It might be possible to buy them off-season...
[ from... enterprising merchants, of course. he knows full well that moon cakes don't actually come from the moon, but after seeing how sad qiqi looked after finding out that coconut milk doesn't come from cocogoats, he's not about to break her little heart again... ]
Maybe we can ask Baizhu to get you some.

Some fool I am.
You would be pretty dependable if you didn't lie about things that don't need lying about, though.

No, the people of Mondstadt seem to trust you just fine.
The Knights of Favonius all seem to like and admire you.
And it's as I said: I wouldn't trust anyone else with this kind of favor.
[ but being trusted, aether thinks, isn't the same as wanting others' trust. ]

[ that's... actually a good question, and the answer to it isn't easily put into words. the most honest answer is that aether is the same way, but to say as much would paradoxically belie his own point, and in the end, he sidesteps talking about himself. ]
a traitor will always ask you to trust him
the man who doesn't want to be trusted has at least thought, once, that he doesn't want to hurt you

of course, i would have preferred it if you had said it was due to my magnetic personality and unflappable charm

You could also say, "Since I'm such a generous and well-compensated Cavalry Captain, and you are a transient youth with no place of fixed employment, don't worry about paying me back."
You could also say that.
[ imagine his pleading eyes, kaeya. his pleading, generally expressionless eyes. ]

I've already broken a few laws. What's one more?
[...Curiously, that's a bit of a non-answer — sure, it implies that he is underage, but it's not quite yes, not quite no. It's not a number, that's for sure. Still, if the traveler is going to be cagey about it, that's his right.
He leans back in his chair, casually weary.]
I stole the bottle because one of the adepti requested that I take it back to him. Apparently it's a sacred relic of some sort. The funny thing is, he only wants the bottle, and doesn't care about the wine... whereas the officials working with the Qixing think that the relic is the wine.

[ oh.
phew.
that's... a bit of a relief... ]
Of course we can share a bed, Razor.
I'm probably not as fluffy as a wolf, but I can pet you before we sleep, if that's something you'd enjoy?

I won't stop you.
[Aether is a special case, in Childe's opinion... He's powerful enough to have certain rights in his mind. And laws about drinking have never been Childe's main concern in the first place.
He looks at the bottle curiously for a second, then back at Aether.]
If you want to try it, I'll have someone bring in a glass for you. But are you sure the adepti won't mind?
I can have someone bring in a different bottle of wine as well.
