(a/n: yes, the 4.7 archon quest but i altered it a bit, some fluff as a sorry for the angst chapters.)

her footsteps can be heard, aether turned around, shocked at the sight of his sister. it's been so long since he last met her... his whole journey is to find her, seeing the purpose of this journey just appeared before his eyes, words cannot describe his feeling.

confusion, excitement, emotional and shocked. emotions swelled his heart as he walks closer to lumine, his dear sister, he gently put a hand on her face. yet, only blue particles came out from his touch. 

lumine simply smiled, walking through him. while he checked his hands, questioning if it's his fault that he can't interact with her.

"caribert is not in this space anymore, that's why we're not tangible" - her usual soft voice rang through out the empty space. - "if that was not the case, i'd love to hug you too."

with wide eyes, he looked away in slight sadness, they followed lumine, as she asked for a conversation. 

...

the space outside feels comforting, the gorgeous cold and warm colors of sunsets painted the "sky". they sat there in comfortable silence, an island not too far away is showing off its vibrant color. the palm tree flowed slightly, its wide leaves springing out from all directions.

aether sighed, looking over lumine. even though he is well aware of the fact that they can't physically interact, he still tried to hug her. little did they know, caribert's consciousness is still there, letting things happen. he felt confused when his gloves gripped to lumine. he looked up, and saw lumine expression. a twinge of surprised but also happiness.

they embraced, aether blinked away the tears, he wanted to scold lumine, for making him wait. he buried his face on her shoulder, silently sobbing. he quivered, biting his lip to stop himself.

"aether, you've got to be strong for lumine..."

lumine wrapped her arms around him, staying still while she looks distraught herself. "i don't even know how to face myself sometimes, even my own brother" she thinks.

they sat there, as aether cried his heart out. he blabbered about how much he missed her, how he wanted to scold her so badly, how burden he is, he went on for 3 minutes. lumine responded with answers, affection and back pats. she was surprised to see her own brother in this state, he always seem so strong, but people only cry if they've been strong for too long.

she answered his questions, stated about how she hates the heavenly principles. she knows that the reason they were apart in the first place is because of them, aether need to rescue all of teyvat. so much, only for finding her again. 

aether never know that the one who's he looking for, always watch him.
