[Aether honestly would like for this entire visit to be over already, but when the time comes, he and Elise will have to marry and he dreads the chaos that Childe will bring on the wedding day. However, there's a part of him that finds it incredible that his knight would go to such ridiculous lengths to... do what exactly? Is it all just to get his way? Or does he really not want Aether to marry someone he doesn't even love?
The young prince doesn't get to ponder too much about it as the princess quickly grabs him by the arm, her eyes bright like the child's.]
I simple have to see it. Please, lead the way!
[Aether is silent for another second, before smiling and nodding.]
Let's go.
[He nods to Childe to follow and the three of them make their way towards the gardens. The flowers around them seem almost otherworldly. The royal gardener is taking excellent care of every plant in this vast area and it shows. The air is fresh and soothing, making Aether think that he really needed this. The silence is welcomed, too.
The princess quickly lets go of his arm to wander around the many bushes of roses, admiring the beautiful bloom. This gives Aether a moment to step closer to Childe and whisper.]
