dainsleif stumbles on a few steps back, surprised that he's greeted with a warm embrace from the traveller.
well, it's been a year. truthfully, and he left the poor outlander without a word or so. in which he may have felt desolated.. “ i missed you too . “
boughkeeper
in truth, dainsleif was anxious.
anxious at the idea of aether being angered. but this meeting proved all his worries wrong, and it quickly becomes mirth. perhaps it was the mere thought of his twin - but even so, both of them were left behind. so it makes no wonder why this was the type of reaction he'd get.
he's just as joyous in meeting him. “ i .. simply went after the abyss , “ dain explains. softening gaze falling suite on the smaller blond. “ i apologise for not saying goodbye the last time . “

@boughkeeper a giddy sort of laugh had escaped the blond’s lips, fingers grasping for any sort of purchase against the other’s cape. “ you— you’re back! you’re actually here!- ” oh, did he sound ecstatic. golden eyes practically shining, he went to look up at dainsleif now, wearing a wide grin. “ where were you? you.. were gone for ages! ”

“ you know , traveler . “ childe looks especially forlorn , something clearly worrying at him if he lost his flippant attitude . he’s running a rivulet of water over the leather of his gloves , more to keep himself occupied .
childe glanced over at aether with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes , “ you . . . you really would do anything for your sister , wouldn’t you ? you . you would , right ? “ he cleared his throat , ignoring the waver at the end of his words . it’s rare that childe finds himself in moral conflict , but this mission . . . the stakes . . . what the tsaritsa has asked him to do . . .
“ would you do it even if it hurt other people ? people who . who should /not/ be hurt ? would you do it knowing it would hurt people for sure ? “

⠀⠀„⠀⠀dainsleif would notice subtle changes on the traveller, he has the knack of being observant .. so he would cup aether's visage, delicate on one's touch.⠀⠀❜⠀⠀you've become rather pale, are you not watching over yourself?

@boughkeeper looking fairly surprised by the embrace, the blond made a halfhearted attempt to glance up to him, eyes wide. “ I— it’s fine. ” he attempted to retort with, though the boy seemed to relax his shoulders ever so slightly. rest did, admittedly, sound quite nice… even if he didn’t want to announce such a thing. “ we have a long day ahead of us, anyways. don’t you want to get a head start? “ despite his own words, his voice held a more defeated sort of tone, a frown tugging at his lips.
boughkeeper
⠀⠀„⠀⠀he went silent, clueless on what to do. nor how to even resolve such an issue without uprising any sort of disagreement with the outlander. that was the last thing he wouldn't want to happen, and surprisingly, dainsleif instead pulls aether — giving him a loose yet comforting embrace.⠀⠀❜⠀⠀a small rest would not hurt,⠀⠀„⠀⠀he insists caringly.⠀⠀❜⠀⠀

@boughkeeper aether leaned away from the man, brows furrowing. “ I’m— okay, dain. really- you don’t have to worry. ” the last thing he wished for was for their travels to stop due to him feeling a little under the weather, after all. no, he’d much prefer for them to continue on without disruption, and he was stubborn in the matter. “ can we get going again? please? ”
frostswind
oh? well, look who's back in mondstadt! i haven't seen you in ages. you've been busy, i'm guessing?

@frostswind laughing a little, he waited until he was certain that kaeya wasn’t looking before reaching out to place something in kaeya’s hand— a sango pearl, one of which he had happened to pick up whilst visiting kokomi. “ it’s like a pirate’s treasure, yeah? or, um— / sorta? / “ looking a little embarrassed for a split second, he pulled his hand away once he was certain the pearl was sitting securely in the man’s hand.
frostswind
"on the contrary, i'd /happily/ be tore away from my duties if it means being able to lend my /favorite/ knight." the man flashed the same bright, playful smile as always. then he rose an eyebrow. "close my eye? if you insist." so kaeya put one hand over his visible eye before holding a hand out.

@frostswind aether blinked a few times in surprise at the pat, soon laughing as he reached up to try and grab hold of kaeya’s hand. “ you’ve got stuff to do / here, / don’t you? I wouldn’t of wanted to ‘ tear you away from your duties.’ “ words a little more teasing, he gave a small grin. “ yeah, though! how about you close your eyes and hold your hand out, and I’ll give it to you? ”
