I'll take care of your wounds tomorrow and we can figure out... where we want to live.

[ Dawn Winery will always be his home, but he's also got an apartment in the city if Kaeya would find that more palatable. the vineyard holds far too many memories, anyway. ]

You've stripped me entirely so keeping me warm all night is the least you can do.
