[Inwardly, he breathes a sigh of relief. It looks like she's not going to ruin all the efforts they've made. He can't tell her, but her decision now is going to save the lives of innocent people- they'll be able to move forward with their plan to take out those who stand in their way instead of just killing whomever they think is a problem.
He doesn't make any moves forward, and lets her come to him. Nodding, he reaches out to take the USB.]
That's fair. Don't worry, Aether will always be safe as long as I draw breath.
[He takes the USB, but his hand brushes hers in the process. A sharp pain radiates through his entire body, and he doesn't even manage to grasp a hold of the flash drive- instead, he's driven to the ground in pain, dropping to his knees.
It's a bright day in Liyue, and his legs kick as he sits on the side of one of the stone bridges Dihua Marsh, looking out at the beauty of Dragonspine atop the plateau that it sits upon between Liyue and Mondstadt. Across the water lies Sal Tarrae, and he takes a deep breath in to appreciate just being alive. What makes it more special is that he gets to spend it with her. A breeze hits the both of them, the end of the paludamentum on his back flowing backward with it.]
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view, [he says, as he turns to Lumine, her white dress glowing in the sunlight.] Comrade, why don't we have a little spar here? First one who gets knocked into the water loses, haha.
[He doesn't expect her to say yes, but it never hurts to ask just in case she's in the mood.]
