(3rd person POV)
It was a sunny morning and Aether was getting ready to do his commisions, while his little flying companion was still happily snoring. Aether giggled a little at the sounds coming from her mouth, and decided it was the time to wake her up, "Paimon... It's time to get up" he said while shaking her lightly. "Ugh..." The little fairy sighed sleepily "Do you really have to do commissions this early in the morning...?" Paimon said in a slightly annoyed but also worried tone. "I do, Paimon, there's a lot to do every day, I would also like to sleep more, but I really can't" Aether explained. "Fineeee, but you have to cook some Sticky Honey Roast for Paimon for the lack of sleep!" Paimon said happily, already excited for her favorite meal. "Sure sure, whatever you say, Paimon" Aether laughed.
About 30 minutes later the duo finally left Aether's teapot mansion. His daily commissions were in Liyue today... he thinks. Aether sighed as he teleported from the realm. His first commission was simple, just beating up some Hilichurls. He teleported to the nearest waypoint to the commission, he pulled out his sword and started walking closer. "Well bye bye for now!" Paimon almost screamed as she disappeared to whatever void she always goes to. "I wonder to what place Paimon is always disappearing to when were not talking..." Aether wondered "Should I really trust her so easily? A lot of people already told me to not put that much trust in her-" Aether's thoughts were suddenly interrupted as one of the Hilichurls began to attack him, he quickly defeated him and little by little killed the other ones too. His first commission was completed.
Aether finally completed another 2 commissions, he was tired, more than half of his hp was gone, but only one commission remained... it was in Wangshu Inn. "It can't be that hard... I will heal after completing it" He decided at the end. He teleported to Wangshu Inn and started talking to the innkeeper who posted the commission, "Oh! Traveler! I suppose you're here for the commission I posted! I just need you to defeat a few monsters nearby, here let me mark the location on your map" with that the innkeeper left to complete some other business. "Wow, really gave me the time to answer" Aether thought sartastically. Well, he couldn't do anything about it now, he sighed as he checked the map for the location of the enemies, it wasn't that far from here, so he just decided to walk and think a little.
He slowly walked on the path that led to the commission and thought on the way. "I'm so tired... its not just that I wake up way too early but I can't even sleep..." Aether admitted, but only to himself "All this time I've been looking for Lumine... Helping everyone and for what? The most anyone done for me was put up missing posters... I don't really know if somebody actually cares about me or my problems..." Aether thought, almost bursting to tears "And after all those years when I finally meet her again... She's not on my side...?" Aether's eyes watered "Who ever even helped without wanting anything from me first? Amber and... Xiao... not directly with finding my sister, but without him I probably wouldn't be alive right now..." Aether calmed down a little bit from the comforting thought...
Aether finally arrived to the location from the map, to his surprise, no monsters were surrounding the area. "Oh, the innkeeper must have been mistaken, let me just return-" Right before Aether could've finish that sentence, a Lawachurl's shield bumbed right into him. He got really hurt, but he could still fight, he's not weak, he's not gonna give up just like this. He pulled out his sword and with a few swift moments the Lawachurl and the few Hilichurls surrounding him were just a humble memory.
He was still hurt, but he could still walk, with that he returned back to Wanghu Inn, but the whole time he was fighting, he had a feeling someone was staring at him from a far.

"Impressive... for a mortal... or, is he?"
