[Kaeya gives chase, the protective cover of the night's shadows simultaneously working on his side and against him as the assailant runs out of sight. He curses internally as they leave the threshold of the city walls and enter the forest. He's as light and quiet on his feet as the grass allows, which doesn't matter much when Diluc is making enough noise for the both of them in front of him-
Until he isn't.
Kaeya tenses as Diluc lunges forward, his attack immediately cut short by the assailant, who makes quick work of immobilising Diluc. He lets the Fatui say their piece, mind racing through their options as the Fatui spews their nonsense. He has to try not to roll his eyes at their words, considering they had absolutely nothing to do with that Harbinger. For all the excuses they could come up with to kill Diluc, this was a weak one.
Not that it mattered; he wouldn't let that happen.
Finally, Kaeya stalks towards the pair, arms crossed in a manner that appears casual, despite the threateningly icy air around him.]
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
[His uninterested pretense is laced with a warning tone, topping it off with a shrug as he lifts his gaze from Diluc to the Fatui.]
Unless of course, you want to sink Monstadt's allyship with the Fatui at one go.
