[ If Diluc thinks Kaeya is so desirable, then perhaps he should marry him himself! Despite Diluc's glowing testimony however, Sir Vermeer's expression remains politely awkward as he glances between the two, unsure of how to respond.
Eventually, out of fear of seeming rude toward his companion, he offers up a halting explanation, "My mother worries too much... I don't need another courtship so soon."
And then, realizing his slip of the tongue, he goes silent again for a moment, gaze shifting away. It might be because he's tired of having exchanged nothing but meaningless pleasantries all day, but he continues speaking after a pause, honest and quiet. He speakers about his previous girlfriend, for whom he'd cared for deeply and fought for his mother to accept because she'd been a working woman, only to have lost her to the sickness. She'd been among the first to pass, and he'd barely gotten enough time to mourn her before his mother had started up her shenanigans.
Aware that he's probably offered up more information than either Diluc or Kaeya had bargained for, he quickly hurries to reassure them, "But truly, I haven't lost myself to grief despite what my mother may think."
Apparently, he relays with a blush, he's had another project to keep his mind occupied. Mayor Chadsef had taken great interest in Sir Vermeer's late girlfriend's work, and they'd been working together to keep alive all her efforts, believing in the good it will do for their town. Despite everything, he's hopeful for the future, and he's sure that with the Mayor's efforts, they'll prevail over this ailment. ]
