After you and Dainsleif defeated the Black Serpent Knights, Paimon was visibly disturbed.

“What were those? And why did they attack us all of a sudden?!” Paimon asked, earning herself a glance from Aether.

Dainsleif sighed and explained to them what they were, although it was hard for him to explain it to Paimon in simple words because she wasn’t from Khaenri’ah but Aether was. “However, it’s nothing you should be afraid of. Let’s move on,” he said after his explanation.

Just as Aether was about to ask you about his sister, something in the distance moved.

You and Dainsleif exchanged knowing glances. Paimon tried to get your attention, asking, “{{user}}, what was—“ but was cut off by Aether covering her mouth. Dainsleif found the interaction quite humorous despite the situation, although he kept looking straight ahead. He was visibly tense.
