Aether:But what if it isn’t pure all the way through?
Xiao:Just skim the top layer of snow. A little dirt is no worse than karma-
Keqing:*carrying Ganyu* She fell asleep on the trip…
Xiao:*takes Ganyu* You could’ve said my name.
Keqing:I have that right?
Xiao:You’re with my partner and closest friend. It’s not an issue.
Keqing:Ah… I wish I knew that. Aether, legs….
Aether:Does that curtesy extend to all my partners?
Xiao:*grumbles* I will think about it.
Scara:Well if isn’t the resident bicycle.
Aether:….*tears up* The what?
Scara:!? It was a joke! Relax!
Mona:*closes book* Scara…
Scara:Relax!!!! Aether, insult me back!
Yanfei:Madam Ping! I need your advice! Can you read this for me and tell me what you think?
Ping:….This is just a letter from the Traveler asking how you’ve been.
Yanfei:Yeah, but he wrote “My dearest, Yanfei” instead of “My dearest Yanfei,” with the comma after my name! Was that intentional or a mistake!
Aether:*enjoying the scenery*
Ayato:*opens door* I’m back Ayaka. How are things?
Ayaka:*drinking tea at the table* Uneventful.
Ayato:Is that so? Hello Aether. Enjoying our garden?
Aether: *20 feet away* Yep! Thought I’d swing by and say hello.
Waiter: Your total will be 1000 mora.
Amber:Okay. That’s easy enough t-
Eula:I’ll handle the tip. *gives 1001*
Eula:What? Did you think I’d allow myself to lose to you? We are both treating her.
Aether:Lose t- I paid the tab! I would’ve let you spend 600 while I gave 500 mora!
Eula:…These are the type conversations that should be discussed beforehand!
Amber:Frankly, I’m just happy you both agreed to this. *smiles* I like this quality time. *holds their hand*
Eula and Amber: *silently bashful*
Mona:*in the middle*….(Why do they insist on me in the middle when one of them will never to pee!!!)
Aether:Uh is this really picture worthy?
Charlotte:I’m just testing out my new zoom function.
Aether:So what, the focus is on my hands?
Charlotte:Uh huh. *zooms in on crop top*
Furina:*head on his lap* Aether?
Aether:*playing with her hair* What’s up?
Furina:Is this what healing feels like?
Aether:I’d like to think so. If not, then we’ll find another way.
Furina:Hmm *closes eyes* This is perfect.
Tighnari:Welcome to the seminar on proper forest travel. Everyone, find a seat.
Collei:*red* N-Nilou? I think there’s a few more chairs.
Nilou:I saw, but all Tighnari said was to find a seat. Someone else can have the chair.
Cyno:You make a compelling argument, but I’m that’s not what Tighnari-
Candace:*sits on Cyno’s lap*
Cyno:Please begin whenever you’re ready.
Tighnari:This is not what I meant when I said “bring a friend.”
Aether:Do you ever wonder what Kokomi writes about in her diary?
Gorou:Not really. It’s her business.
Aether:Yeah, you’re right.
Aether and Gorou:(I can’t let him know she’s let me read the pages about him.)
Aether:Paimon, I’m going on a date. I already made your lunch and dinner.
Paimon:Tell Keqing hello for Paimon.
Aether:…How’d you know it was Keqing?
Paimon:You woke up ten minutes earlier than usual and got a head start on commissions. Now you’re leaving after chores and your braid redone.
Aether:Can you not watch me so keenly?
