Subject: Housekeeping Classes!

Hello everyone! My name is Thoma! Nice to meet you! ▽･ｪ･▽ﾉ” (That’s a dog.)

I was just thinking that there are a lot of us here who might be new to living alone or managing things around the house and I wanted to help out. I’m a housekeeper back home, and my duties include cooking, cleaning, mending, laundry, and a few things in-between. These are all valuable skills to have in everyday life!

Usually, I am happy to help where I can, but realistically I can’t clean every house in all of Reverein, so I would like to teach the basics of housekeeping instead. Please let me know if you’re interested and I will schedule some classes! ♡(ᐢ ᴥ ᐢし) (That’s another dog.)



Oh, I also knit so if you want to learn how to do that, I can help there too!

Thanks for reading. Take care everyone!

Hey Aether! I’m feeling pretty good. Well-rested for sure, haha! I heard you helped Diluc keep an eye on me. Thank you. It really means a lot.

Does it? Oh, did you help me set up classes back home, too?

[startraveler]

Don't mention it! You helped me out when I got drunk, so we're even.

I did, yeah. Did Lumine do that for you back home?

[burnbrighter]

She did. You guys are both so sweet. I don't know where I'd be without you!

[startraveler]

You're exaggerating, but I'm glad liked the idea. I'll be looking forward to your lessons!

And if you need anything for your classes just let me know.

[burnbrighter]

I am not exaggerating! You saved my Vision and me, remember?

But I'll be sure to keep in touch if there's anything I need.

[startraveler]

That's what friends do. I'm sure you would do just the same for me.

But speaking of things that are familiar - have you made any fluffy friends here?

[burnbrighter]

I would, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be grateful!

Oh, yeah. I’ve been feeding the strays around town for a while now. They’re a great little bunch of dogs and cats!

[startraveler]

Ah, in that case they've probably missed you a lot too!

Though it's too bad that I didn't ask you about this earlier. I would've brought them some food in your stead.

[burnbrighter]

Haha, yeah they missed me too, but thankfully they didn’t look much worse for wear. They were probably still getting treats from passersby.

[startraveler]

That's good!

Oh, by the way, did you tell Diluc to go to sleep? I don't think he got much rest when you were asleep.

[burnbrighter]

I pretty much insisted as soon as I woke up. He was out before his head hit the pillow!

[startraveler]

That's good. I'm glad.

I was really worried about him. And about you, too.

[burnbrighter]

It all worked out okay in the end, at least! I even got to go home for a little bit while I was sleeping.

[startraveler]

I see. What is the last thing that happened there?

[burnbrighter]

I got to attend the Irodori Festival with Lady Ayaka and Lord Ayato. It was held in celebration of the Sakoku Decree being lifted! Are you familiar? I guess I haven’t asked what the last thing you remember from home is.

[startraveler]

I haven't heard about Irodori Festival. The last thing I remember is... the Shogun deciding to lift the Sakoku Degree.

[He's not going to go into details about how Ei kind of fought against herself before that. It's not his story to tell.]

But Thoma, now that you can travel to other nations freely, you can finally go back to Mondstadt!

[Aether doesn't think Thoma will leave his lady and lord, but visiting his hometown sounds like a dream come true. The traveler still remembers how happy the other was to receive a bouquet of Windwheel Asters.]
