[Kaeya raised his hand in greeting and with a broad smile.]

Hello, everyone. For those who don't know, I'm Kaeya Alberich.

I just wanted to make an announcement. We don't have a date set quite yet, but Diluc Ragvindr and I will be opening a tavern of our own called Before Sunrise.

It will be located --

[THUD.

Kaeya started, shoulders hunching up and the video jerking in response to his surprise. He had no more than those two seconds of surprise and didn't even get to look at what caused the ruckus before an incredibly loud falcon cry was heard.

Kaeya let out a very undignified shriek of his own and the video flipped wildly as Kaeya tumbled right off the engawa he was sitting on. There's another audible thud as he hits the ground followed by a slightly pained groan. The device managed to land upright and said falcon was looking down at it with a tilt of its head.]

[Kaeya was a little amused at the sudden barrage of questions.]

I wouldn't say she's all that heavy, I suppose. Yes, she can snatch things on command. She is very soft. No, Diluc does not.

[With one hand, Kaeya opened up the fridge to find some steak to cut up. It was initially going to be used for a another Once Upon a Time in Mondstadt but alas, this was a greater cause. Diluc can handle having one less steak in his pile of meat and cheese. Although, he was going to need two hands to cut it so he set her down on the table. There was a cloth a vase on it, so after maneuvering that a bit, hopefully her talons won't damage the wood too badly.]

I suppose you could say he used to train horses but that was when he was a cavalry captain in the Knights and even then, we're responsible for our own horses most of the time. He has since resigned and I've taken that position. I actually have a lovely black mare here in the stables in Higashiyama.

[ He's attentive even as the camera shakes around until it stops, settled on the table.

Oh he's getting all the hot goss now. He didn't expect this. He gets comfortable, flopping on his stomach and propping himself up with both palms to his chin. ]

Horses are a bit of a luxurious commodity where I'm from. Primarily we use goats for menial everyday labor. I'd love to see your stable.

And, ah— Wouldn't peg Mister Ragnvindr as the sort but I suppose a history with a cavalry is consistent with his sword proficiency. Did you know he threatened me once at sword point?

[ He suspects Diluc must have told Kaeya about that by now, but, maybe he didn't! ]

I don't own the stable, just the horse. I pay rent to the owner to allow her to be housed there as my home has no room for her.

[Aqila leaned over at the camera because of the talking coming out of it as Kaeya pulled out the meat and get the cutting board and knife ready. He set down a plate at the table along with the other prep work tools. He then reached over to prop the camera up. Quality was poor but hey, it was something and Kaeya had no experience with smartphones.]

Hah, yes, I did. He told me about it after, I'm sure you were in for a fright.

[He laughed as he got to work, setting the newly shorn pieces onto the extra plate for Aqila to begin gobbling up.]

He was captain at 14 and has been using a claymore for even longer.
