[Diluc looks very well when he appears on the screen. Summer has left him with a few freckles across his cheeks and nose and his vibrant red hair is tied up in a high ponytail. From the look of the background he's currently in his workplace - the coffee shop that he and Kaeya run together.]

I have a couple of things to ask about... uh—

[He looks away for a moment, focused on a noise in the background, then he returns his attention to the camera with a brief smile.]

Kaeya and I have been getting established here, and I'd like to open a spot for anyone who would be interested in displaying and selling their baked goods in the shop. Just let me know, and we can talk about it.

[There's a brief pause, then he clears his throat.]

Secondly, and unrelated, I have been wondering if anyone might be interested in learning wind gliding. It's something of a national pastime where I come from, but not difficult to learn if you have the willpower and bravery required to make a start. It involves using a pair of wings to ride the wind - something I'm sure would appeal to some people here. [He quickly smiles again.] So, if it sounds like something you'd like to try, or you have questions, I'll be picking messages up through the day.

[He gives a small wave and ends it there, but he'll be around to answer anyone who replies to either topic!]

Comments

[phoenixblessed]

Hm. You no doubt could, with that kind of combination.

[Almost makes him wish he had wind magic here, himself!]

Do you have any prior experience?

[starwill]

Nope! The closest thing I've got is jumping really high.

[phoenixblessed]

[Hmm. Definitely not a deal breaker. For the most part some good enthusiasm is all that's needed to learn to fly a wind glider.]

How's your physical strength?

[starwill]

Pretty good, I would think.

[ She sounds confident, at least. ]

[phoenixblessed]

Mm, good, you're going to need it. And you don't have problems with heights, I assume.

[Because that might be an issue, honestly.]

[starwill]

Not at all. In fact, you could say heights are my best friend.

[phoenixblessed]

Oh, really? Then you might well be the ideal candidate for this sort of thing. Where do you usually spend your time? I can try to make it convenient for you.

[starwill]

I work at Moondrop, but I do spend my time pretty much all over the place.

[phoenixblessed]

Moondrop, hm... I've heard of it.

[He thinks about it for a minute.]

The hills in the Spring segment should be perfect, I would think.

[starwill]

Great. Sounds like a plan, then.

I just hope I don't have to run at the speed of sound while I'm there, though.

[ Oh, Stelle... you and your jokes that nobody will get... ]

[phoenixblessed]

[Unfortunately, no, Diluc does not get the joke.]

Is that... something you would normally come up against?

[starwill]

[ Immediate: ]

Nope.

[phoenixblessed]

[He pauses to briefly pinch the bridge of his nose.]

Right.

[A-anyway.]

We can arrange around a time when you're free and get started.

[starwill]

Alright. Let me know which works best for you, then.
