Sometimes when he makes me angry I look at him through a fork and pretend he's in jail. It heals me spiritually.

Are



Are you two friends?

[He has an ominous feeling. And that feeling comes in the sound of hearing Paimon shrieking from the other side of the house.]

[leafwhistle]

We've spent a lot of time together over the past few months.

You know him?

[brilliantdiamond]

[Thank god this is text, because it means Kazuha won't hear the way Aether is fighting to steal Paimon's magi-comm away as she flies up to the ceiling.]

[There's a delay.]

We've met a handful of times in Teyvat.
And a few more times here in Nippon.

[Answering without answering.]

[leafwhistle]

[uh oh. That sounds evasive.]

You can be blunt with me, Aether.

[brilliantdiamond]

I just think maybe it's something you should hear from him. Especially if he's someone you consider a friend.






At least, if Paimon doesn't tell you first.

[She's totally gonna tell him first--]

We're currently out to lunch right now. Assuming I won't like the answer, I will ask him soon.

I hope it goes





I didn't make a gross face. Paimon's on the ceiling and can't see me very well.

[HE SEES THIS DUAL CONVERSATION and he has to protect his honor okay. Even if the "gross face" he made was to blush in response.]

[leafwhistle]

[This is a strange and vague conversation and he's not sure what conclusion he should be having.]

What sort of face did you make then?

[brilliantdiamond]

It doesn't matter.

Look, this place has a way of changing people. And I don't think it's wrong to hope that it could make someone a better person. I'm not going to pretend I know him well at all, but he's had plenty of opportunities to do bad things here, and he hasn't.

But if you don't already know about what the Fatui did in Inazuma, then you should ask him about it.

[Back when Aether confronted him at the delusion factory, he denied playing a role in it at all. But he didn't exactly stop it, either. And seeing as Kazuha lost a dear friend as a result of the vision hunt decree that the Fatui convinced the Shogun to put into place, it doesn't seem fair not to say anything to him--]

[And perhaps it's only because of the kindness Scaramouche reluctantly offered Aether at the gala that he thinks Scaramouche should be given the opportunity to explain himself first.]
