===Taste of Home===
: Kaeya: You're more punctual than I expected.
: Kaeya: Let's head inside.
;(Talk to Elzer)
: Elzer: Master Kaeya? And ! Welcome, welcome. Please come in, I'll fetch you both something to drink.
: Kaeya: Long time no see, Elzer.
: Elzer: Haha, yes, it's been a while, hasn't it? So, what brings you back to the winery this... *cough* Sorry... Is there anything I can do for you?
: Kaeya: No need to be so formal. I just returned from Sumeru, and dropped by to see you all.
: Elzer: Ah... What a pity, Master Diluc went out to handle business last night, and hasn't returned yet...
: Kaeya: Never mind, the main thing is that you and Adelinde are here. Oh, speaking of Adelinde, where is she?
: Elzer: She's taking some time off. She was busy cleaning yesterday, and finally has a bit of time to herself.
: Kaeya: Perfect. I brought some gifts for you both. Here, this belt buckle is for you.
: Elzer: My goodness, it's exquisite... Thank you, Master Kaeya, I... *cough* I'll treasure it.
: Elzer: Would you like anything to drink? We recently finished making a new batch of Dandelion Wine.
: Kaeya: Well, what perfect timing. I was just wondering how this year's batch was coming along.
: Elzer: Let me fetch a barrel and have someone deliver it to the Knights of Favonius headquarters for you.
: Kaeya: Oh, I won't be needing an entire barrel. A couple of bottles will be more than sufficient... else Diluc might say I came here to beg.
: Elzer: Oh, Master Diluc might grumble, but he doesn't mean it. Anyway, let me fix you both a drink.
: Kaeya: Much obliged. Then I'll have a glass of Dandelion Wine, and a glass of Cider Lake for , if you please.
: "Cider Lake"?
: Am I drinking lakewater?
: Elzer: The name is not that literal. It is a drink with virtually no alcoholic content, as Master Kaeya will be aware. I'll prepare them now, please wait a moment.
: Of course, my drink is non-alcoholic...
: Dunno what I was expecting. Never mind, I'm used to it already.
: Kaeya: Strictly speaking, that's not entirely true. "Cider Lake" does have a tiny amount of alcohol in it...
: Elzer: Please, enjoy.
: (Try the "Cider Lake" that Elzer mixed)
:: It's quite sweet, and very tasty.
: Elzer: Pleased you like it. Looks like my bartending skills haven't faded with age.
: Kaeya: How have you been recently? Is the winery's business doing well?
: Elzer: To tell you the truth, we've had our work cut out for us recently trying to fulfill some major orders. Things have only just started to quiet down over the last couple of days.
: Kaeya: So you've had no time off lately?
: Elzer: Haha... *cough* Master Diluc was concerned about the same thing.
: Elzer: But with him being out on business for a few days, who would take care of business and the guests if I were to take time off? Maybe some other time.
: Kaeya: At least take half a day to see a doctor and make sure you're okay. If your condition worsens, Diluc will never forgive himself.
: Elzer: *cough cough* You make a fair point...
: Kaeya: If you're worried about having someone to handle the winery, why not leave it to me? I'm familiar enough with your responsibilities to cover for you for a while.
: Elzer: Master Kaeya, I...
: Elzer: *sigh* ...Please come back to the winery more often. We all miss you very much.
: Kaeya: Alright, alright, no need for that kind of talk. Come on, I'll see you out.
;(Outside the manor)
: Elzer: While I'm resting, I shall leave Dawn Winery in your hands.
: Kaeya: Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Rest easy. And go see the doctor.
: Kaeya: Such great weather today... A calm breeze and delicious wine, this is quite the treat.
: Kaeya: Though it's a pity this batch seems a bit bland. How about I go to the wine locker and fetch one from the reserve collection? I remember it's on the second floor...
: Huh? Is that allowed?
: Kaeya: Of course it's fine. I promised Elzer I'd help, I said nothing about leaving the wine alone.
: Adelinde: Sorry I'm a little late to the welcome party, but I believe I just heard the words "wine locker" and "reserve collection"... Planning on pilfering a bottle of reserve, Master Kaeya?
: Adelinde: The reserve collection is reserved for a reason, you know... You should at least run it past Master Diluc first.
: Kaeya: Adelinde, surely you misheard? We were simply taking a walk around the house.
: Adelinde: I see. Anyway, what brings you and to the winery today?
: Kaeya: We just returned from Sumeru. It's been a while, so I thought we might drop by and say hello.
: Kaeya: And perhaps enjoy a complimentary drink while we're here. Surely you wouldn't object, Adelinde?
: Adelinde: How could I object? We're simply happy that you've come back to see us.
: Kaeya: Oh, Adelinde — I also brought some gifts for you all. This bottle of essential oil is for you. If you rub it on your hands when it gets cold, your skin won't crack.
: Adelinde: Oh my, I can't believe you remembered something like that...
: Kaeya: Of course I remember. You always took such good care of me when I fell sick as a child. In comparison, this is nothing.
: Adelinde: ...You're all grown up now, and you don't get sick nearly as easily. You don't need me to look after you anymore.
: Kaeya: True, I don't get sick as much, but speaking of being looked after... When I was in Sumeru, I did find myself and my stomach missing your cooking so terribly...
: Adelinde: Oh, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something? You too, , please tell me if there's anything you'd like to eat.
: Kaeya: Well, now that you mention it... I do actually feel a bit peckish.
: Adelinde: Steak?
: Kaeya: Ooh, yes. A nice steak would really hit the spot.
: Adelinde: Fragrant Cedar Wood grilled, medium, stewed vegetables on the side?
: Kaeya: Yes, just like you always used to make. Thank you kindly, Adelinde.
: Adelinde: My pleasure. , I'm sorry I'm not familiar with your preferences. Would you like to come with me and select a few dishes?
;(Talk to Kaeya again, optional)
: Kaeya: The taste of home... truly irreplaceable.
===Guests===
;(Talk to Adelinde)
: Adelinde: Grilling the steak over Fragrant Cedar Wood infuses it with more flavor than pan-frying it. It's a favorite of Master Kaeya's.
: Adelinde: Since using an open flame to grill indoors is somewhat inconvenient, we usually set up a grill outdoors. It's perfect for grilling meat, but you can also use it to make stews.
: Adelinde: I can offer you a Satisfying Salad, Cold Cut Platter, and anything stewed. What would you prefer, ?
: Satisfying Salad.
: Cold Cut Platter.
: Sticky Honey Roast.
: Adelinde: Okay, right away.
:
: Adelinde: Master Kaeya really likes stewed vegetables, but it takes the most time. So I'll start making that first, and then prepare your meal once that's underway.
: You seem to know Kaeya's preferences inside-out.
: Adelinde: Of course. I looked after him and Master Diluc when they were growing up.
: Adelinde: He wasn't always such a complicated character... He was a gentle child. Polite and very sweet.
: Adelinde: Boys, huh? The gentle ones grow up to be wild, and the rambunctious ones become quiet and reserved.
: Adelinde: At least, that's my experience. If there's anything you don't understand about Master Kaeya and his antics, please feel free to talk to me about it.
: Adelinde: His temperament has changed quite a lot over the years, but he still has a lot of the endearing qualities I remember.
: I can't always tell if he's being truthful.
: I can't always tell what he's up to.
: Adelinde: Kaeya is much savvier and more mature than he used to be. Goodness knows he can be tricky to deal with... But let me share a few little tips.
: Adelinde: When he answers your question with a question, stop and think carefully about what he wants you to believe, and don't be led on by him.
: Adelinde: As for not knowing what he's up to, hehe, that's because he loves making up a good cover story.
: Adelinde: But don't let him get to you too much. You can take it from me... You were drinking a "Cider Lake" just now, right?
: That's right.
: Adelinde: Do you know why it's called that? The name was coined by none other than Master Crepus when he mixed the drink for Master Kaeya himself.
: Adelinde: They were adorable when they were young. One time, the winery was hosting a banquet, and Master Crepus strictly forbade Master Diluc from drinking.
: Adelinde: Master Diluc wasn't happy about that, and he convinced Master Kaeya to team up with him and sneak into the wine cellar to steal some Dandelion Wine.
: Adelinde: And how did I find this out? Because when Master Kaeya attempted to distract me, I could clearly see Diluc hiding around the corner of the corridor, gesturing to Master Kaeya to direct him through the whole thing.
: Adelinde: The Captain Kaeya of today never bats an eye when he lies, but he wasn't like that at all when he was young... Ah, goodness, how did I get into this...
: Adelinde: Anyway, they were discovered by Master Crepus in the end, and he was furious. He punished Master Kaeya by making him write lines, and Master Diluc was forced to clean the wine barrels in the cellar.
: Adelinde: The wine cellar had over a dozen large wine barrels to scrub, and Master Diluc was just a child. There was no way he could finish it all by himself. Master Crepus really meant to teach him a lesson!
: Adelinde: I'd originally planned to secretly finish off the work for him, but when I peeked inside the cellar, I found that Master Kaeya was already there.
: Adelinde: He and I finished scrubbing the remaining barrels. When Master Crepus saw that the bruises on Master Kaeya's hands were even darker than those on Master Diluc's hands, he instantly understood the situation.
: Adelinde: Master Crepus wasn't stern by nature, so to comfort Master Kaeya, he mixed him a drink and added a few drops of alcohol just so he could have a little taste.
: Adelinde: So, you see? Kaeya was a gentle child, and never one to boast about the things he did for other people. Sometimes, he'd even deny it if asked.
: Adelinde: His friends have a special place in his heart, even if he keeps this to himself.
: Adelinde: Kaeya's quite a smooth talker these days... But I can tell that his habit of quietly helping others hasn't changed.
: I understand what you mean.
: Adelinde: Ah, good. Okay, the stew is nearly ready, but the meat and other dishes will need a moment. Please wait at the table, I'll be over shortly.
;(Talk to Adelinde again, optional)
: Adelinde: You're not worried that I can't handle it by myself, are you? Relax. Serving meals is all part of my job as a maid, I can manage.
;(Talk to Kaeya)
: Kaeya: Drinking fine wine, eating Adelinde's Steak... Ah, now this is what I call a vacation.
: And I got to hear some stories about your childhood.
: Kaeya: Oh? What has Adelinde been telling you?
: She said you were a very smart kid.
: She said you had a strong sense of justice.
: Kaeya: Haha, so she told you the good stories... Well, shucks, now I'm embarrassed.
: Adelinde: Food's ready. I hope you're hungry — I made a little extra, given how long it's been since you were last here.
: Kaeya: We never imagined there would be such a magnificent feast! You've really outdone yourself. Why don't you sit and eat with us this time?
: Yeah. Let's eat together.
: The more the merrier!
: Adelinde: Hehe, if you keep chatting away, the food will get cold. I'll wait here, please call me if you need anything.
: Kaeya: I'm afraid that just won't do, Adelinde. I'm serious, we get together so rarely, can't you bend the house rules just this once?
: Kaeya: After all, I don't live here anymore, so I'm just a regular guest. You aren't going to refuse your honored guest this small request, are you?
: Adelinde: Since it's you, Master Kaeya, I see no choice but to honor your request.
: Adelinde: I know that us sharing a meal is a sign of our close relationship, but this is technically against the rules for a maid... So please forgive me for rebuffing you at first. I didn't mean to sound rude.
: It's all Kaeya's fault.
: Adelinde: , given how petty Master Kaeya can be, it must be hard for him to make friends. Does he have any friends in the Knights of Favonius?
: Yes, me.
:: Kaeya: Haha, looks like my efforts have paid off! See, Adelinde?
: Yes, everyone is Kaeya's friend.
:: Kaeya: See? I do have a way with people. And now I have here to back me up.
:
: ???: Hello, everyone. Pardon me, but is this Dawn Winery?
: Guangzhi: I am Guangzhi, a guard with the Secure Transport Agency under the Liyue Communications Office. Here is my card.
: Kaeya: No wonder Elzer felt so strongly about staying, he certainly wasn't kidding about how busy it is... Mr. Guangzhi, a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
: Guangzhi: The pleasure is all mine. The Secure Transport Agency has worked with your fine establishment in the past, though we have only corresponded through letters. I always found it a great pity that I, the overseer of our cooperation, have never had the occasion to visit in person.
: Kaeya: Why don't we go inside to discuss the details? No doubt the conversation will flow better with some of our wines to taste. Adelinde, we'll continue our discussion later. Could you fetch some Apple Cider for the three of us?
: Adelinde: Certainly, Master Kaeya. Please wait a moment.
;(Inside the manor)
: Guangzhi: And how might I address you, Sir, as well as your...
: Kaeya: Just "Kaeya" is fine. I'm standing in today for Elzer, who usually manages the winery's business, and this is my good friend.
: Hi, I'm .
: Guangzhi: A pleasure to meet you as well. I am not just here today to pay a visit, I actually have an invitation for Master Diluc to cut the ribbon at a ceremony to celebrate our agency's business.
: Guangzhi: Our collaboration with Dawn Winery last year was quite successful, and I was curious about your product shipment plans for the next quarter.
: Guangzhi: If it's no trouble, please also mention to Master Diluc that our agency has expanded this year, so if the winery has any additional needs, please consider us.
: Adelinde: Master Kaeya, the Apple Cider you requested.
: Guangzhi: ...Master... wait... Pardon my foolishness, but might I inquire as to your relation to Dawn Winery...?
: Kaeya: I am Master Crepus's adopted son, and Master Diluc's brother. However, as a serving Captain with the Knights of Favonius, I am rarely at the winery.
: Guangzhi: ...My mistake, I apologize for not realizing earlier. I do hope I have not done you a discourtesy.
: Kaeya: You may have misunderstood, Mr. Guangzhi. Though I am Master Diluc's brother, I don't actually live at Dawn Winery.
: Kaeya: I am also a guest here today. I'm merely here receiving guests due to Elzer being temporarily indisposed.
: Kaeya: But please don't worry, I will be sure to extend your invitation to Master Diluc.
: Guangzhi: ...Thank you for your graciousness. I knew that Dawn Winery's wines were delicious, but I am only now discovering how wonderful the Apple Cider is. It has a clear and inviting fragrance.
: Kaeya: In addition to the Apple Cider, the winery has an extensive collection of reserve wines and liquors. I see you are also a connoisseur of fine wines, so it would be a shame not to sample some.
: Kaeya: Adelinde, please fetch a bottle from the reserve collection in the second floor wine locker.
: Adelinde: ...As you wish, Master.
:
: Guangzhi: Thank you again for your most gracious hospitality, today's trip was very fruitful. Now, allow your humble servant to take his leave.
: Kaeya: Please, it was a pleasure. Here's hoping we'll have a chance to share some more fine wines together in the future.
: Adelinde: The guest has left, Master Kaeya...
: In the end, you couldn't protect the reserve.
: Kaeya's plan succeeded again...
: Adelinde: It's no skin off my nose. Master Diluc may have a few choice words when he learns of the situation, but that's all.
: Adelinde: All I really wanted to say is... You will always be a part of the Dawn Winery family, Master Kaeya.
: Adelinde: I have never considered you an outsider. No matter when, if you ever feel tired, you'll always be welcome here...
: Kaeya: I understand, Adelinde.
: Kaeya: Now this is a busy day... Who's at the door this time?
: Elzer: Hello, everyone. I'm back.
: Kaeya: Now that was fast, how are you feeling?
: Elzer: The doctor said there was nothing to worry about, I just need some rest. But on the way back, I met someone who was looking for Master Kaeya...
: Klee: Kaeya! Shhh...! Klee's here to rescue you, c'mon, let's escape!
: Kaeya's not in danger.
: What are you rescuing Kaeya from...?
: Klee: Ah! Honorary Knight!? Are you grounded with Kaeya, too?
: Kaeya: Grounded? Ah yes, Albedo was saying something about that...
: Kaeya: Mmm... Sumeru was fun, but it can't compare with Mondstadt. So, here we are.
: Klee: You two must have done something to make Jean mad! But that's okay!
: Klee: Kaeya has rescued Klee loads of times before, so when Albedo told me you came back, I went and said sorry to Jean.
: Klee: Kaeya, you're free now! We can go play together again!
: Adelinde: Ah, if my memory serves me correctly, this child is...
: Kaeya: This is a fully qualified Knight of Favonius, Klee.
: Klee: Hello, Miss! I'm Klee! We're sorry, please don't ground Kaeya!
: Adelinde: ...What?
: Klee: I really need to take Kaeya and Honorary Knight away, so we can go find Albedo, Sucrose, Amber, and everyone else and play together!
: Adelinde: ...I see. Hello, Miss Klee. You needn't worry, Master Kaeya's grounding is long over.
: Kaeya: See, Adelinde? You don't need to worry about me. I have lots of people to care for me now.
