[His thoughts about meeting Childe have been going through his mind since yesterday. The thoughts aren't about if Childe is up to something here; Aether does believe him when it comes to that as of now. Things could change, but that easily could be said for himself, too. Zhongli said he's keeping an eye on Childe, but it's not that.
His first betrayal of friendship in Teyvat stems from Childe. That wound is not so easily addressed by assurance of not harming others or not partaking in anything related to the Fatui. Time has passed in Teyvat and here, but there still is a hesitance there. Then why spend time with him? Aether wants to see it for himself maybe. In a different world and a different place, things could be different. There's even that small bit of knowing they do fight and work alongside each other well.
Aether shows up just a few minutes before, carrying the supplies he discussed with Childe earlier. His arms carry the simple metal fishing poles that are almost as tall as him. He's also wearing a backpack filled with supplies they'll need for fishing and any sort of camping related thing he can think of. He's even brought some vials for research collection purposes just in case they do stumble upon anything Alebdo might find interesting.
When he sees Childe sitting on rock off in the distance, he doesn't approach him right away. He stops in his tracks, simply looking at him briefly. A pair of friends fishing... that would be a normal thing, a nice thing. After that brief thought, he finally approaches Childe and announces his presence.]
I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. [He should be on time. He does try with being on time and usually it's Paimon that slows him down when it comes to that. He walks towards the rock, standing next to it.] I got everything like I said.
[He offers one of the fishing poles to Childe. The one being offered has a color scheme that is reminiscent of his bow.] This ones yours. I strung the fishing line already for you.
