#IDK what his timeline is but I'm assuming he's working for the Ragnvindrs at this point

I have been unable to get the idea of baby Kaeya sneaking off to Sumeru without telling anyone out of my head
Baby Kaeya: I have successfully snuck into Sumeru in a merchant convoy. I may have left without saying goodbye, but I’m sure the Ragnvindrs will not mind. After all, surely they don’t see me as their actual family. They might raise a fuss and be in agony if Diluc were to disappear, but not for me.
Meanwhile......
Crepus, on his 8th bottle: How on earth have I managed to lose an entire child?? Did he get kidnapped? Did he run away? Is he alive? Is he safe? I’m going to have a breakdown holy shit. I have failed as a father. Elzer, have the knights gotten back about their search of the area? Or the private squad I hired?
Elzer: I’m afraid they have found nothing...but look on the bright side! At least we haven’t lost Diluc...
Adeline, literally physically restraining Diluc to stop him from running off to search for Kaeya: Yet. We have not lost Diluc YET.

Merchant guy: Hey, uh, guys?
Merchant lady: Yeah?
Merchant guy: Can somebody read this handwriting? I think whoever wrote this must have been in a hurry or something. And are those...tear stains?
Merchant lady: Sure...hm looks like the boss’s son is missing....
Merchant guy: Huh. Well we guarded the goods pretty well but let’s check just to make sure.
Merchant lady: *Opens up the goods to find Kaeya wedged between 2 crates* Oh we’re so fired.
Kaeya: In your defense, it’s only been a few days. One time I hid from...something for a week. And it was far more perceptive than you are, so you can hardly be blamed for missing me for only a few days. It was a fun challenge, but I was very hungry afterwards. By the way, do you have some water? I did not want to risk revealing myself, so I have not moved from this spot since we left.
Merchant guy: We’re not fired...we’re dead.
------------------------------
Crepus, sprinting to Sumeru: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
----------------------------------------
Merchant guy: So...while we wait for your dad, why did you come here anyways? I’m sure we could do something fun.
Kaeya: Hmmm, no. You should not look into why I came here. That would be bad, for me and for you.
Merchant lady, whispering to merchant guy: Hey, um, what the fuck does that mean?
Merchant guy, whispering to merchant lady: The boss said his new kid was kinda odd, but this wasn’t what I was expecting.
------------------------------------
Crepus: KAEYA! OH THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE OK!
Kaeya: Hello Master Crepus. I hope I didn’t cause too much-
Crepus: WHY ON TEYVAT WOULD YOU JUST RUN AWAY? DID YOU JUST WANT TO GO TO SUMERU TO SEE THE RAINFORESTS OR SOMETHING?
Kaeya: ...Sure. I read about it in a book and thought it looked cool. I wanted to see it, and so I left.
Crepus: *sigh* Kaeya, next time you want to take a vacation somewhere, please just tell us. You ARE grounded for a month since you broke a very big rule, but afterwards I’ll see about arranging a trip to Sumeru for us.
Kaeya: Crossing Teyvat to find me, grounding me, and arranging trips around my preferences? Why are you treating me so similarly to how you treat Diluc?
Crepus: Because you are both my sons. Why on earth would I treat you any differently?
Kaeya, forming the first healthy relationship with an adult in his entire life and realizing that he has grown attached to the very family he was left to spy on then eventually betray: Oh. This...I feel weird. Bad-weird and good-weird.
Crepus: Well, you probably feel weird because you were LODGED BETWEEN TWO CRATES FOR 4 DAYS STRAIGHT? You’re going to give me a heart attack one day, I swear. Now we’re going back to Mondstadt right now, and you’re grounded starting the day after we get back. I highly doubt Adelinde and Diluc will be able to restrain themselves from fawning over you, they’ve been a mess.
Kaeya, realizing that now only has he grown attached to his new family, but they have grown incredibly attached to him: Oh...oh no.
