[ And a few minutes later, Aether will hear a knock on his door. Gorou's standing there with a small little bundle of sunflowers, and his tail is wagging slowly behind him. It's a rather cute sight for someone like him, but Aether's seen him like this before, so he's not too embarrassed about it. ]
[When Aether hears the knocking, he reaches the door right away and opens. The sight that greets him quickly puts a wide smile to his face. Gorou looks very endearing with tail wagging happily and sunflowers neatly in his hands.]
Hey. So that's the gift for me? [His smile is radiant.] They're really beautiful.. but what's the occasion? Ah, anyway, come in!
[He moves aside and holds the door for his friend to enter.]
I prepared something sweet for you when I heard you're planning to visit.
[Since Gorou told him he has a gift, Aether had to quickly get something for him, too!]
It is. You know Venti from Mondstadt, right? The one who talked about Windblume. He mentioned that flowers could be given to friends for the occasion, too, so I thought I'd drop some off for you.
[ He holds out the flowers to Aether once he's inside of the house. Aether really is too kind, though, what with the sweets and all... ]
Oh-! You didn't have to do that, but it smells pretty good... What is it?
Well, I am a traveler. And a pretty famous one at that. [He adds in amused voice.] ...I get to meet a lot of different people. It's really nice... most of the time.
[He gestures for Gorou to make himself at home as Aether tries to find something to put the flowers in. He doesn't want them to just lie around and die.]
Hm? Oh, you... can eat as much as you like and I will eat the rest?

I'll be there shortly!

[Aether takes the flowers and gives them a careful look, before smiling.]
I see... thank you.
[So it's for Windblume. Aether thinks he shouldn't be surprised that Venti mentioned this. It was the archon's celebration, after all.]
Ah, I made something easy... Just pancakes.
[They turned out pretty fluffy, too!]

[ His tone is a little lighthearted, but he's glad that Aether accepts the flowers -- and equally as glad that pancakes are on the table. Literally.
His ears twitch a little. He's in a good mood. ]
Thank you. You made enough for yourself too, right?

[ Spoken like a true friend! But oh no, the pancake situation just won't do – ]
Let's split it halfway, then. I think that's more than enough for me. Thank you.
no subject
Well, this time they're safe to eat. [He mutters more to himself, then smiles to his friend.]
I can always make more later, too, so don't worry.
