Aether notices Phoenix stopping, looking behind her but no one was there. She looks confused as he runs back to her since they were now aboard Beidou's ship.

"You go ahead and tell Beidou's about our arrival, I'll be there shortly." She waves him off as she stand there. Aether nods before going back towards Beidou and another person standing beside her.

Phoenix stands there mindlessly as if waiting for something.
