[In the moment where Ori declares that she should be in charge of preparing this future picnic of theirs, Diluc silently resolves not to tell either of them beforehand. He's long past due to treat them to a meal for a change, and more importantly he wants to. It's obvious that Ori is just as much of a hard sell to sit back and let him do so as Thoma will be, so he'll have to be a bit underhanded about it.
No skin off his back. He's lied about far worse.]
It's a plan, then. Hopefully March will kind to us when it comes to the weather.
[That resolved, he falls into a contented silence alongside her as they continue to walk. His gaze drifts upward, taking in the vastness of the dream's night sky. Like Ori, he's much more content for their romantic moment to be between extras rather than as the titular couple. It's under far less scrutiny, for one, and allows them to remain closer to themselves as they take advantage of the moments alone. Plus, there's the fact that the man in the moon made it inescapably clear that Romeo and Juliet are required to die tragically in the end.
Even with the knowledge that it's all a dream, Diluc knows himself well enough to know he'd take that very, very badly.
It's better to steal a moment alone before they have to play as extras elsewhere. He'll have to make sure to do the same with Thoma before the masquerade ends. But for now, Ori is his primary focus as he stops staring at the sky and returns his gaze to her.]
You shine more brightly than any of the stars in the night sky, Ori.
