\"Comrade.. It's my birthday, i'll even treat you to a meal! Can't you just come to Liyue for a bit? And then i'll go with you to Snezhnaya..\"
Aether, who is currently in Snezhnaya for a quest sighs as he read the letter Childe had sent him. Childe has been insisting Aether to join him either at the Lantern Rite, walking down the Harbor, or even begging Aether to fight him again! Seems like this guy is too desperate to see the traveler.
When it is finally Childe's birthday, he had sent Aether a letter, or perhaps an invitation to his 'birthday party'. Aether thought maybe a trip back wouldn't hurt anyone, does it? He proceeded to close all the quests he had for the day and traveled back to a place that held one of his oldest memories - Liyue.
Aether still remembered the first time when they had met, Childe was protecting him... he remembered only that part, well cause it has been a while isn't it? But since that first meeting, Childe has always been a puzzle of his life that he couldn't risk losing. Aether even brought a present to Childe's birthday! How sweet.
As they met again, Childe hugged him tight and the two of them proceeded to walk along Liyue Harbor, admiring the lanterns that were left from the Lantern's Rite, and just mostly Childe chatting. After the long walk, Childe guided Aether to the most luxurious restaurant in Liyue - Liuli Pavilion.
But as Aether went to the toilet, Childe had put something in the traveler's drink... And a few minutes after Aether had drank it, he felt hot, not that kind that made him sweat but something like... a heat that was drowning his bones in.
And of course, Chile acted worried and brought Aether back to Baiju Guesthouse.
Hi i needed Chilther more...
