A birthday present? ...Hmm. Yes, today is the day. I didn't think you'd remember.
Thanks for your well-wishes.
When you have time, come with me to the Dawn Winery. I have a bottle of apple cider that I brewed personally... This is a fitting moment to open it

Thank you for your gift, it's beautifully packaged. That's very kind of you.
Things are pretty quiet at the Guild today. I'm not sure if it happens to be an idle day or if they set aside the day for me.
Well, let's go then. It happens to be the fresh fruit season and there is a beverage recipe I would like to try. Please do me the honor and join me for a drink.
What you think always matters to me.

[Message] Diluc, Cat's Tail Message Board
Message
"Even I sometimes reminisce about the carefree and happy days of the past, the warmth of the Knights, my friends, my father... Everything was perfect. But one can never return to the past."
"For the sake of the future, I cannot keep on dreaming in memories. Or should I say, someone has to wake up to face the darkness before dawn so that others may continue to dream."
"Rationally, I know there are some things that one must let go of, yet emotionally this is much harder to do. Sometimes my heart is agonized by this..."
"Hope the business goes well. It's a battlefield out there in the liquor business."
Cat's Tail's reply
Life is like wine. It needs refinement and fermentation to mature.
But the door of Cat's Tail is forever open to anyone, even to our business competitors! People can never return to their former lives, but they can always return to Cat's Tail to set their worries and sadness aside.

Obtained Outfit #1 - Red Dead of Night
One of the outfits Diluc wears during covert actions, it resembles a flame dancing in the shadows.
The crimson red traces it leave behind at the edges of the enemy's vision will scar their nightmares forever.
As the eldest son of the Ragnvindr Clan and the youngest Cavalry Captain in the history of the Knights of Favonius, much was always expected of Diluc, who grew up surrounded by plaudits and applause. Even the carefree Knight of Boreas, Varka, praised him, calling him "the pride of the Knights."
This was a matter of great comfort to his father, Crepus, who hoped that Diluc would be more successful than him. Not only would he bring dawn to Mondstadt as a member of the Ragnvindr Clan, but he would also become an excellent Knight of Favonius, standing at the apex of the crowd, inheriting and passing its noble traditions down.
This expectation would bleed into their conversations, into training, and into every little detail of life, with the proud father even having a ceremonial uniform tailored for Diluc well in advance.
Yet, for Diluc, his father's praises and his life as a knight were extinguished forever on that gloomy, rainy night, and the ceremonial garment thus lost its purpose.
Many years later, the tragedy and the uproar had finally stabilized. Returning home, Diluc began his journey of "reckoning."
This was not merely for his father's sake, but also on account of the convictions he had suffered much to gain. He would protect Mondstadt in his own way.
The ceremonial uniform of yesteryear was modified to serve as new cladding for battle. The fabric itself was familiar yet had the feeling of long-separation, and Diluc privately treasured it.
"That's my boy." Looking upon the gem around the neck that reflected his red hair, he recalled his father saying that.
On silent nights, the edge hidden under the velvet glove of the noble princeling will be unsheathed to counter any threat. And wherever the blade passed, wherever the claymore's arc flashed, raging flames would arise and burn the hidden nests of villainy to the ground.
By the time the name of the Darknight Hero had become well known to the people of Mondstadt, the red so striking that it might sear the eyes had long become a thing of awe and terror to monsters and crooks alike.
"The true dawn has yet to come."
Contrary to his father's expectations, Diluc knew that he must instead be a "forerunner."

Dawn
Releases intense flames to knock back nearby opponents, dealing Pyro DMG. The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path. The Phoenix explodes upon reaching its destination, causing a large amount of AoE Pyro DMG.
The searing flames that run down his blade cause it to be infused with Pyro.
The only reason to walk in the darkness is to light it up. Behold, that fleeing light in the dead of night is the herald of the coming dawn.
