[Childe in turn, sends her the same playful look back- ah, this truly couldn't of worked out better. It makes him laugh inwardly when Aether broke away from him to join her, and he knows from the look in Elise's eyes that the prince was probably blushing to the nines. How this ended up like this, he'll never know. Was it fate? Perhaps. But now he feels as if it's time to take that fate and turn it into the destiny he sees fit.
He's glad that everyone else who's been along for the ride so far seems to be willing to go along with this plan.
The next morning, Childe rouses his squire early, telling him that there's something special going on today, and that he needs him with. The ever loyal squire, Luke gets ready and joins him for the lunch with the princess and prince, much to his surprise. This isn't like Childe to invite him to things like this, but he knows that the knight is always full of surprises, and today is no exception.
Luke is introduced to Elise, the squire having been asked to wear something nice for the occasion, which surprised him even more. His blonde hair had been styled to Childe's liking, even having helped him with it since the squire has hardly had a reason to dress up for anything at all. Luke's green eyes glitter when he sees Elise, breath taken away at how beautiful he found her, and nervously chats her up during lunch.
Meanwhile, Childe sits next to Aether, smiling the day away, shooting winks and looks to Aether whenever he gets the chance. Perfect.
But lunch ends, and with it comes another activity. The king and Elise's father stride up to them at the end of their meal. Elise's father gently checks up on his daughter, smiling to see her in high spirits.
So, we heard that you were all going to go riding for a while. I've heard that the grounds here are beautiful to ride though. Have a good time, and be safe.
Childe nods, his hand coming up over his chest.]
Of course! Anything we can do to make the princess feel right at home. We thank you for your blessing. We should be back in a few hours or so, if it pleases you.
