Xiao POV:
I peacefully listened to my beloved Aether talk about his world-wide travels before settling in Liyue after his sister's death and Paimon leaving to go and travel by herself.
While I finished up my almond tofu, I saw Morax walking towards us with an expression that expressed great sorrow and pain.
"Morax.." I said slowly, feeling the uneasy way he looked, I felt the need to be cautious. He slowly approached the empty seat at the Adeptus' old table that once belonged to Guizong.
"Ah, Mister Zhongli...." He had a worried expression as well.
He felt it too.
Morax slowly looked up with deadly glare. I could feel the intensity from it.
"Childe is dead"
I looked at him in shock. Childe, a Fatui Harbinger, a person who could be beaten by Aether barely, is.....dead? Though I had a distaste for the man, but I never hated him so much that I wished him to die.
"W-What?! Childe is-" Aether tried to form words but in his struggles were cut off by Morax.
"Dead."
Tears welled in Aether's eyes, refusing to spill. I silently looked down as I felt guilt, I knew how much that man meant to Morax.
"Xiao, I have a question..." Zhongli spoke slowly, I simply nodded in response. "Is Aether mortal?"
