And you're foolish if you think that you need to do anything if you want my attention, Kazuha. [Oh, he knows that the man is very aware of this, but... Diluc glances at the closed violin case, then back at his lover's bright eyes. His hands are steady now, as if they were never shaking at all.]

[A breathy little laugh escapes him and he shakes his head, running his thumbs over Kazuha's knuckles.] But the truth is... I'm sentimental. He always knew that. And this is just... something I thought I'd left behind for good. [He smiles.] I'm grateful. Just surprised.
