Diluc likes to personally do the repairs and maintenance to not only his own weapon, but especially those of his most important people. He would always insist on personally handling Kaeya, later Jean's, weapons, throughout their time as Knights together, and even to this day gets salty if he happens to see either or even their weapons alone at Wagner's.

#hc; diluc #//He truly forgets himself most when he sees Kae's sword in particular at Wagner's #//Forgets they even Fought for a good solid moment while FUMING abt why the man didn't come to HIM for the repairs instead #//Even considering storming on over to take it off the blacksmith's hands before realizing 'Ah. Right. He doesn't trust me anymore-'#//Each and every time; it feels like a good slap to the face. Would honestly prefer one to having to see that #//It's bc to Luc; letting him handle yer weapon is a symbol of the UTMOST TRUST #//TRUST that he can and will take care of your weapon; practically an extension of yourself as he sees it; with only the best #//TRUST that any modifications he does mean to make it better serve you; from how well he knows of your stance; habits; etc #//TRUST that he will give it back posthaste and efficiently; if not grant you his very protection until he is finished with it #//To see his loved's one's weapons in the hands of another blacksmith or sb with the skill of one; it is a VERY harsh blow to him #//Takes it Extremely personally even if the person has ample justification why (personal divides; location convenience; didn't know;etc)#//Might actually torch smth on accident; depending on how attached he is to the person #//Never takes it out on them ofc; but the resulting questioning abt their choice of forge Might get a little tense #//Assuming he doesn't just withdraw some bc he's very worried abt possibly arguing & how things could turn out #//Esp if they tell him they think Wagner/smth other is a better fit at repairs for them; or worse say smth like 'Why would I ask you?'#//Doesn't even matter if it was meant innocuously or not; he would feel fucken Gutted not having that confidence in him #//Esp bc he would have mentioned his skill at the forges & willingness to work their weapons in the time they get close enough to matter #//Mentioning specifically BC he wants them to; bc he's GOTTEN to the point where they mean that much to him #//He'll only ask once; then drop the matter and never bring it up again unless they do. And if they do; it would mean the WORLD #//Traveler is also one of the select few he would want to handle the weapons of #//Kae and Jean; Luc's just known the longest and treasures more #//But Traveler has earned his fondness and respect quite a lot #//Klee would be another; if only Catalysts required the same maintenance he's used to/trained in
