For whatever reason, Keqing hadn't been expecting such a humoring response to her metaphor, nor his reception to actually likening her to a star in her originally brutish sentiment. It's enough to draw a pink tint to the tip of her ears, shaking her head dismissively to perish the thought and return to the topic at hand. Best to not get distracted by trivial matters when there are many more ventures to explore during her visit.

"You're a busy man, Duke. It's unfortunate that it's at the cost and sacrifice of not truly being able to venture out, but it's proof of how critical your administration and overall presence are. I thank you for allowing me a firsthand glance at the internal infrastructure and means of governance that happens in the Fortress of Meropide. It's a learning experience I won't ever forget."
