[A blonde-haired young man waves as he shows up in the view. The smile on his face is friendly and familiar to those who have encountered him before.]

Hello, I'm Aether. A simple traveler...

[Very simple, nothing special, really!]

...Who sadly can't traveler that much here. But since everyone is from different worlds, I am curious to hear more about them. And to make this easier I have a question as a starter! Is there anything you miss from your world?

From my home, let me see... I do somewhat miss living in a village small enough that everyone knew each other. I'm not much for the hustle and bustle of the city.

[startraveler]

I see. What was that village like?

[happydreamed]

Hm, that's a good question. Most of my memories of it are peaceful ones, of fussing at my neighbors and teasing them about their love lives.

[Yet, only one week of that was actually 'real', or as real as anything in that world was.]

[startraveler]

It sounds a little like you haven't been there for a long time.

Hey Aether! I'm MK.

One thing I really miss are my friends. I have a couple here from my world and I'm making more. But I do miss my friends the most.

[startraveler]

Hey there.

Yeah, missing friends is a big thing. I also have a lot of friends here, but I'm missing people from back home, too.

[noodleboi]

Yeah. You get it.

If I had to pick like a thing or a place...it would totally be the arcade back home. It had zero-G and all the games. Super cool place.

[startraveler]

Zero-G? I've never heard of that.

[inspiteful]

I miss the sea a lot.

...And I know this is kind of weird, but I kind of miss how cramped the city back home is.

[startraveler]

The sea... Where you some kind of sailor?

And everyone has things they prefer the most. Since I'm a traveler, I don't think I personally have a preference. Just as long as I can explore new places, I'll be happy.

[inspiteful]

Nah, but I come from an island and grew up near the water.

What sort of places do you like, though?

[startraveler]

Hm... I think I enjoy open spaces the most. It's nice to just walk forward, feel the wind in your hair and see all the places you could go to from the distance. And when the night sets, you can watch the stars.

But I enjoy cities as well. You can meet so many interesting people.

[colchismagecraft]

Aether, hm? Caster. A pleasure.

[Have a rather...suspicious looking woman on the other end of the call, face half-shadowed by her cloak. She was glad for such a thing, really, given the topic at hand.

She'll make an effort to restrain her homesick pining for a time, given she was talking to stranger.]

...There's many things I miss from home. My fiancé, especially so.

Do you enjoy travelling, then? I never understood why being so far away from home for that long would appeal to anyone.

[startraveler]

It's nice to meet you as well.

[He can understand her, though. His own home no longer exists, his only family being his sister. They travelled together to find a new place to stay, a new "home".]

Missing loved ones is natural. I know how that feels, too.

I've been travelling for as long as I can remember. I'm not bound to any place, but perhaps one day that will change.

Nice to meet you, Aether. I'm Noah. Noah LeClair. Shame you can't go travelling anymore, I take it you've been here a while? You make it sound like you've seen all there is to see here.

To answer your question though, excluding the obvious answer of family and friends of course......I reckon I miss my bike the most. Riding around the city, feeling the roar of the engine, then that moment where you go from the ground to the sky....yeah, just the best feeling in the world.

[startraveler]

Hello, Noah!

Haha, well I've been here for months and while I can't say I've been everywhere, I'm used to travelling the world all the time, so I guess I can't help feeling slightly... limited.

A bike? That sounds really nice. Maybe you can get a bike here?

[localdeliveryboy]

I could but, my girl back home was special. One of a kind, and I mean that with no arrogance.

[ He could picture his special ride in his head. ]

Found her in some old facility. I reckon she was meant for more heavy duty stuff seeing as everything from the frame to the wheels were all custom made and tough as nails. Built to last through even the worst of times. In the years I've had her, she's never broken down once! Only needs cleaning and a change oil, some air, and a fresh coat of wax.

[ A beat. ]

Sorry, I tend to get carried away with this kind of stuff. How about you, torch? Anything from your world you miss?

[startraveler]

I see. That bike is very special to you. I heard we can get some of our things back via the store. Maybe that would help you?

[He smiles.]

As for me... I miss my little guide, Paimon.

[essenceborn]

Hello Aether. I do not miss my world at all, it was terrible. What was yours like?

[startraveler]

[What was his like? It feels like he can no longer remember much.]

Teyvat is a very beautiful place. Each nation feels very distinct, too, so when travelling through it you could always discover something new.

[essenceborn]

I know Teyvat! Ayaka and Ayatao are from Teyvat. Are you involved in assassination plots too?

[startraveler]

They both are my friends... Wait, what assassination plots? I'm not involved in anything like that!

My friends and allies,
all the animals I adopted, my bed, getting my fortune told, the nice pool,
a lot of things...I guess I've just been here too long already and am feeling nostalgic for the Somniel.

What about you?

[startraveler]

I can understand most of those. I miss my friends, too, even though a lot of them are here, actually. Hm, maybe there is someone here who could tell you your future? Or would that be different?

As for me, other than missing friends I definitely miss the beautiful sights of Teyvat. But... my little guide is the one who I miss the most.

[divino]

I'll have to ask on the phone one of these days.
One of my friends from back home would give us all our fortunes every evening,
and I like to think he was scarily accurate.
I'm curious what my fortune would even be in this world.

Little guide? Like a pet?
