Big fan of the idea that Diluc adamantly tries to never curse bc he is a Nobleman and bc Addie raised him better, always keeping his speech formal, even if stiff when it comes down to it.

And then there are The Fatui and Kaeya, who can make him swear like a goddamn sailor within minutes of dealing with him.

#hc; diluc #//The Fatui for obvious reasons #//He threw decorum out the window during those four years; hatred and habit are hard to break #//Kaeya is just. Kaeya hdhfhfh #//It makes Kaeya laugh whenever he can break Luc’s composure enough to make him swear #//Esp since that was something he liked to do; back when they were kids #//Exclusively for those moments when Kaeya can manage to make him outright swear at him; Luc can be seen smiling in spite of himself #//Bc of that memory—because he gets to hear Kaeya’s stifled snickering laughter again; not the flowery little chuckle he does nowadays #//Not that he’d let Kae know he still clings to the memory; not while he’s so unsure where they stand & how to navigate their broken bond #//Sometimes he’ll deliberately throw Kae a bone and swear on purpose; it usually cuts short Kae’s antics bc he gets distracted #//Its better for the both of them if they try compromising in ways like that; that’s what Luc thinks #//Luc low key knows a fair share of Khaenri’ahn swears he picked up from Kae; who in turn accidentally learned from his father #//Theyre Luc’s favorites; bc he can get away with saying them whenever and then brush them off as smth else #//Still tries not to; but sometimes a man’s gotta swear to make things a little easier & the day go smoother #//Really tries hard not to say them in front of Kae; tho. he thinks it might make the man go into shock
