[ There's a point in it, he can see that. Xiao doesn't want Aether to become some kind of crutch for his pain, and it also worries him that it might be addictive. His body isn't used to being pain-free, only contained. It's another reason why he keeps away, especially after the time he reached his limits and came over - only to run into Vanitas instead. ]
[Aether doesn't respond right away. He doesn't know Dan Feng too well, considering they don't talk too often. At the same time, he has no reason to distrust the man.]
I think he can be trusted. He helped me out in the past.
Alright. I will speak to him. However, I would prefer to keep my weakness from being known by too many. This place is dangerous, and we already know minds can be affected.

His name is Dan Feng. If you prefer, I can go with you to see him.
no subject
I know that name. I met him very briefly at the hotel when I first arrived.
[ Dan Feng reminds him a lot of Zhongli. ]
no subject
Let me know how it goes, okay?
[He's hoping for the best, but he's still seeking out other options to help Xiao.]

[ There's a bit of a pause again, and then he adds; ]
It maybe safer if you accompany me.
[ Xiao has no idea what Dan Feng is going to do, and Aether is a shield when it comes to his Karmic Debt possibly flaring up. ]
no subject
In that case, I'll be right there with you.
[He'll follow wherever Xiao needs him to go.]

Thank you.
