[ Aether is long gone by this time, but this morning Zhongli will find a large decorated box at the foot of his dorm room door. Instead, there are two more boxes, one large one containing an elaborate tea set. the other box is smaller and narrow. Opening it presents a replica of the back...butt? tail chain ... Belt ...thing Zhongli wore with his suit in Liyue. A note is folded neatly in this box, as well. ]
note:
Following you around here made me notice that you were missing this from your attire. It's something that I have come to associate with you in Teyvat, just like Childe with his gloves. I hope it can serve as a nice desk piece or other decorative ornament if it falls outside of your Unit uniform requirements.
This tea set will serve you well, I hope, also, even if only ending up as a decoration. It's the best I could manage to represent Liyue when tring to imagine something like that.
I will be back, it's a promise! Thanks for always being there for me. It's time I make sure to do the same for you.

[ Aether got professional assistance in making the tea pot itself (pretend it looks way more like Zhongli's dragon form aha), but made the rest on his own, so there are imperfections here and there, but ultimately it's pretty impressive and made with a lot of love for Zhongli. In addition, the first two cups are etched with all the important people's names in decorative style in Liyuean writing from Liyue between them both, the third cup has Childe's, Venti's, and Xiao's name on cup along with a hydro symbol and an anemo symbol, and the last cup has Lumine's, Aether's , and Paimon's with the Geo symbol.
Also the lid of the tea pot is etched with representations of the adepti as well as a single glaze lily. ]
Just murder him in his own home, why don't you? But since the guest stars are long gone, there is no way to properly thank Aether as he takes the gifts back inside to store carefully in his room.
And it would be to unbearably selfish to wish Aether back in a place like this after he has potentially won his freedom.
Still, there is his sister to watch over. Perhaps that can be payment enough.
