Summary
“I… I lost it.”Aether’s eye twitches. “Where…” he drags a hand over his face, “where did you last see it?”
Xiao hesitates. “...On—”
“If you say you last saw it on the bed, I’m going to force it down your throat when I find it.”
Aether just wants Xiao to sleep. Nothing ever goes to plan.

“Paimon,” Aether says, voice strained, “I need you to shut up.”“Wha’?” she grumbles grouchily around a mouthful of chicken. “‘m jus’ ea’in’.”
“I’m going to eat you if you don’t shut your mouth.”
Another night, another attempt at getting Liyue's ever-vigilant yaksha some much needed rest. But of course, another hurdle pops up and Aether looses yet another sliver of sanity.

Summary
“He said— they said— but they were saying—” Ginger hair flies as Childe throws his head to and fro, arms flailing and eyes blown wide. “He— Xiao said you guys were ‘sleeping together’! He said you were ‘helping him relax’! And then— And then Zhongli was saying it was the kinda relaxation he deserves, or something, and—!”It takes a minute for the double meaning to compute in Aether’s exhausted brain, but a choked sound emits from behind gritted teeth when it does.
Whilst Aether has been continuing his journey in Sumeru, Xiao is left to consider the changes in his feelings for the esteemed traveller. Oh, and Childe is an idiot.

Summary
“Aether?”
“This is your last question for tonight,” Aether warns. “What?”
“What is a face card?”
“A face card refers to a person’s physical attractiveness and is a way of saying that someone is so beautiful they could probably get anything they want,” Aether tells him in one breath, eager to go to bed.
“I see.” Xiao nods to himself. “And that is—”
“Yes that’s all there is to it,” Aether hastily cuts him off. “Will you stop doing that?”
Overloaded with new understandings, Xiao can only make a small noise of assent. Aether takes it to mean that he’s finally found all of his answers and they can rest now that the yaksha’s curiosity has been sated, but he takes it with a grain of salt. After all, Xiao could recover from his knowledge-overstim at any time—
“Aether, do people still engage in cannibalism today?”
As it turns out, returning to a prosperous city after years of being out-of-the-loop can be pretty confusing.

Summary
The alchemist hums. “You are quite the interesting specimen.”
“Thank you… I think.”
“Please, don’t mind him,” Jean says, placing a hand on the blonde man’s shoulder and squeezing lightly. “Albedo has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. We… don’t have any adepti here.”
Xiao eyes them. “Yes, I… I know.”
Aether gets sick. Xiao gets a crisis.
