"Traveler, are you okay?" Keqing asked as she and Aether walked.
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit." Aether answered.
"I can tell Inazuma hasn't been very good to you." Keqing said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You know..." She starter with a smile.
"I always say 'when your heart is set on something, you get closer to your goal with each passing day'."
"Do you really believe in that?" Aether asked.
"Of course! Especially for you!" Keqing beamed.
"It's hardly possible when everyone asks for you." Aether stated.
"I understand. Its never enough for anyone." Keqing spoke softly.
"Some things people ask for can be too much for one person."
"But you know what?" Keqing smiled.
"Your health comes first. Take your time to rejuvenate." She said with sincerity.
Aether smiled slightly at Keqing's words, it seemed real but who knows.
"Thank you, Keqing." He thanked.
"I'll keep that in mind." Aether smiled.
"I'll be leaving now. Qiqi wants me to help pick herbs with her." Aether spoke as he turned to walk away.
"Would you like me to join you?" Keqing asked happily.
"No. I'll be fine." Aether turned back to Keqing showing her his face.
The smile was not real. It was fake.
Keqing immediately got worried about what he had planned.
Traveler?
