Hiya, name’s Lime !  This is a side blog for Aether (male traveller) and all follows will be from @volnavojny 

I go by she/her pronouns and I’m 21. I’m Vietnamese-Chinese-Canadian and my timezone is EST (UTC-5:00).  Activity tends to be a bit sporadic, especially on the weekdays since I have very spotty motivation but I will always try get something out at least once a week. I am a bit busy but I always am up for RPing!

Welcome to my abode which is simply brain rot. I just want to let you know that this blog is NOT spoiler-free and you have been warned ! I will tag certain archon storyline spoilers accordingly but any content involving Aether will most likely be explored with no restraint so please be mindful of that !

@faturn || replied to ask.

     IT was honestly amazing at how easily the other was able to say such .. cheesy lines with no hesitation. Moments like these were more than enough to catch the traveller and off-guard and well, colour him embarrassed, he supposed. Even he wouldn’t have the courage to say such a thing without flustering !

     But honestly, for someone who appeared to be so ... stoic, it was ironic to think about how sentimental Dainsleif was compared to most people. And one wouldn’t expect him to be so genuine with his feelings either. He couldn’t help but give a laugh in response to the Bough Keeper attempting to mimic what Aether had just done. Despite how serious the man was, he had such a soft side to him and he couldn’t help but find it utterly adorable.

     “ Seriously ... ahaha ... how do you have the courage to say that kind of thing without hesitation ? Well, not to say that I’m not happy but I’m sure if you said that to anyone else, they’d faint on the spot ! ”

      ‘ hahaha !  c’mon ,  now .  i already feel bad enough that i wasn’t quick enough ta save ya . ‘  but he still does what he can in the aftermath ,  gently fanning hot air towards the other in the hopes that it might evaporate any droplets still clinging .  it would have been a real shame for this world’s growing legend to end up defeated by a simple cold .  ‘ and …  it’s an honor to travel by your side …  is what i’d say if ya hadn’t brought up that guy .  the hell’s your relationship with him ?  y’know he’s fatui ,  right ?  gettin’ too close’s no good for anybody . ‘  though he ignores just what that implied about his own self ;  his trouble was just a little reckless fun .  ‘ no need ta worry about entertainin’ me ,  traveler ~  there’s no way ya could disappoint me ,  so long as ya don’t start callin’ me the “emergency beef ,”  y’know ? ‘

     “ EH, don’t worry about it too much; I’m used to being knocked around by a bunch of slimes on a daily basis but I do appreciate the sentiment. ” For someone who apparently enjoyed causing trouble ( according to a certain Fatui Diplomat ), the other was rather ... how would Aether put it ? More considerate than he expected ? There certainly was no reason to doubt that Yan Qing was a ‘fan’ of his but still, it wasn’t everyday that the traveller met a friend of Childe’s. It was wonder how the two even got along at all.

      “ Uh ... well, it’s a long story.  A lot of things happened and somehow we ended up with this weird friendship ? It’s not like I trust him completely, him being in the Fatui and all but he’s really not that bad of a guy. He has more heart compared to the other Fatui and not to mention, he’s quite a pushover when it comes to his siblings so that’s fun to watch. ” But Childe aside, “ Also, I’ll only call you emergency beef if you end up as useless as Paimon but I don’t think you have to worry about that. ”

DID SOMEBODY SAY ALCOHOL

     “ SO if I gave you some mora and asked you to buy some drinks for us to share, could I trust you to do just that or are you gonna run off with it ? ” 

[skiesreach]

aether probably enjoys a good drink like any other person in mondstadt (he’s not like a drunkard compared to venti or nimrod) so it sure is disappointing when he cant get his hands on an alcholic drink bc of his appearance 90% of the time. doesnt stop him from trying to get someone else to buy a drink for him tho. hes more than happy to use his honorary knight card to persuade people ... though he makes sure not to take advantage of it too often.

you know what this point i might just make an actual blog for aether ... im becoming attached to him already

Yeah, I know how to fish (in the pond at Liyue Harbor) 😔✌️

@sir-huffman​​ || starter call. (accepting.) 

     “ AH — Huffman, hey ! Mind if I join you ? It’s rare to see you here at Angel’s Share at this time. I usually see you just patrolling around the area but I guess you got a lucky break ? ” There honestly wasn’t any special reason to why he decided to approach Huffman in the first place but perhaps it was simply for the sake of getting to know him more ? The only times they’ve spoken were mostly for professional reasons so it wouldn’t hurt to have a casual chitchat. Besides, Aether was looking for company anyways since he’s finished his commissions for the day.

     “ I sure am jealous though. A drink sure sounds good to unwind with right now ... ”

     “ I didn’t expect to be pushed in the lake by some slimes nearby ... at least you’re lucky that you don’t have anything to dry from the waist above. ” Presently, they were sitting by a fire waiting for, well, Aether’s clothes to dry and all he had was his underclothes and a blanket to keep him warm. Night had already fallen so they might as well just take the time to relax. “ You know, I was sure surprised to hear that you wanted to adventure with me ... you seemed like you prefer starting trouble with Childe if anything. I don’t do anything that exciting most of the time so I hope I didn’t disappoint you too much. Still, it’s always nice to have some company other than Paimon once in awhile. ”

okay fr here is a starter call! the starter will range from a one-liner to a short paragraph! i do not have a lot of braincells in general so i apologize for any uncreative starters

[skiesreach]

im sure aether is the type that honestly gets lonely easily bc honestly, hes been travelling for hundreds of years with only his sister by his side so it became something he was used to -- something that felt just natural but after losing her, im sure it felt like he was torn in half. twins are never meant to be separated after all and losing your only sibling who’s basically your other half just makes you feel incomplete.

this reason alone is probably why he actively seeks out the company of others and is quite open to all sorts of people. it’s all because he doesn’t want to be alone and he wants to find some way to fill the void. he genuinely is grateful for all the bonds hes formed along the way, as well as paimon who’s stayed by his side since the very beginning but at the end of the day, it can feel very lonely at times. despite all the bonds hes curated, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s an outlander; a traveller who’s not from the world so im sure there’s always that sense of just ... not belonging. there’s no one who can truly understand him besides his sister so the loneliness can be unbearable at times but he tries his best not to let it get the best of him. it’ll always nag in the back of his mind though.

      AETHER was seated atop a large boulder, watching the horizon with a melancholic gaze in his eyes. Perhaps he was reminiscing about the lost days with his sister.

     “ I’VE been wondering this for awhile but what have you been simmering in the pot this whole time ? I know you asked me to bring you a bunch of Qinxin flowers earlier today but are you making some kind of medicine or ... ? ” Well, Aether did mention he was a bit hungry earlier so maybe Zhongli took the liberty of whipping something up for the both of them but it could easily be something else. It certainly was tempting to try to peek into the cooking pot but best not to disturb the process given how meticulous Zhongli was when it came to any sort of craft.
