He lets his head fall into his free hand, closing his eyes as he reimagines the look on her face again. Really, how did it end up working out so well. He swears he heard her squeal one last time too, making him grin from ear to ear.]

[But, since Elise has given them some privacy, he tugs Aether into him, letting his arm wrap around the prince's middle.]

But now, it seems he's getting what he wants.]
