[ polaris is content with this, pushing his muzzle briefly against tanhua's jaw before trotting away to take up his place at kaeya's blind side. his fingers find the daemon's thick fur as they begin to follow tanhua. kaeya releases diluc's hand only when he's certain he's all the way through. ]
It was worth it all in the end. What's an eye between friends, yes? [ he smiles, and most certainly means it this time around. a rarity. ] But... the wine, now that's a delightful prospect. If that happens, I'll have to show him my favorite drink.
[ in the meantime, he'll most certainly follow tanhua wherever he leads, diluc at his side. is he nervous? nah. but he is taking in the sights of ghost city, nearly as luminous as the paintings he's been given, illustrating the very streets they walk now. ]
[ the daemon looks briefly at kaeya when he says friends, a mild form of disdain on his face that would be perfectly mirrored by the ghost he belongs to. but he just moves up the steps to paradise manor as they pass by the rowdy gambler's den, a slightly more quiet part of the world that they call home here. ]
That'd likely meet decent reception - the residents here are rowdy, but proud to call it home, so they'd brag about a drink created for the city for a couple hundred years straight like the insufferable bastards they are.
[ affectionate? anyways, the doors open for the group independent of anyone's touch, and tanhua meanders to a side passage that's barely noticeable at a glance. it leads away from anyone that might be in the manor, away from music and women's laughter and singing in the main hall, towards a still room lit without the bleeding reds of the city. ]
Well, come on then. [ with the dry tone of someone that hasn't really been kept waiting that long, hua cheng stands at a shelf, plucking a bottle off of it without turning to greet them. ] We'll talk wine after we get this part taken care of.
[ kaeya grins cheekily, giving a stretch as he's told that there's something to be taken care of because, well, of course there is. while diluc has made agreements with jean, kaeya hasn't been back into work in-person for quite some time. most of his missions are outside the city proper, and his missives are sent in via polaris or diluc himself. life is currently very limited at the moment.
he glances at the bottle, and begins to move forward, polaris at his heels. ]
And how exactly does this part... get taken care of precisely?
[ he's trying to see the bottle. he's being NOSY. ]
[ considering hc is now free of his celestial duties, he can only assume things have become easier, once again. they've all had their fair share of time to unwind and reacclimate themselves into their worlds.
diluc nods in response, sighing as he watches kaeya be nosy.]
Yes, what is the first step in this process?
[ what if this was some harry potter nonsense and kaeya had to drink eyeball juice to grow it back, like the bone juice they have...yuck.(no)]

It is something that's been brought up and seeing how lively it is here, I think it'd go over well.
[ he just shakes his head a little, at kaeya's remark, turning his gaze up and around to take in the sights.
thinking...thinking...]
Maybe even create a new drink, something that really captures the overall atmosphere of Ghost City.
