[ Silco didn't have to clarify what he meant. Kaeya thinks he has a pretty good idea of what the other man agreed to, anyway. Distrustful as they both are, that only leaves a few options in the end.
Diluc's Shard is supposed to be Yima's guarantee — or rather, her proof that things wouldn't be the same as what happened back at Horos. That he would be free to make a choice without feeling pressured one way or another. A part of him still thinks that this is the case, but he can't be sure nowadays. The more he learns about what can be done to Shards, the more he wonders if he is fighting for the right side. ]
And what if that's not a guarantee? What will you do then?
[ He knows how Silco thinks. Promise him one thing but refuse to deliver and you'll have the man's grudge for the rest of your life. Is he willing to risk that for an ending they knew nothing about? With little to no fail-safes? ]
