Aether was sitting on his bed waiting for Kitayuu's answer.
"Alright, but can we be finished soon? I'm really tired."
Aether shook his head, "I can't promise that this will be qui-"
"WOAAAAAAAAH!"
Suddenly, a small flying figure popped out of Aether's bag. She was small, just barely bigger than a baby, but appeared to be older.
"Is this him!?" She asked.
"Paimon! What did I see about just jumping out of nowhere!"
Paimon froze, "Paimon's sorry, she just got a little excited that's all."
Kitayuu was confused, something told him that Paimon was not something anyone was meant to see, she didn't seem to be a memosprite, but rather a companion Aether secretly had with him.
"Uh, what exactly is she now?"
"Emergency food," Aether replied.
Paimon stomped the air as if she were throwing a tantrum, "Hey! No I'm not! We are best buddies. Aether here saved Paimon from drowning so Paimon guides him around Teyvat in return!"

"A guide?" Kitayuu said.
"Why would you need a guide?"
Aether stood up scratching his head, "Well... it's part of the reason why I called you here."
"Woah, mister Kitayuu, is your arm okay?"
Kitayuu took a look at his injury, "Yeah, it should be fine. I had one of my classmates try to heal it up. Just needs some rest now."
Aether grabbed Paimon and put her beside the bed, "Behave, try not to interrupt us."
"Aww, but Paimon wants to talk to your new friend here."
Aether sighed and nodded his head, "Alright, since you basically know about what I wanted to speak to him about. I guess it doesn't hurt for you to tell him."
"Yay! Paimon would love to do that!" She exclaimed excitedly.
Paimon floated up again and began clearing her throat.
"So what Aether wanted to say is that he fell here from another world-"
Kitayuu interrupted upon what he just heard, "Wait, Aether you're not from Teyvat?"
Aether nodded, "Yes... I'm not from Teyvat..."
Paimon stomped the air angrily again and said with a pout, "Hey! Don't interrupt Paimon!"
Kitayuu took a step back and lifted his hands, "Ok ok, my bad. Carry on then."
