[Childe lets Aether do with him as he pleases to make sure that he doesn't have any hidden injuries that maybe he didn't even know about, watching him look over the rest of him just in case. He's glad to see that Aether seems used to this kind of thing, because even if he tries to prevent himself from getting hurt, surely this will happen again...]
I'm doubtful that my future self knew how to use them either...
[The Harbinger laughs nervously, knowing full well that there's no way he had enough time between Liyue, going back home and going to Inazuma to practice using chopsticks. If anything, the chopsticks he was gifted from Mr. Zhongli probably got left in its case in his kitchen with nothing to use them on.
Maybe he should learn to make some Liyuean and Inazuman cuisine. Teach him!]
You're a good cook too, aren't you Aether? In your travels, did you learn to make food from Liyue and Inazuma?
[Aether would prefer that treating Childe's injuries wasn't an often occurrence, but he knows the Harbinger won't stop seeking new challenges. Maybe Aether should stock up on bandages...
After a moment he lets go of Childe and sits back in his chair. Then the topic of cooking makes him blink, before he smiles.]
I know quite a few actually. Do you want me to cook some for you so you can practice with chopsticks?
[That doesn't sound like a bad idea and it's been a while since the last time Aether cooked for anyone either. He'll be happy to do it.]
[He taps his finger against his bottom lip. He doesn't want to just eat the delicious food from those regions. He definitely wants to make it himself too.]
I'd like to be able to cook some of it as well. I don't know many recipes outside of Snezhnayan ones, and I think it would be a delightful activity for us while I recover. You'll teach me, yes? And after that, we can have a little cook-off to see who's dishes are the most delectable.
Oh, I'm sure I can procure a judge or two for our little competition.
[He rattles off a few people, standing from the couch to let Aether give him the tour of his apartment. He thinks he's going to like it here for a while...and after he recovers, he'll make sure he's here more often.]

[Because cooking is a form of battle too!]

I can teach you, that's not a problem at all. But you have to teach me your Snezhnayan recipes in return.
[He grins a little.]
As for a cook-off... we'd need a judge for that.
[It wouldn't be fair if it's just the two of them.]
