The sun was setting over the vast landscapes of Teyvat, casting long shadows and painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Aether sat by the campfire, his attention glued to his phone. His fingers moved swiftly over the screen, and his expression alternated between intense focus and occasional excitement.

Paimon hovered nearby, munching on a skewer of grilled fish. She tilted her head curiously, noticing Aether's unusual preoccupation. It wasn't often that the Traveler was this absorbed in something that wasn't related to saving Teyvat or searching for his sister.

Paimon floated closer, trying to peek at Aether's phone screen. "Hey, Aether! What are you doing? Paimon's curious!"

Aether glanced up, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "Oh, uh, just playing a game."

Paimon's eyes widened. "A game? You mean like one of those mobile app games? Where did you even get the idea to play that?"

Aether chuckled softly. "I found out about it from some adventurers in Mondstadt. They were talking about it, and I got curious. It's called Fate/Grand Order."

Paimon blinked, trying to process this new information. "Fate/Grand Order? What's it about?"

Aether's eyes lit up with enthusiasm. "It's a game where you summon legendary heroes, called Servants, from different times and myths. You build a team and go on missions to save humanity from various threats."

Paimon floated down to sit beside him, her curiosity piqued. "That sounds kind of like what we do here in Teyvat! But why are you playing it now? Aren't we too busy trying to save Teyvat and find your sister?"

Aether's expression softened. "It's a way to relax and take my mind off things for a bit. Sometimes, it's good to have a little distraction."

Paimon nodded slowly, understanding. "Okay, that makes sense. But Paimon has another question!"

Aether raised an eyebrow, amused. "What's that?"

Paimon leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Who's your favorite Servant? And do you have any crushes? Paimon noticed you have several Servants maxed out at level 120!"

Aether's cheeks turned slightly pink, and he looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, if you must know, my favorite Servant is Artoria Pendragon, also known as Saber. She's a strong and noble knight, and her story is really inspiring."

Paimon giggled, nudging him playfully. "Aether has a crush on Saber! Paimon knew it!"

Aether laughed, shaking his head. "It's not like that! I just admire her a lot. And yes, I've maxed out her level because she's really powerful and has helped me a lot in the game."

Paimon floated up, crossing her arms and grinning. "Sure, sure. Paimon believes you. But Paimon thinks it's cute that you have a favorite. Maybe you should tell Saber how you feel!"

Aether rolled his eyes, still smiling. "Paimon, she's just a character in a game. It's not like I can actually talk to her."

Paimon shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eye. "You never know! Teyvat is full of surprises. Maybe one day you'll meet someone like her."

Aether chuckled, returning his attention to his phone. "Maybe. But for now, let's focus on our own adventures. We have a lot of work to do."

Paimon nodded, her playful expression turning serious. "You're right. But don't forget to take breaks and enjoy yourself, okay? Paimon will always be here to remind you!"

Aether smiled warmly at his floating companion. "Thanks, Paimon. I appreciate it."

The next day...

The sun was high in the sky as Aether and Paimon navigated through the dense woods of Teyvat, on their way to investigate a mysterious disturbance reported by the Adventurers' Guild. Aether's usual focus was noticeably absent, his eyes flickering to his phone screen every few moments.

Paimon, hovering at his side, couldn't help but feel her patience wearing thin. She let out an exasperated sigh. "Aether, we're in the middle of a mission! What could be so important on your phone right now?"

Aether quickly put his phone away, looking a bit guilty. "Sorry, Paimon. It's just... I pulled a new Servant in Fate/Grand Order."

Paimon threw her hands up in frustration. "Not this again! Who is it this time?"

Aether's eyes lit up with excitement. "It's Artoria Caster. She looks exactly like Saber but a bit younger and, well, cuter."

Paimon groaned. "You're telling Paimon you got distracted by another version of your crush? Unbelievable!"

Aether chuckled sheepishly. "She's really strong too. I couldn't resist."

Paimon floated in front of Aether, blocking his path. "Aether, listen to Paimon. We have to stay focused. These quests and missions are important! What if something happens because you're too busy with your game?"

Aether sighed, knowing Paimon was right. "You're right, Paimon. I'll put my phone away for now and focus on the mission."

Paimon nodded, satisfied. "Good! Now let's get back to saving Teyvat. No more distractions!"

Moments later...

Paimon noticed Aether was on his phone once again after she told him no more distractions. "Aether!" You promised no more distractions! And here you are, trying to pull for another Servant behind Paimon's back!"

Aether winced, his guilt evident. "I'm sorry, Paimon. I just couldn't resist. It's Morgan..."

Paimon crossed her arms, her frustration evident. "Morgan or not, you need to control yourself! Paimon thought we agreed you would stay focused!"

Aether sighed, putting his phone away for good this time. "You're right. I got carried away. I'll make it up to you, I promise."

Paimon huffed but softened slightly. "Just make sure you do. We have important things to take care of, and Paimon can't do it alone."

Aether nodded, his resolve firm. "I promise, Paimon. No more distractions. Let's get some rest. Tomorrow, we'll tackle our mission with full focus."

Paimon nodded, satisfied for now. "Alright, but Paimon is watching you! No more sneaky pulls!"

Aether chuckled. "Deal."
