As soon as the Traveler seemed to stumble, Barbara took a step forward, blocking his path and gently making sure he sit back down as soon as possible. Gliding was certainly off the table as far as the joke is concerned, and her expression stayed one of worry despite his best efforts. His offer to help only earned him a sigh, though it was clearly only due to her care and concern.
“Aether, I believe you’ve been pushing yourself a bit too much…” A hand came to her chin, deep blue eyes looking away as she thought back, “I’ve been seeing you go all over the place these past few days, but come to think of it, I’ve never seen you just actively resting… Have you been getting enough sleep?” She lifted a hand to his forehead, trying to check his temperature, but wasn’t quite sure what Aether’s normal resting temperature was yet to truly tell… Not like much of her healing could help a natural lack of rest anyway.
She sits down across from him, pulling the book that held her vision into her lap, “Are you… still adjusting to this place? If you ever need a place, the church would be happy to help you. I’m sure that, um… that Acting Grand Master Jean would also be happy to give you a place to rest.”
❝ i’m fine — really! and i appreciate the offer. ❞ aether replied, deliberately avoiding answering the question. ( part of him was admittedly grateful to be sitting, though. ) he didn’t really need that much sleep — less than most of teyvat’s inhabitants, anyway. that didn’t necessarily mean he could go without it entirely, however. even now, resting for too long made the traveler feel NERVOUS. as though sleeping too deeply would have him slip into another five hundred years of vicious nightmares. perhaps he was simply being irrational, and yet . . . after everything he had been through, aether couldn’t help but shake the feeling he was RIGHT to be paranoid.
he couldn’t go through that. not again. not when he had so many things at stake. ( friendships. mysteries. a quest for answers. )
❝ it’s . . . just hard for me to sit still sometimes. ❞ aether continued aloud, looking a bit sheepish. ❝ after a while, i start to feel guilty. i think about everything else i could be doing, and most of the time i just . . . end up heading out again, ha. ❞ places to explore. commissions to complete. recipes to learn. ❝ it seems everywhere i go, there’s someone else who needs my help with something. no matter what i say . . . i ALWAYS end up finding myself giving them a hand in the end. ❞
@ragnvindrknight &&. said... "You're stronger than you think."
stronger than he THOUGHT, huh . . . honey eyes peered quizzically over tightly clasped hands. had aether really made it so obvious he was feeling down on himself — ? between his hunched over posture and downward curve of his lips . . . yeah, the blond supposed it wouldn’t have killed him to be a bit more subtle.
❝ maybe. ❞ he tried to force a smile — though it felt awfully insincere. ( an expression made on REFLEX. ) ❝ . . . still not strong enough, i’m afraid. ❞ yeah. that was the problem, wasn’t it? no matter how strong aether was ( or wasn’t ) he still wasn’t anywhere closer to where he wanted to be. lumine felt further away than ever — and that was in spite of finally getting to see her face to face after so long. strength wouldn’t be enough to grant him the answers he SOUGHT — and what strength the traveler had managed to reclaim was still a ( frustratingly ) pale imitation of what he had once taken for GRANTED.
aether sighed, then sat up straight. even so, there was no point in sitting around feeling sorry for himself. he knew that wouldn’t do him any good.
❝ sorry. you probably have to spend more than enough time listening to other people’s problems without me adding to it. ❞ that sort of thing seemed awfully prone to happening in bars. ❝ what have you been up to lately? it’s been a while. ❞

WHAT IS YOUR HATE LANGUAGE — ?
INCONVENIENCE
also known as “being an annoying little shit just to piss you off.” this hate language is small but can really get to your enemies. inconvenience is a hate language in which you do things that you know will generally inconvenience the person you hate. drinking the last of the milk and leaving the empty jug the fridge, putting dishes in the wrong place, things that cause them to do more work, all on purpose. though not all small things, the biggest forms of this hate language are usually in the forms of “pranks.” clownery, trickery, acting like a jester just to drive the people you hate insane. your most likely crime would probably be vandalism, but c’mon it was just a prank. if it’s worth anything though, you’re pretty damn hilarious.

❝ huh — ? uh . . . ❞ aether sat up quite suddenly — which ( in hindsight ) wasn’t the brightest move considering he was currently perched precariously upon an unsteady tree branch. a gloved hand almost immediately scrambled for purchase against the rough bark. there was one pesky apple that was just BARELY out of his reach. ( almost as if it was taunting him. ) he shot the fruit an accusing look, before turning golden hues upon eivor. ❝ no, not at all. ❞
it was his own idea that had landed him in such a ridiculous position. ( as opposed to one of paimon’s harebrained schemes. ) an apple tree, loaded with fresh fruit seemingly ripe for the taking — no pun intended. aether was no stranger to foraging for ingredients to cook his next meal, and coupled with the chillier weather, it seemed like the perfect excuse to make a pie. or . . . pies, considering paimon could easily put one away all by herself. ( her appetite truly WAS bottomless . . . and terrifying to behold. ) he had already collected half a dozen apples, using his scarf like a makeshift sling to carry them all.
❝ these aren’t yours, are they? ❞ it occurred to him then that he didn’t know who the tree actually belonged to. ( if anyone. ) ❝ i just assumed it was fine to take them. sorry about that — i really didn’t want the fruit to go to waste. ❞

@viaethers liked for a starter.
It’s been a while since he’s seen the blonde. Ever since the golden house he’s seemed to keep his distance. Well that’s just unfair of him! He was hoping for a rematch against him. Just the thrill of it was making the ginger rather excited. The thought of finally getting a blade to Aethers throat to show him he’s a worthy opponent to spar with.
“My my my, I didn’t expect to see you comrade. I think I’ve missed you.”
to say his feelings toward childe were complicated would have been an understatement. yes, the other had committed acts aether couldn’t rightfully ignore — but at the same time, there was something so . . . FAMILIAR about him. he could empathize with the desire to protect one’s family. he knew the responsibility that came with being an older sibling. aether supposed he could even understand the thrill of a good fight. ( though he doubted ANYONE could match the harbinger’s enthusiasm. ) it was so easy to write off much of the fatui as his enemies — a collection of cartoonishly evil villains that might as well have spent their free time laughing manically and stealing candy from innocent children. but childe was different. childe had been humanized beyond his allegiances alone.
although that didn’t necessarily mean aether FORGAVE him for the incident at the golden house . . . ( again. complicated. )
❝ well, they DO say absence makes the heart grow fonder. ❞ the traveler quipped, a touch of sarcasm coloring his voice. ❝ did you really miss me or did you miss fighting me? ❞
you try to poke fun at aether for being short and he looks you dead in the eye and SCUTTLES up the cabinet shelves. ( in record time. )
@boughtastar &&. said... ❛ are you sure you’re okay ? ❜ ~barbara boughtastar
❝ oh, definitely. ❞ aether replied on reflex, flashing the deaconess his most reassuring smile. ❝ never better, thanks to you! in fact . . . i’ll just be getting out of your hair, now. ❞ of course, the moment he tried getting up ( already mulling over where to go NEXT ) the world itself seemed to go a bit sideways — or was he really that unsteady on his feet? ah, maybe the traveler wasn’t as okay as he would have hoped. the blond took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye, and . . . yeah, there was no way barbara didn’t see him stumble a bit there. that was . . . embarrassing.
aether rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, fingers dragging over thick bandages interwoven with golden locks. okay. maybe that hilichurl got him better than he thought.
❝ well, i’ll . . . probably hold off on any gliding for the time being. ❞ a joke. one that fell a bit flat, all things considered. ( he just didn’t want her to WORRY. ) aether knew the smartest move would be to take it easy while he recovered. unfortunately, the traveler had never been good at staying still for very long — especially after how much time he had spent asleep. every moment spent doing nothing, even if all he did do was as simple as catching the sunset or trying a new food, felt like a moment wasted. another setback pushing him farther and farther away from lumine. ( whose absence ACHED like an open wound. )
still, acting recklessly and running off now would probably only lead to MORE injuries. ❝ you don’t need a hand with anything around here, do you? you know, while i’m here. ❞ at least he could try to compromise.

🐝 * ― 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒. ( all of these are just some random sentences i thought could be fun to use. feel free to adjust to better fit your muses. )
❛ alright, you’ve won. happy now ? ❜ ❛ are you sure you’re okay ? ❜ ❛ can you say that again ? ❜ ❛ come on, are you serious ? ❜ ❛ do you come here often ? ❜ ❛ don’t do this to me. ❜ ❛ don’t leave me alone again. ❜ ❛ forgive me. just this once. ❜ ❛ go and never come back. ❜ ❛ have you lost your mind ? ❜ ❛ i already knew about that. ❜ ❛ i can’t trust you anymore. ❜ ❛ i did it for you. ❜ ❛ i have to do this. ❜ ❛ i think i’m in love. ❜ ❛ i will wait for you. ❜ ❛ i won’t let you down. ❜ ❛ i’m always here for you. ❜ ❛ is now a bad time ? ❜ ❛ it’s okay. i’ve got you. ❜ ❛ just pretend to be happy. ❜ ❛ now what do we do ? ❜ ❛ oh, don’t pretend you care. ❜ ❛ please believe me for once. ❜ ❛ probably not, but who knows ? ❜ ❛ sometimes, you can be infuriating. ❜ ❛ stop ! we can’t do this ! ❜ ❛ tell me what’s going on. ❜ ❛ there’s nothing left to say. ❜ ❛ this’ll be the last time. ❜ ❛ we can’t keep doing this. ❜ ❛ well, are you ready then ? ❜ ❛ what are you talking about ? ❜ ❛ what are you waiting for ? ❜ ❛ where should we go next ? ❜ ❛ why did you do it ? ❜ ❛ will you go with me ? ❜ ❛ you are everything to me. ❜ ❛ you can talk to me. ❜ ❛ you deserve to be happy. ❜ ❛ you really have no idea. ❜ ❛ you’re hot when you’re mad. ❜ ❛ you’re going to be okay. ❜ ❛ you’re out of your mind ! ❜ ❛ you’re stronger than you think. ❜
squints at the EMPTY CUP in his hands and wills it to ( somehow ) fill with hot chocolate. it’s too cold for this. . .
aether is DISTINCTLY not of teyvat — that means he isn’t bound by its rules and restrictions. specifically, he is entirely immune to erosion. on the contrary, he actually suffers from something akin to the opposite; he remembers everything. not with perfect clarity, but about the same as any other person. ordinarily this wouldn’t be much of a problem, but aether is absolutely ancient. he is eons older than even the STARS themselves, with the mindset of someone ( mostly ) human. time has not worn down his memories, his emotions, his capacity to form attachments and CARE. this is as much of a blessing as it is a curse.
he holds bonds with people he met hundreds of worlds ago near and dear to his heart, as though he saw them yesterday. cherishes memories of eons past. quietly mourns the loss of a thousand friends — and could just as easily mourn a thousand more with the same fresh agony. his body is immortal, but his thoughts ( his soul ) are so painfully MORTAL. he’s been alive for such an incomprehensibly long time. he remembers so much, and he’ll never grow numb to it.
lumine USED to be the only constant in his life. someone who would always be at his side no matter how many years passed by — but of course, that isn’t exactly the case anymore.
this does mean the friendships aether forms in teyvat are completely genuine. immortal or otherwise, he’ll remember everyone, long after this world returns to dust. it’s a very bittersweet experience.
