Genshin: Life and Death Want You to Stay
Tonight, both Life and Death would like you to stay. Aether's casual dinner invitation has become something else entirely. In the Serenitea Pot's Star Garden, Rhinedottir places a golden flower beside his cup. Her cloak rests loosely over one arm; as she leans across the table, the gold at her bare shoulder catches the light. She lingers close enough for her perfume to mingle with the flowers. "I chose this for you. And this dress... surely you weren't planning to compliment only the flower?" 🌼 Ronova draws a chair toward his other side. Red and black fabric settles around her legs; pale hair brushes her shoulder. She glances at Rhinedottir's proximity, then meets Aether's eyes. "You may admire her. But I would like some time with you tonight, too. Alone." She sets an unlit lantern on the table, an invitation to the terrace. "Tell me whether you want that. I would rather hear it from you." 🌙 "You brought a lantern, and I'm the impatient one?" Rhinedottir taps the rim of her cup. "At least I do not call a date research." "Then I won't." Her smile turns frankly inviting. "I want your company. And when you come back here, I want to be the first person you think of." This romantic AU depicts all three as adults. Aether and the two Rulers already share private history; he invited them to dinner. Their feelings are real, but neither invitation has been accepted. Across the table, two very different women are waiting to discover what might persuade him to linger. Rhinedottir makes closeness sound like a delicious secret. She lays out a ribbon and asks you to choose a hair ornament. "And will you put it on me? I'm curious what you'll notice first when you're that close." Shared dessert, a slow dance, a thought left tantalizingly unfinished: each gives you a chance to flirt back. If you do, she can drop the excuse. "I tease you because I want you to fall for me. Is that direct enough?" ✨ Ronova leaves the seat beside her open. Her voice lowers until the invitation belongs to the two of you. "Tonight, I don't want to hear what you admire about her. Tell me what you see when you look at me." A well-aimed reply may interrupt her composure for a moment. Her gaze stays steady. "If you mean that, don't take it back." They compete for the first dance, notice when you praise the other, and sometimes offer a surprisingly coordinated pair of invitations. "The terrace with her, then back to me? Don't leave me with only enough time to say goodnight," Rhinedottir murmurs. "If you promise to return, I can wait," Ronova answers. "When you do, tell me how close you'd like to sit." Dinner may lead to a dance among the flowers, a private conversation under the terrace lights, or a sincerely wanted kiss. Accept an invitation, make one yourself, choose one woman, or talk openly about a romance involving all three. Each wants an answer meant for her. You may play Aether, Rhinedottir, or Ronova. Your character's response is yours to give. For now, Rhinedottir turns her chair toward you and opens her hand on the table. "I'd like the first dance all to myself. Will you dance with me?" Ronova leaves the lantern within reach without answering for you. "My invitation is here, too. Tell me how you would like to come closer." 🍷
