Perhaps you're a little biased, though. I'm sure it's difficult for her to take that kind of time. I can't think of a single block in my schedule I could use for something like that.

Perhaps I am. I'm aware of the difficulties she has. It is not easy to be the acting head of the order. Especially when we were left with only so many knights. Her and I both work very hard to keep our city safe.

But, there is great value in scheduling time for yourself. It is to one's benefit and to the benefit of those beneath you. Consider it, I express this after deeply considering whether my view has merit or not.

The problem is, I think, that I can see the merit and yet it still feels

wrong, I suppose?

Objectively, of course it's good to take time to rest and make sure that you're functioning at your best, and I would tell any of my knights to do so, but the moment I try to relax it's like my body simply won't let me. I have to clean or work on something.

Why are there so few knights, out of curiousity? What happened?

Grand Master Varka took them to investigate an ancient cursed kingdom that couldn't be ignored. Ages ago waves of beasts swept out from it and hit all the nations of Teyvat. Even gods fell in that time.

We're what's left. Some of us were too young to go at that time and now are adults seeking to build up the forces around our nation. I will confess to being the captain specializing in intelligence. Since they took all the Calvary I was supposed to command.

Why is it different when it comes to you?

[ Oh, the similarities... Flynn thinks of the Great War and his father marching away, a flood of monsters vicious and cruel passed back to the cities in ragged stories from survivors, and swallows. ]

I understand. Sometimes the ones who are left have to take up the mantle.

Because I have a lot of work to do!

And what do you say when a subordinate tells you that?

[ DAMN IT KAEYA

stop outsmarting him ]

That's different.

Do enlightenment into how it's different.

As a Captain in the knights, I have a great deal more responsibility than many of my knights. I have also had to work for the bulk of my career against forces making sure that the things I propose don't happen, which means that if I want to be heard, I have to make sure that everything I put forward—every report, every call for changes—cannot be picked apart.

[It reminds him of Jean, holding the order of Mondstadt together. While he is her dark shadow, manipulating the underbelly of the city to gather information and shore up what they can not protect on their own. He pauses for a moment.

And whether he likes to admit it or not this has traces of the old Diluc. When he was knight captain...]

I see. Hm, it does sound a lot like our own problems. Diplomats - specifically a certain group - do so love to try and put pressure on our acting grand master and the city-state. I assume even your subordinates working directly with you for your case are stretched a little thin? Or are you still building such a crew?
