little Dain and his hope for a bright future

Hey, I’m super curious about your headcanon: how do you think Kaeya and Dainsleif met? 👀 Like, was Dainsleif secretly watching over him the whole time like some full-time knight of yearning™️, lurking dramatically in shadows—or did they just kinda randomly realize each other was still alive one day and everything spiraled from there? I need details :D

actually i’m deep in royal au — give me that dynamic of the loyal knight-seneschal and the prince he raised since childhood. the knight grew more and more attached over the years, thinking he was just protecting a sweet little heir… and then suddenly the prince grew up.

not a child anymore, but a real prince — spoiled, sure, but ready to take the throne, with his own set of values and views (sometimes clashing with Dain’s). and that’s the moment when Dainsleif gives his loyalty not out of duty, not by default, but knowingly — to the King of Khaenri’ah, as his own choice.

Kaeya: Are you always this protective? Dainsleif: Only when you're breathing. Kaeya (smirking): And if I hold my breath? Dainsleif: I panic and become even more protective.

[sviamka]

Kaeya: I want to drink your blood. Dainsleif: You had some two hours ago. Kaeya (pouting): It’s called a midnight snack. Heard of it?

im again here to heading

[sviamka]

Kaeya: Do you ever relax? Dainsleif: No. Kaeya: Want me to teach you? Dainsleif: Last time you taught me something, I ended up tied to the bed. Kaeya (smirking): You’re welcome!

Kaeya: What if I became an evil tyrant one day? Dainsleif: Then I'll serve an evil tyrant. Kaeya (softly): You spoil me too much. Dainsleif: Yes, and that's exactly how tyrants are made.

[sviamka]

Kaeya: I'm bored. Entertain me. Dainsleif: Shall I juggle swords or recount my war crimes? Kaeya: …Maybe just cuddle me? Dainsleif (softly): As you wish, Your Highness.

[sviamka]

Kaeya: You really need a hobby. Dainsleif: I have one. Kaeya: Which is?.. Dainsleif: Keeping you alive despite your best efforts otherwise.

[sviamka]

[sviamka]

Kaeya: You're always so serious. Say something funny for once! Dainsleif (deadpan): My existence. Kaeya: …that wasn't funny. Dainsleif: Precisely.

[sviamka]

Kaeya: Wait, have you been following me all day? Dainsleif: I prefer the term "silent protection". Kaeya: The bushes rustled. Loudly. Dainsleif (seriously): Strategic intimidation.
