[With Aether so close to him, Diluc shortens his stride to let him keep up more easily. Hopefully that should alleviate some of the challenge in walking side by side.]
If she's like you.
[He leaves that incomplete, but the meaning is there. Diluc has grown very fond of Aether and if Lumine is like him, there's little doubt in Diluc's mind that he'd like her too. There's just that unfortunate, niggling piece of knowledge of where she ends up.]
It might seem strange if I reach out to her myself, but if you'd like to introduce us I'd be happy to meet her.
[It does help, and he does notice it -- and Diluc might catch a few sparkles out of the corner of his eye when he does.]
Of course! The two of us were planning to find a place to live together, so I was thinking maybe we could have some kind of housewarming party and just invite everyone at once. We still have to decide which Kingdom we'll stay in, but I'm leaning more towards the West.
[...though partially out of necessity, since that's where he goes for the soul healing and all.]
[Though... parties are certainly not Diluc's kind of 'thing', he'd tolerate it for Aether's sake. It might not be a bad thing to find out who his young friend is choosing to associate with while he's here.
He never really does switch off.]
I can even bring something to drink along for you, if you like.
[They walk and chat for a bit longer, still close and cozy, before Aether eventually has to get back to Lumine before she wonders where he vanished off to this late.]
[And thus, Diluc was the only person Aether told about his sister without dramatics happening. But to be fair, it's probably because he already knew all the heavy shit.]

I'll bring whatever you want, within reason.

Then how about a bottle of the best grape juice you can find, so we share a drink together?
[Yes, he remembers Diluc's favorite thing to drink. Who needs booze when you can be smooth af]

But I'll bring a bottle of good wine, too.
