| [Anyway, it's not as though Aether doesn't understand. What happened to him in Mondstadt and Liyue was a fluke. Being chosen by a whimsical god as his new champion and hero? Falling into the snare of a wealthy and powerful Fatui Harbinger? Aether got lucky both times, that's all, and this here in Ritou is far more like the kind of treatment he's used to. This is how the world works most of the time: it turns on haggled coin, bartered goods, secretive favors. As an often powerful, occasionally powerless outsider from another world, this is what Aether knows best.
He knew it was going to come to this the moment Beidou suggested she would crack Thoma's skull in if he pulled any moves on the traveler, but it's fine: he doesn't have any intention of telling Beidou what's happened. They've worked out an agreement, he and Thoma. As long as the "fixer" is going to be helping him get settled in Inazuma, Aether's more than happy to pay him back in favors — but the traveler has little more than his body and his blade to offer, and Thoma seemed much more interested in the former than the latter. Oh, he's surely interested in both, Aether knows that, but one is clearly more personally fulfilling to him at the moment.
Personal fulfillment takes the form of Aether getting on his knees while they're all staying at an inn sponsored by the International Trade Association — something Aether wouldn't have known about or been introduced to very easily without Thoma's help, so isn't it only right that he pays the "fixer" back with a bit of good head?]
So, tell me, Thoma...
[Paimon's in the other room, fast asleep, which is just fine for Aether's purposes. It means he can be a little more vulgar than usual. He finishes extracting Thoma's cock from the man's undergarments, letting his warm breath ghost the tip as he teases, not quite putting his mouth where Thoma likely wants it just yet.]
The agency girl. Did you fuck her, too? |
