[It feels like being at home in Mondstadt to reach out to Aether with a request. He needs a partner for this next hunt through the dark. He'd had a few close calls too many and he'd promised a fair number of people to try to let the world back in.
Who better than someone he wants to know technically again. He'd laid it out in the message. He wants to get information out of the zealots and thin their numbers a bit. Fewer zealots are slightly safer streets. So he waits for Aether to come to the chosen location, his tavern The Roost. He stands behind the bar while cleaning and sharpening his knives.
The black-painted throwing knives have been upgraded to ones forged by the blacksmiths of Willful Machine. He looks up when the door opens and sets them down on the bar top. Then he slips from behind the bar to greet Aether personally. His struggle with dealing with people from a different track of time compels him to do a little more than he normally would. And he nods once,] Thank you for coming. Lock the door and follow me back to the kitchen.
We can talk in there and have something before we go.
