And I told you that I'm fine. What more do you want?

[notgrande]

I want you to unlock your front door.

I want to see you.

[phoenixblessed]

And if I'd rather not?

[notgrande]

I'll wait.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that I care about you? It's not because you're from Mondstadt. Or because you have wine. It's because I see you as a friend who I trust.

[phoenixblessed]

Then as my friend, can you please understand that I'd prefer not to have company right now.

[notgrande]

Yes. I can. And I will.

But can you answer me truthfully if you're okay?

[phoenixblessed]

I already answered you. Twice.

[notgrande]

Truthfully, though?

You know that I don't believe that you're not fine, right?

[phoenixblessed]

Venti.
This is becoming annoying.

[notgrande]

Yeah, it is.

Maybe -- you need to think about why you have to lie about something like this.

[ He's not going to wait, but he will revisit this with you another time, mister. ]

[phoenixblessed]

Because I value my privacy.
Because not everything I'm dealing with is automatically your business.
Because I'm not obligated to tell you anything, regardless of who you are, what you are, or how much you care.
Because sometimes I just don't want to talk about things.

Pick one.

[notgrande]

Alright. I understand. I'll be around.

[phoenixblessed]

There's no need.

[notgrande]

I don't mean outside your door. I mean - in town. As in - I'll see you later. Another day.

[phoenixblessed]

Next time, don't just assume I'm going to let you in because you show up.

[notgrande]

I was trying to be optimistic.

I'll ask before I come over first. But, to be fair, it wasn't far from where I was.

[phoenixblessed]

[Ugh.

He goes back and forth on replying to this, then ultimately decides against it and goes to lie face down on his bed instead.
