Ah, uh—?[ Aether shows his surprise openly at the question, none or not. How unexpected a question?! ] I... uhm, if she's okay with it, I don't know if I can stop her, anyway. I guess I wouldn't be okay with it if she's not, obviously. But, otherwise, you know... she's gonna do what she wants, ah heh. [ He has no idea what Albedo may even be referring to, and his train of thought just immediately goes to along similar ideas of what he's tested with Aether. Lumine went through those same things, so it's not like he'd be protecting her from anything if he didn't give his consent, as far as he knows.
All he knows for sure is that what he says is only a formality, at best, anyway. He doesn't have any push or pull on anyone's decisions, and that's most of all true with his his sister. That's what happens when no one knows who you are. Your influence, if you ever had any to begin with, goes poof.
In the case of Lumine, though, it's all the result of just typical sibling stuff. ]
As you've said, Traveler, she will do as she wishes. Then, are you implying that I may behave similarly by dismissing what you most covet solely because I was given her hypothetical approval?
[ albedo carries on with his harmless charade. he didn't come here for this, really; the question is more of an afterthought than something predetermined. but aether's answer is unsatisfactory, strongly emphasizing on his sister's personal decisions and nothing more. ]
Aether is starting to sweat, admittedly. These are questions he isn't prepared to answer and when Albedo words then as he does, Aether is uncertain about his previous answer. At the very least, the alchemist is very good at getting Aether to agree with him that his previous answer wasn't good enough and he didn't even have to give his opinio on it. ]
T..hat...uhm, hm. [ the Traveler clears his throat gently as he thinks on this before ultimately craning his neck to look back at Albedo. ] I mean, isn't this the part where I trust you're not going to do anything that I would freak out about you doing because we're friends...? I can trust you with my sister...??
[ ... yes. yes, you can, aether. he's just kidding. don't kick him out of your life —
but his mug is splendidly empty after he reaches for it once more, belly full and warm. the ceramic itself sits by the edge of his side of the table, like a silent insistence that he'll be washing it on his own before he makes his little departure from aether's home. for now: albedo does not return to his sketch, almost halfway to completion; he decides it might be more interesting to simply observe his friend. ]
Perhaps the better question to deliver is: what will cause you to conveniently... 'freak out'?
[ that might yield a more personalized answer compared to a moment ago. hopefully?? ]
