"Paimon still can't believe you ditched us for two days to play footsie with the Adepti!!!" Paimon scolded Wu. It was the morning after, and they were just about to move onto finding their way to the Jade Chamber.
"Hey, I still have my own priorities..." Wu said. "Remember, I teamed up with you guys out of circumstance." Wu said. "I'm a selfish guy, it's just who I am." Wu shrugged.
"But what if we ever need you, and you're not here?" Aether asked.
"What if. You shouldn't need my help unless you're fighting some giant monster or something, and even then, you're pretty strong." Wu said.
"That's fair, but... we're your friends, Wu. Don't you want to hang out with us?" Aether asked.
"...Your friend, sure. Not so sure about Paimon. And if I had to choose between spending a day with you guys, and spending a day doing worthwhile training, especially with Shenhe, I have to pick the training." Wu said.
"You... you selfish jerk!!!" Paimon barked.
"Ugh..." Wu sighed, averting his gaze. "How about this: I promise I'll help you guys do whatever you do next, no hangups, and no ducking out the moment I get bored." Wu said.
"You shouldn't do it against your will..." Aether said, a frown growing on his face.
"Consider it an act of good will." Wu smiled. "Besides, I'm sure I have no reasons to-"
WHSH!!!
"Son."
Aether and Paimon flinched as Shenhe appeared next to Wu.
"Hey, Shenhe! What's up?" Wu turned to her. "Wait, is it the thing!?" Wu asked, his eyes widening.
"Yes." Shenhe said. "The thing."
...
"WELL, LET'S GO!!!" Wu said, turning on a dime and crouching low.
"Wait a minute there, mister!!! You promised you would help us!!!" Paimon yelled.
"Gah, shit...! Alright, alright! The next thing! I promise! I swear on my entire fucking planet, I'll help you guys on the next thing! You gotta understand how long I've been waiting for this, please!!!" Wu pleaded, pressing his hands together.
"...Alright, Wu." Aether said, unable to keep himself from smiling at the sight of Wu so excited.
"Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Alright, let's go!!!" Wu said, bursting into the sky at Mach 4 as Shenhe leapt after him.

"WHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISIT!?!?!?" Wu yelled on repeat frantically, scrambling into Cloud Retainer's domain practically on all fours.
"Calm yourself, you frantic bush-baby!" Cloud Retainer squawked. "Follow one to the training domain at once. You will find what you desire waiting for you there." Cloud Retainer hmphed, turning around, only for Wu to blow past her and practically break down the doors to the training domain.

Wshwshwshwshwsh!!!
Was the sound of Wu rubbing his hands together as he smiled ear to ear, standing before the training equipment he'd been dreaming of for days.
"Ahem... What you see before you is one's attempt at emulating the weighted training gear you described. Directly in front of you are state-of-the-art training garments, emulated after your own attire, specially crafted to be incredibly light and comfortable when worn, along with being durable enough to withstand the force of your training. While broken into many separate parts, the combined outfit is all connected to an added wristband that doubles as a controller, with which you could adjust the weight of the entire outfit." Cloud Retainer monologued, gesturing to a pile of neatly folded clothes on the floor. "Once one finishes showcasing all of her creations, one will allow you a moment of privacy to change into them-"
