[The princess' eyes grow big, but she nods and accepts Luke's help. As they approach Aether, the prince gives her an apologetic look, embarrassment still visible on his face.]

I-I see... We're being challenged so soon, but it's okay. We'll make it through.

[She tries to sound optimistic and she first grabs Luke's hand to encourage him, before she's shyly reaching for Aether's and doing the same for him. Then she realizes she doesn't have a third hand to also give Childe's a squeeze and that is enough to make Aether smile.]

Right, it'll be just fine.

[Once they're all prepared to return to the king and Elise's father, Aether turns to Childe.]

...If they ask why Elise is riding with Luke, what should we say? That it's just for horse riding lessons?
