[ He's right - she would never be able to write anything more explicit than what she's already written, and the only reason she's managed something as spicy as this is because she'd managed to weave a reference to their intimacy into a more earnest, wholesome anecdote about their day-to-day life together.
No hard feelings - she reads that loud and clear, and above all his response throws her for a loop. The mere thought of Diluc writing a limerick in turn, and one specifically about her, has her own cheeks burning up as she buries her face in her journal before responding.

And I love you, starlight. Always.
Lunch sounds wonderful. Where would you like for me to meet you?

That knowledge makes me feel better about my own half-formed thoughts, actually.
Also, because I was remiss in saying so before: thank you. It's very sweet that I was the inspiration for your limericks.
[It means she was thinking of him.]

You flatter me, beloved. Although I have to admit that the same is true of my thoughts of you.

That's so sweet of you, Diluc... I love you! ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀
[ She totally learned about doodling faces in messages from Thoma, okay. ]
Say, do you want to meet up to have lunch together later?

I have to get back to my deliveries, but I can't wait to see you later. I hope you have a really productive morning, my sweet. Good luck!
