#floralalchemy: Act I

given how many people had piled into the building, it wasn't a surprise that Aether would get separated or step aside to maintain a low profile. he'd always been the quieter one — sociable, but preferably on a smaller scale. the decision to hold onto Paimon rather than run the risk of her daily float time expiring or losing track of her as well had proven the wiser call, even if it did obscure the fungi eyes watching from her torso.

naturally, the abundance of treats had captivated her and they'd spent a short while navigating the buffet of sugars and chocolates (her excitement had even gotten Paimon past the rumours of horrors and monsters associated with the night).

but sure enough, they were bound to run into a friend, and had managed to do so in a pretty odd setting. although some would say his usual terrain was odder still. Albedo, with a torn cupcake in his hands, which put on display a green filling that seemed to have his fascination.

"it's a shame Klee isn't here. she'd loved a party filled with cakes. and the sage costume she was given in Sumeru would fit in perfectly".
