[ hello hello. lucien is sprawled on one of the chairs in the observation room, staring out into ... literal space.
the clothes are relatively simple, a linen shirt with a deep-vee because some things never fucking change, a black coat with bits of hardened leather in vulnerable places, and simple black trousers and boots. everything looks extremely worn, like that look clothes get when they've been repeatedly put through hell and then washed. all his all stuff is at his feet - including his second outfit, which seems to mostly consist of a large fur-lined coat. apparently he's not planning on staying in his room much.
this is fine. ]
Well? Do you feel they answered all our questions?

[ diluc takes note of lucien's things quietly. his own clothes are in impeccable condition (he's in his default outfit ignore the icon(s)), expertly tailored and of high-quality materials and embellishments. they are worn neatly as well, but comfortably like an old habit.
he stands a respectful distance away from lucien, gazing out into the vast expanse of Space himself. his expression shows the faintest hint of wonder, though it is difficult to parse behind his perpetually flat stare. ]
I'd say they've barely managed to answer half, if that. It seems suspect that all of us conveniently share the same amnesia, regarding our "contracts".

[ diluc arches a brow slightly, as if he were actually expecting just the opposite to be true for lucien. (he was...) ]
I find action to be more satisfying than words. ...Or screaming, for that matter. Easier to clear the mind when you've exhausted the body.
...There is also a bar, if all else fails. [ for lucien, he means. ]

[ having spoken of the bar, they are there now! diluc is cleaning every last glass with almost obsessive focus. and when he's finished with those, he moves onto wiping down the counter and whatever bottles and various accoutrements are there.
he is very quiet, but everything he does not say is projected loudly in a stormcloud of emotions. ]
...Would you like a drink?

[ terrible. alcohol? or the joke? either way it does manage to alleviate the mood just a bit. he huffs softly. ]
Coming right up.
[ he gets mixing...! good thing he neatly arranged the bar's entire stock, earlier.
lucien will receive what is ostensibly one (x1) moscow mule: vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, mint garnish, and Fancy Secret Ingredient that makes it Really Fancy. it's definitely heavy on the vodka. ]

[ he watches the mixologist at work, honestly a little confused by this. ]
Luke spent a lot of his time messing around with this stuff. Is this a thing? Never been anywhere they spent more time than pouring it in a glass, and that was luxury service.

[ did he... ]
...Did you want wine instead?
[ diluc hasn't actually poured any wine since he's arrived. he would feel weird serving something that wasn't his own stock. (but would entertain the request, if asked.)
but anyway, that is a joke. he clarifies, ]
Mixed drinks are quite popular at the tavern. We spend some time developing specialty beverages, for those who cannot partake in alcohol.

[ he's watching him a bit owlishly, because he is a tryhard who has to excel at everything he does... ]
...Mondstadt couldn't be more different. Everyone does—some even consider it a religious practice, one could say.
[ but also they just really do enjoy their drink. ]

[ ...idk how many strip mall threads lucien has but HERE'S ANOTHER. MORE CLOTHES! diluc is rifling through the rack of darker colors (naturally), trying to find suitable garments to swap out his current attire with. he's somewhat mumbling to himself, ]
I still wish there were laundering services here...
[ what's lucien got...!! ]
