"Oh hi Kazuha! You're staying in Liyue?" Paimon asked happily.
"Hello Paimon and Traveler. Yes, I'm staying in Liyue for a while longer as Captain Beidou has some matters to attend to." Kazuha spoke softly.
"Ohh! Okay! What are you up to?" Paimon beamed.
"I was just looking around." Kazuha answered.
"Fun! Well I'm gonna go talk with Xiangling, see you soon Aether and Kazuha!" Paimon waved with a smile as she floated away.
Kazuha waved goodbye back to Paimon then turned to Aether. Aether was stood still with his back facing Kazuha and he seemed lost in his thoughts.
"Traveler?" Kazuha asked which pulled Aether out of his thoughts.
"What?" Aether replied coldly still facing away.
"Are you alright? did you not rest well yesterday?" Kazuha asked with concern in his voice.
"No." Aether answered blatantly.
"You're not tired? Don't you have commissions today?"
"Of course I'm tired, Kazuha." He answered smiling tiredly.
"Why should I do things for other people?" Aether started.
"I don't know why it's so hard for people to fight."
"Why is it so difficult for someone to do something as simple as delivering a letter." He continued.
"I'm tired."
Kazuha stood staring at Aether, taking in everything he is saying. His face full of concern.
"When will this stop?" Aether asked.
"Traveler?" Kazuha said with worry as he placed his hand on Aether's shoulder.
"Are you alright?" Kazuha asked making Aether turn to face him.
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, Kazuha. I'm going to do my commissions." Aether said before walking away.
"Bye." Aether waved.
Kazuha was left shocked. His friend who was once so happy and bubbly was gone. Instead he was replaced by someone who is tired and empty.
