[ why he gotta make it awkward by turning back into himself. Aether makes a slight erk face before puffing his cheeks just a little, still clinging onto Childe out of spite, before sighing and letting go. ] But you aren't soft and cuddly.
[ there he agreed Childe is cute as Childe. ...sort of, at least. He's got a nice face to look at, that's probably enough? Luckily, a new topic is brought up which has Aether forget all about thinking on that further, because he was suddenly starting to sweat about whether agreeing with his comment might go to his head. ]
Is that even possible? [ sounds pretty funny like a joke, but Aether can't exactly find himself totally against the idea. Even if the producers are terrible to the idols. ]
...hah! Me? soft and cuddly?? Good one, Aether. I never knew you were such a comedian. [ snorts. ] But you hung on there for a lot longer than I would have expected, so you must like me, huh? [ sneers. ]
I don't see why not. Maybe all three of us can do something to influence the choice. A lot of the other teams here, while, perhaps not bad, Wild City is something special - like a family! And who better to join that some real family. It'll make it easier to protect each other too.
You're the one that said you had to go to the bathroom and then came back with ice cream. That's definitely a little sus, comrade. [ laughs, giving it a taste. ]
[ HE IS NOT BUYING IT, but he'll offer a smile regardless. ] Alright, comrade, we'll sit in the front then for the wildest ride. [ going to find a seat, so he can eat his ice cream more comfortably. ]
[ pinches his cheek. ] How cute~ but I'm real glad that you guys got to spend a little bit of time together, and we'll just have to put our heads together in finding a way to get you here permanently.
[ his turn to blush at the cheek pinching and the cute comment, but he decides he can just move in stride with it this time, smiling — or, beaming, really. Childe is so kind and considerate when he wants to be. ]
That's great of you, Childe. Don't go overboard and put yourself out over it, either, though. I'm content knowing you'll look out for her, if that's how things have to be.
I am known for never! ever!! going overboard. [ a shit eating grin. ] I can at least make an attempt. I enjoy your company too, comrade, but... I will do my best. Like I said, Wild City puts itself first and foremost and we're something akin to a family. I really do think you'd made a great addition. [ leans on him as he finishes off his ice cream. ]
[ perks at this revelation. ] You do? [ BAAWW THAT'S THE NICEST THING SOMEONE HAS SAID TO HIM ;O; ... Zhongli said something similar too but let's focus on the moment of it being the nicest thing ever right now. ]
I most certainly do. [ drapes an arm around him and yanks him impossibly closer. ] And I'm sure your sister would obviously feel the same. And the rest of Wild City too.
Ah ha, so this is what Childe is like when full-force big brother mode but not destroying an army of Mr. Cyclopses.
[ Aether approves and wraps his arms around the other's midsection to give him a hug, and he doesn't even have to be a cute furry animal this time to get it. ]
[ he doesn't mind the hug at all. scoops up aether, tucking him under his arm, and then getting up from the bench. AETHER MADE IT EASY TO DO THIS, SO HE ONLY HAS HIMSELF TO BLAME. ]
Roller coaster time. [ ... ] But you always do your best, so I'm sure we have nothing to worry about. [ he's carrying him to the front of the coaster. ]

[ shoves the plush for Lumine in Childe's arms and goes to leave in the direction of the nearest anything. ]

Re: morning 366
leaves.
comes back maybe five minutes later with two ice cream cones, offering one up to Childe as Aether puts the other ice cream to his mouth. ]
Here, see, because I like you.
Re: morning 366
Tell me these didn't come from the bathroom. [ takes the SUS ice cream cone!!! ]

Re: morning 366
[ aether, bud,
are you okay??? ]
...uhuh, well, do you still want to go on the coaster? Probably should have waited to eat something in case you get sick.
Re: morning 366
[ and during.
Just... no swimming for fifteen minutes after eating. That is the one rule he never ignores. ]
