Not a Leg to Stand On C7A1137 by Daniel D'Auria

Many people complain about animals using our roads. After all, we created the roads so that we can get from place to place more easily. We don’t need animals getting in our way. But humans are not the only animals that create paths to facilitate their travels. In fact, many animals do. Bison frequently travel along the same trampled paths in snow. Deer create footpaths through brambles. More noteworthy is the fact that many animals appreciate our roads for exactly what they are… paths that facilitate their travels, and so they use them. This coyote practically flies down this open, plowed road rather than sinking chest deep and expending unnecessary energy trudging through the snow. You may complain, but like the coyote in this photo, you haven’t got a leg to stand on!
I Mayhaps have been thinking an awful lot about Diluc’s staff in recent days. x3
It’s a fun game to think up how each of them would interact with Diluc. I have some thoughts So I’m going to put them in a ramble below, but first:
Have the failed first version of Diluc and Charles (Not really failed, it just wasn’t doing it for me, and it didn’t go as well with the others):

Okay so first:
HEADCANON AGES:
- Adelinde: 32
- Elzer: 28
- Hillie: 22
- Moco: 23
- Charles: 42
-Hillie and Moco are childhood friends, they’ve hung out and done things together for as long as they remember.
-Elzer was hired at 14, he was a bit tall though so he lied saying he was 16 to get the job since his mom had taken ill and his father had abandoned the both of them years ago
-Eventually he gets found out, but instead of firing the boy Crepus made sure he got an education and the money he needed, underneath the guise of taking him on as an “apprentice”
-Adelinde was the daughter of a maid who was already on staff. Her mother kept her around the household instead of hiring a babysitter. She didn’t officially join the workforce until the age of 16, but she was granted an allowance and tutoring leading up until that time.
-Charles has worked at Angel’s Share since he was 20 years old.
-Charles is a hobbyist/jack-of-all trades, if Diluc or anybody else needs to learn a new skill or gather some information, it isn’t unusual that they seek him out first since he might know an astonishingly large amount of information about it.
-Charles also often holds onto library books for longer than he’s supposed to, but Lisa goes easy on him since usually the reason he does is because he’s still using the information.
-Charles and Adelinde are the most longsuffering of all the staff and have patience to watch mountains wither.
-I know Hillie and Moco are seen as gossips, but I love the idea that they actually do keep their mouths absolutely sealed about anything personal about the Ragnvindr household (the Adelinde rumors are more them having a good giggle at the idea than seriousness.)
-Hillie and Moco eventually learn Diluc is the Dark-Knight Hero. When they do they take it upon their shoulders to come up with ridiculous and out of left field rumors that constantly throw off any knight’s attempts to pin the Vigilante down (Kaeya notices their shift in behavior and it’s what allows him to eventually Pin Diluc down as the Darknight Hero)
-Charles gives out really good advice and is a very good listener from his years of bartending
-Charles has a distaste for Alchohol, he’s seen it tear down too many good people.
-Charles has a somewhat uncle-like relationship with Elzer and will have a room open for Elzer at his house in the city whenever the man needs to be in Mondstadt for work or any reason really.
-Elzer and Adelinde are best friends/Older sister Younger brother.
-Despite their age difference Hillie and Moco feel like twins
-Hillie and Moco were hired while Diluc was away from the Winery so they meet him for the first time upon his return. They aren’t sure what to make of him initially, but since Adelinde and Elzer are so happy to have him back they are happy as well.

[i]Artă-mă diseară când luna își va face loc în dormitor
Și parfumul crinilor îți va ucide sufletul.
[i]Artă-mă când lampa se va stinge ușor
Și patul îți va fi acoperit de visele de mult pierdute.
[i]Artă-mă când îți vei aminti cât te iubesc
Și zâmbetul meu ți se va întipări pe retină.
[i]Artă-mă când soarele va răsări de-ți va acoperi chipul
Și amintirea mea te va ucide, cu fiecare clipă ce-ți răsună în gând, cu fiecare ecou al buzelor tale, cu fiecare val ce se sparge de malul mării învolburate a sufletului tău.
