[ 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. ]
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. ]
