K SO

We all agree he's close with Adelinde, but what about the rest? See here's the thing-

They've all been around since Crepus's time!!! Most of them- the older guys especially!!!!!! Also in Teyvat it seems like 'maid' is a fairly good, respected job, and it also seems like children start working a bit young (even excluding the current situation, that is, the shortage of people in mondstadt since the Ursa/dotorre incident)

Anywho what I'm saying is!! K so like some people headcanon her older or younger but I like to think Adelinde is maybe five...seven? Years older than the ragbros? And came to work for the Ragnvinders when she was like fifteen or so, so say when Diluc was like ten. As a live-in maid, she's like a big sister to him!!!

AND CHARLES AND NOW GEORG!!! THEY REMEMBER 'DILUC' AND NOT 'MASTER DILUC' THE SAME WAY ADELINDE REMEMBERS 'MASTER KAEYA'- THEYVE BEEN AROUND SINCE CREPUS THEYVE KNOWN DILUC (and presumably Kaeya) SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE KID OH MY GOD-

(also what if Elzer, Hillie and Moco are also only a couple of years younger than Diluc and grew up as his and Kaeya's occasional playmates in their preteens when Jean wasn't available and they needed more than two people for a game or smth-)

BUT LIKE

CAN YOU IMAGINE. 'UNCLE CHARLES', 'MISTER GEORG'.

AND NOW THE GOTTA CALL HIM 'MASTER' WITH STRANGERS FOR THE SAKE OF REPUTATION BUT LIKE AHHHHH

also lmao just the fact that it's mainly older and kiddie people left in mond with very little fresh youth/young adults (again, dotorre incident) so like-

Lmao I like to think most people who are kinda like in their forties do know Diluc lol.

BUT THE WINERY STAFF

AHHHHH LOOK THEYRE HIS FAMILY U CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

...when the Angel's Share is empty enough that people won't hear nearby, Charles teasing with "So, how was your shift, *Master* Diluc?"... when Diluc comes to visit the stall at the Wienselefest (did I spell that right lmao). When he comes to visit the stall, maybe when there's fewer people around; "So, Diluc, how're you liking the festival this year?"

silt and seashells

There is a lake, that was once the sea, and in that lake, or so they say, lives a mermaid, who was trapped by the silt. It all sounds quite wonderful and romantic, until you learn just how annoying the mermaid actually is. (In which Bilbo finds a mermaid, and takes her back to the ocean).
