"Naming".
"Archibald!"
"Cornelius!"
"Samuel?"
The relaxing form of the dragon laying in the living room didn't even stir, completely ignoring the sound of the employees of the winery, who were trying to capture his attention.
"Oh c'mon! There must be some name you might like! You answer when Mister Kaeya calls you Poochie" Inquired Moco
The small growl left the dragon’s lips when reminded of the awful nickname that Kaeya insisted on calling him. Last time the Cavalry Captain barely had time to move his head out of Rune's teeth with the constant teasing.
"Even if it's to show your displeasure" Hillie snickered with the look Rune gave her.
"There must be a name that could make it answer, How about Lazaro?” Elzer hummed and tapped his cheek, eyes glued to the beast, the small grunt of annoyance answered still nothing.
Adeline’s small laugh reached, making the maids tense and the chairman coughed in embarrassment, the small act of slacking off being caught by the head maid.
"I believe that our dear winged fellow won't really answer to any name unless it’s one chosen by Master Diluc," She said, smiling at the soft gurgle that said winged fellow let out with the mention of the redhead.
"But Master Diluc never calls him anything but "dragon" and honestly if that were to be a name, it is so dreadfully- lacked! " Hillie inquired " It's so cold the way he talks to him!"
"Funnily enough he's completely smitten by Master Diluc, isn't he?" Moco said with a snicker, that was soon replaced with a yelp by the swing of the tail of the dragon, with a loud grumpy grumble, making the presents laugh.
"It's not like Master Diluc doesn't like him either, after all, he does accept his company very often and it DOES live here now basically." Elzer continued the train of thought. "At the rate of the frequency they walk together, I heard the ladies in Mondstadt are starting to get jealous of our scaly friend here"
"Oh, to think our Master would be married by the winery and a dragon.” Another round of hearty laughs before Adelinde made everyone stop the chit-chat and go back to work. Ethanrune stretched his front legs with a sleepy growl, and got ready to stretch his wings as well; Diluc was out the whole evening, talking with some kind of merchant that wanted to import his wine or something.
They've been hours at it and it seems like Kaeya was going to show up even later to talk with the redhead, and while Ethanrune could give Diluc all the support he has, Kaeya was starting to be a line that 'Rune didn't want to cross. Kaeya was just extremely annoying and he found it very hard to keep his calm after everything that happened.
There was also the issue between those two but that’s none of his business. Diluc kept to himself many things and even if he could talk, he can't just pry into that can of worms.
Walking towards the door and opening it as gently as he could, holding the handle with his teeth could, he set outside. He wasn't allowed inside if he was to walk around since he is too big and many things would clatter around while he was just trying to move.
Seeing Turner, he came close with a soft croon, surprising the man slightly, before smiling and patting his head.
"Well well if it isn't our favorite dragon? Out for an afternoon flight already?" He said calmly while scratching 'Rune under the chin, drawing a content sound out of him. "I'm surprised Master Diluc isn't accompanying you. Is he still talking with the merchant?"
A frustrating whine left his mouth, making the old man chuckle gently.
"I know you just want to get out with him, but as the owner of the winery, he has many responsibilities." The old man said, receiving an indignant snort from Rune.
"Come now, it's not like you can't find time for him later, isn't it? I’m sure a flight on the night of a full moon must be extremely beautiful too."
"Talking with the beast still Mr. Turner?" Opening his bad eye as much as he could, Rune saw Connor approach with a look. He hasn't come around to the dragon's presence but at least he showed tolerance after Diluc gave a stern talk over Runes' presence. " That thing probably doesn’t even understand ya"
"Come now Connor, I think he proved to be quite intelligent enough with all the work he helped around"
