Who: Aetós + Appointments What: A catch-all for threads with Aetós in April Where: Various When: April Notes: NPC Interactions can be requested via the this page!
[ There’s a short, laughed out hm, but the little twinkle of amusement is there, though also cut off almost sharply. ]
It’s good to know that she’s so important to you as well. Unexpected, but good to know. [ Is that a threat made in return? Who can say. ] But so long as you deliver on our agreement, then she will be. Despite what you may have guessed because of the journal, I don’t antagonize those I work with purposefully.
I did hope that would be the answer. I do think we work well together, as we understand each other rather well.
[ Other than the initial shock of seeing Jinx's other name, Silco had been hoping that was the case. Her shard was with him. That's the most important thing. That's -- More than anything -- the most important. Whatever Aetós had written down, he wouldn't let anyone take her away from him. As long as Aetós had no plans for Jinx, whatever thrum of fury and anger bubbled beneath the surface of cold water of Silco's communion, it's quick to settle.
Though he wonders... if he should send Vander and the rest of them on a wild goose chase looking for her.
Perhaps. He'll think about it. It would be worth it, to see them looking for nothing, while he held Jinx safe with him -- and Silco would burn a universe for that. (It was her shard, of course, but Silco thought of it as her, even now.) Well, he would consider it. ]
I will not take any more of your time. I'm sure you're just as busy as I am, and while time may be... easy to conjure for you, I suspect I'm going to be hearing from an old foe at some point over this. I'd like to prepare.
Indeed. Based on some things I have been hearing, I imagine you are correct. Besides this matter, Meridian is looking into Birdie’s disappearance, naturally.
[ And, with the smallest note of amusement: ]
I have heard that there are flyers, even. If you haven’t seen one, you should try and obtain a copy of Birdie’s. It might give you a laugh.
Indeed. I believe some are aware of her ultimate fate. But that also means it does not particularly matter if they come to chat with you. I'm sure you have a good story in place for how Drauamhol came into your possession.
[ Or even if it’s not… It doesn’t matter to Aetós. They don’t expect anyone to be able to pry the truth out of Silco in the first place, but even if someone did, they would simply discover that they were working together. It’s inconsequential information. ]
Regardless, I will be laying low for a while. Without the Zoo, I have other projects that need to be pursued for the time being. I will let you know when I am ready to try a dose of Shimmer.
I do, and some have come calling already. [ Kaeya did him quite the favor, coming out with the fact that Birdie was working with Aetós, and that they killed her. It added a layer to his story that just made it believable, that he wasn't involved.
And well, without witnesses? Who could say? ]
If we have any...breakthroughs on availability on our end, I will reach out, of course. Just to let you know.

I'll keep my eye open for it.
[ get it? ]
Well, if they come by looking for Birdie, it's a shame they won't be able to find hide or hair of her.

A pleasure, as always.
