"So, Albedo, what I want is that you keep a watch on my cute twin sister while she travels!" Aether cheerfully declared once they'd seated themselves on the couched inside the room.

"Wait, wait, wait. Didn't you want me to stay here?" Lumine questioned. Aether looked at her with a calm expression as he held a hand near his mouth and laughed.

"Well, I did say that, but I just wanted you to stay here, while they went to fetch my good friend. The political situation in Mond is in an extremely aggressive state, so I suggest you leave for Liyue immediately. Mond is not safe at the moment." Aether replied. Albedo played with his hair while frowning.

"All you want is to dump work on me. Even if my dream gets fulfilled, I'll still be chained to your fool of a sister." he curled the tips of his light blonde hair with his fingers. Lumine scowled at him, ready to kill him.

"No way I'm dumping work on you! I just want you to watch over her since it is not possible for me!" Aether pouted. Albedo rolled his eyes, and left the room. Aether turned to them, with a slight smile.

"He shall agree soon enough. Till then, you are free to stay here. He will not take long." Aether smiled. Kazuha nodded in silent agreement.

"Is there wine here?! Dandelion wine!" Venti shook Aether's hands ecstatically. He pushed Venti away as he composed himself and cleared his throat.

"Please follow Bennett. He will guide you to the storage room, where you may have your pick of wine." Aether pointed to a guy with light grey hair, emerald green eyes, and a small bandage over his nose. Venti nodded happily and followed the boy.

"Could we please get rooms? I'd like to have a peaceful moment of solitude." Kazuha asked politely. Aether gave another business smile, and ordered one of the maids to show Kazuha to one of the guest rooms.

"What about me?" Lumine asked, feeling left out. Aether took her hand, and gently escorted her out the door, a wide smile on his face. Lumine was puzzled, but somehow in her heart, she felt something really exciting was going to happen. Wait, why are you readers reminded of the "We will be reunited" quest? Lumine doesn't understand. Answer her if possible, explaining what that is.

"We're going to go to an opera!" Aether cheerfully announced, as he let loose his composure and tight manner of speech, as he led her down the corridors, out of the gate and towards the stables. He talked with the guard, and procured a white horse. He helped her onto his horse, and seated himself upon it, treating her as gently as possible. His eyes had that brotherly aura that she'd never known would fall upon her, so protectively.

"Lets go." amber eyes meeting a pair of similar amber ones as the latter finally came to know what it was like having an elder brother.
