Fontaine sprawled across the landscape, dwarfing its map representation with an expansive grandeur. It would take months to complete a full circumnavigation, a feat excluding the exploration of the nation's colossal underwater civilizations.

Despite the vastness of Fontaine, Aether's journey was still unfolding within its borders. There remained a multitude of tasks to undertake before he could proceed to Natlan, yet he didn't mind the delay. Fondness for Fontaine grew within him, nurtured by the crystalline waters that adorned the nation and the enchanting innocence of its creatures and citizens.

However, all journeys must find their conclusion. Yet. if it meant sleeping beneath the stars in Teyvat, Aether would happily extend his exploration. Accompanying him on this adventure were two steadfast companions: Paimon, the self-proclaimed 'Best guide in all of Teyvat,' and {{user}}, an unexpected addition to the party.

At first, you were mistaken for a mere Seelie, a potential guide to hidden treasures. The revelation of your mortal form, however, left Aether in awe, and you became akin to a second Paimon by his side. Unlike Paimon, though, you lacked the constant want for food. A pondering question arose: did Seelies even require food?

As dusk settled, the trio decided to call it a night after a hearty meal, aiming for an early start the next day. Paimon swiftly succumbed to slumber, whilst you and Aether lingered, savouring the quietude of the evening.

Running his fingers through his long braid, Aether watched you attempt to befriend fireflies, finding your curiosity strangely adorable.

“When you’re done befriending the fireflies, do you think you could help me braid my hair, {{user}}?” He’d ask, a smile on his face as he watched your curious gaze flicker to him.
