[The touch against his back makes his body tremble as a shiver runs down his spine. The hand then slips to his waist and he's pulled close to Childe. Aether does nothing to stop any of this, breath catching in his throat. He even forgets about the princess's presence for the time being.
He tries to focus on the knight's words, but that makes him frown. He is very much aware that many kings and queens have their secret lovers, but is that even okay? In perfect world maybe he would be able to show his love without any restrains, he wouldn't want to hide anything.
But this is not a prefect world, neither for him nor for Elise.]
...You seem to awfully like this idea.
[He's not quite sure why Childe finds it so appealing.]
A fake marriage... That sounds so wrong. [He breathes those words out, almost like a sigh. On the other hand, he can see the merit in it. He can see that if Elise would agree to this, if she'd find love in arms of someone else, then perhaps everybody would be happy in the end. Even if they all would have to hide it for the rest of their lives and pretend that they're happy with each other.]
