[The video opens on the smiling, eye-patch-wearing face of Kaeya Alberich. He looks cheerful enough, but more than that, there is something decidedly smug about his expression too. Not that that’s surprising, given who he is as a person. And besides, he has excellent reason to be smug at the moment.]

Tell me friends, are you the gambling types? Ever make any interesting bets or wagers that you won? Or, maybe more interestingly, lost? I’d love to hear your stories.

[Kaeya’s one visible eye is near sparkling.] You see, I’ve recently entered into such a bet. And I won, of course. Isn’t that right, Diluc?

[The view pans to the narrow shouldered Diluc Ragvindr with his arms crossed over his chest. A white cloak with a soft fluffy ruff. An open shirt that shows off his well-muscled chest that’s marred by scars. In short, he’s wearing Kaeya’s clothes. He sighs and pushes away from the wall, walking towards the Omni.]

Yes, and now you get to have your fun until two weeks are up.

[Despite his words he doesn’t seem all that bothered by Kaeya gloating. He seems quite calm and aloof as ever..]

As I told you, you wear this better. [Then he focuses on the view.] My questions are different from his. What interesting things have you discovered here?

[Kaeya laughs and lifts one shoulder in a shrug.] I don’t know, I think you pull it off quite well. I’m sure everyone would agree. [Right? Right everyone?]

[ Unclear, come back when Diluc is a 2D character from a light novel. ]

Perhaps the scars make him look more attractive to some people. The men of Watatsumi are often shirtless so some of the appeal is lost on me, but the weather back home is also much warmer.

[unmelting]

Ah, I see.

[A laugh. The scars, huh? An interesting comment.]

I can admit that I'm biased in this situation. But you're right. We could do with warmer weather here. I miss Mondstadt's summers.

[And now just curious, no reason, asking for a friend.] So men roam about your home shirtless?

[dokoyou]

The weather is too warm. And heavy clothing is uncomfortable when you live that close to the ocean. So yes, it is quite normal for some men to roam around shirtless.

[ And therefore Kokomi is mostly immune to shirtlessness. ]

Is that to your preference?

[unmelting]

That certainly makes sense.

[Kaeya considers.] I can see the benefits of it, certainly. But mostly I'm a bit envious at the idea of that kind of warmth. This winter feels like it's been longer than it needs to.

[And far colder than Mondstadt ever seems to get, save for at the highest altitudes. ...Kaeya is the worst Cryo user, he just wants more beach episodes.]

You're more than welcome to visit when we make it back to Teyvat. We do not have much, but you can be a shirtless as you desire.
