“ …wait, me!? How can you pin all this on me! Wasn’t is your idea to come all the way out here in the first place? ”
They wouldn’t die. That much Aether was sure of, but the relentless hoard of Anemo slimes they’d found themselves all but surrounded by had been a pretty big set back! Especially so when one particularly pesky slime was trying its hardest to push the blond back toward the cliff’s edge with a blast of wind!
“ You don’t have anything on you that’s actually attracting them, do you? ”
Well Aether wasn’t exactly wrong with saying that. Coming here had been Venti’s idea in the first place, but had he known that there would wait a rather annoying hoard of Anemo slimes for them? Nope, no Venti had not. And he hadn’t caught their attention in the first place, so he wasn’t seeing where this was his fault to begin with.
“I have nothing on me.” he complaint eventually, it was true. The only thing he had on hand was his bow he currently was using in an attempt to get ride of those slimes, even though he stopped for a short moment, a wave of his hand followed to summon some small gust of wind to push Aether away from the cliff’s edge. The last thing they needed right now was the other one falling down after all. Getting separated at a point like this certainly wouldn’t help at all .
“And wasn’t it you who asked me if I know about some unusual happenings around?”
