Trying to stare at Lyney for longer didn't seem to work, so he ended up rolling his eyes with a playful smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Can't rush an artist, huh?" The blond pressed his hands on his waist. "At least you'll notify me about your next show? I'd love to attend."

The golden irises showed a certain twinkle of curiosity and excitement at the prospect of a new magic trick coming from Lyney.
In a world where elemental energy exists, tricks definitely had an added twist that Aether felt interest towards. At this point, he was almost giving Lyney puppy eyes.

The traveler's lips curved into a smile at the sight of Lyney.
"Travelling here and there. Doing commissions. You know, the usual."
Then he leaned into one leg while resting his hand on his hip.
"What have have you been up to since the last time we saw each other? Any new tricks?"

Due to the unbearable raise of temperature lately, Aether decided to stay closer to the coast wherever he goes.
This time, he chose a secluded coast in Liyue to enjoy a cool bath in the sea. Perhaps he'll feel up to doing the rest of his commissions after he has cooled down.

It's hot. Unbearably so. It might be a signal to avoid Sumeru during summer. The atmosphere is humid and he cannot stop sweating and feeling gross because of it.
At this moment, he'd take Dragonspine's frigid cold over this torture.

"Ah, well, yes. If I wanted to." Aether gives a small shrug. "The city is quite big, and I doubt people appreciate that I pop up all of a sudden."
ㅤ
Wanderer rolls his hand in the air while sighing exasperatedly.
Surprised by the sudden question, Aether blinks owlishly. "Following you? The path only goes down one way." He glances at Wanderer with an arched eyebrow.

ㅤ
ㅤ"Why are you following me?"
Realizing that this is as much as he can get around Wanderer's walls, Aether sighs. He falls into step beside Wanderer, keeping a respectable distance between them as an uncomfortable silence falls. There's no other path he can follow into the city anyway, he's stuck with the awkwardness.

He offers a curt nod before turning around to leave.
Aether chuckles dryly. "Yeah, I didn't expect anything else." It is hard to tell if he feels hurt by Wanderer's dismissive attitude. Luckily for Aether, his connection to the puppet isn't too deep, greatly sparing his feelings.

ㅤ"Why should I bother?"
"It's not a secret," Aether shrugs. He is unsure to what extent that might be a lie. It's true that people don't ask about his past too often, but he doesn't freely talk about it either. "Besides, you are not really interested in knowing me, or are you?"

ㅤ
Wanderer clicks his tongue in annoyance.
ㅤ"You've seen all of my past, and in reality, I barely know you."
He had witnessed the collapse of his homeworld many years ago, the detonator that started their journey as space travelers. He's not immortal, but it seems, in some worlds, he far exceeds the life span of other mortal beings. There was no way of knowing his real age anymore
"It really is not."

ㅤ
He looks away, the weight of centuries weighing on his shoulders, even if he’d never admit it. For a moment, he feels a flicker of comprehension towards the traveler. How old is the outlander really? 600 might cut it short.
He playfully rolls his eyes, but there's a hint of relief in his tone. "Hey, I still look really young." He pauses, studying Wanderer with newfound curiosity. "And you're not much younger than me."

ㅤ"Wow, you are a total grandpa in human years."
He shrugs, trying to maintain his aloof facade.
Aether can't help but chuckle at Wanderer's attempt at humor, despite the gravity of the situation. "Midlife crisis? I'm barely six hundred and something."
For a moment, the bleakness eases, replaced by a tentative connection with the puppet.

ㅤ"Sounds like you're having a midlife crisis, minus the luxury of actually being middle-aged." He attempts to lighten the mood with a sarcastic remark. He's really bad at the whole human feelings thing after all.
The traveler winces at Wanderer's harsh assessment. "Fair enough." He runs a hand through his hair, frustration evident in his tense posture. "I'm stranded here, my only kin has turned her back against me. The reason behind my journey is now practically meaningless."

Aether shakes his head, a fake smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "It was never my intention to 'save the world'. Although, I cannot sit idly while people are suffering around me... What concept do you really have of me?"

"Maybe." He hesitates, the word hanging between them like a fragile thread. "I'm just tired of getting caught up in everyone's problems." His voice is quieter now, almost to himself. "Or trying to run after someone who doesn't want to be found."

ㅤ
He genuinely thinks Wanderer is the last person he should relay his troubles on. Their... 'mutual trust' is fragile and too recent to be safe. Aether decided that a shallow answer is best.
"I'm merely rethinking my journey."

Looking down at his feet, Aether struggles to find the right words. How does he explain the confusing jumble of feelings that have been building inside him? Although he doubts Wanderer cares about his feelings to begin with.
"Telling you wouldn't change a thing."

Quickly pulling his hand back, Aether holds it close to his chest. "I don't know what came over me..." He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. It seems his emotional turmoil is affecting his decision making. It's not like him to be like this.

Before Wanderer can take another step, Aether reaches out instinctively, grabbing his wrist to halt his retreat. "Wait!" The words tumble out before he can stop them, surprising even himself.

Startled, Aether takes a step back, blinking rapidly as he tries to process the sudden confrontation. He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, feeling a bit guilty for causing such a reaction. "Didn't mean to run into you like that. Sorry about that."
