You could say he was in a good mood, but after getting himself four hundred embers, how could he not be ecstatic? This was amazing. This much money would help them a lot; not only could they get Kade an actual weapon, but it would be enough to last them until they reach the next part, probably.
Hopefully.
His happiness was evident on his face.
Kade was quite creeped out for some reason, almost as if seeing this part of him was weird. But he would get used to it one day.
Well, if good things continued to happen, of course.
"You could smile."
Aether smiled, fell, as he glanced at the boy, dumbfounded.
He had known this was what he was thinking, but he didn't expect him to be so blunt.
"Of course I can? You've seen me do it many times, you idiot!"
He frowned.
Yet the boy didn't seem hurt by the insult; instead, he seemed relieved.
"You're back, I was starting to think you had gone missing and someone else had taken your place."
