly written note: ]
Happy Birthday, Kaeya -
I hope that this finds you well, and that you take the time to enjoy the freedom that art can bring to you. You have an eye for it.
- Albedo

Ha, that depends entirely on you and how well you can hold your liqueur, my friend.
[He really didn't mind, though. Even if Nightwake's prices were a bit steeper than Sunwaning. Alas, he did owe Hijikata and he wasn't about to be stingy about it either. It was a massive appreciation what Hijikata did for a kid Kaeya.]
Now, let's see what they have here...
[They sat down at an empty table near the bar itself, and Kaeya perused the menu for a bit. While he was alright with beer and cocktails and whatnot, his main vice was wine. Once he found a good red wine, he decided to start with that.]

[Hijikata is happy to order a bottle of wine to share with Kaeya. Back in Edo he almost always drinks sake, but his isekai adventures have helped him diversity his taste in alcohol!]
Well then, Cavalry Capain, how've you been? Did anything interesting happen to you lately?
[He really does want to hear about any quests or other adventures Kaeya has been on!]

Kaeya will receive a present from Ren; it's three sets of different earrings. There's also some Christmas Cake with it.
The note says;
"Happy Holidays, Kaeya
I know it's been a while since we talked, but I wanted to get you something anyway. I hope you like them.
Sincerely,
Ren"

Hello, Kaeya. The confessions happening anonymously has me thinking there is something I need to tell you. I think it is far too long overdue. And, so you don't get worried unnecessarily, it has to do with myself and my Master.
If you'd like to meet somewhere, there's a place that has some good sweets we can meet at.
[ Attached address. ]

Two hours is fine. See you then.
[Kaeya was waiting inside the establishment with the promised good sweets (he could even smell it from here) at exactly two hours as promised. Two hours was a long time and he was, admittedly, a little antsy about whatever serious conversation Albedo wanted with him.
So, he got them a table and was nursing a cup of coffee. He lifted his hand when he saw the man in question.]

[ Maybe he should be nervous about this. It's not like he's really talked about things like this with many people. But he's not nervous. He's actually pretty excited to be able to share things with a friend, which isn't exactly something he'd imagined he'd be feeling. But Kaeya is important to him. He sees the young man seated and orders himself a hot chocolate before taking a seat. ]
Hey. I can order us some pastries.
[ Albedo loves his sweets. ]
I swear I'm not putting anything off, though. I'm actually pretty glad to share.

[Kaeya couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.]
I didn't think you were, but what has you so glad to share?
[He also advised what kind of pastry he wanted. As he wasn't big on sweets unlike a certain redhead, Kaeya went with an apple turnover as his pastry of choice.]

[ Albedo orders himself a couple treats. A chocolate filled pastry and a small piece of a lemon meringue pie. He takes a deep breath because he thinks it's best if he just gets to the point. ]
I told you that my master was Gold. She was the great sinner. She did a lot of bad things, or so I've heard. But...not everything she did was like that.
[ The hot chocolate is set down and he thanks them for it before taking a sip. ]
She made me. [ Wait - ] Not like in the way people are born, I mean. I mean she made me. Crafted me with Alchemy. Well, the Art of Khemia.
I know this is a lot. I'll give you a moment.

[ The question Kaeya asks has an easy answer. It's why they do anything with Alchemy or Khemia. He doesn't actually know an answer. He didn't ask her questions like that when he was with her. He simply did as she instructed and absorbed information. ]
Most likely to see if she could.
[ And he doesn't fault her for that. Creating a whole person is a big deal. She had done something that seems almost impossible. ]
Well, this also means something else - I'm much older than I look. By over four-hundred years or so. I'm not sure if that will create questions or answer some. But I thought it was important for me to tell you.
I just never really had a reason to tell you, and it never came up. But I realize it's only fair for me to share with you.

Why tell me now, then?
[Gold creating Albedo just to see if she could sounded about right based on the stories he heard from his biological father. Of course, 500 years of virtually all oral story telling was definitely going to have some things change or evolve but Kaeya wasn't going to delve into it all that much.
He didn't have a reason to.]
The only question it creates is how does being created through Khemia give you a longer lifespan, but it's not something I need to know either. Klee and Alice are also a long life race, so it isn't that unusual.
