[As Childe swims for another attempt to catch the fish, Aether makes his way to the shore. He tries to get as much water out of his clothes and hair as possible, but everything sticks to his skin, weighting on him. At some point, the prince shrugs and starts watching for his knight instead. This is when he notices the way Childe rounds to capture the fish, then seems to be... wresting it. That definitely went in a completely different direction than the prince thought.
Aether, steps closer to the water again, his eyes widening when he spots the red spilling on the surface. But then he realizes that his knight emerges victorious.
Maybe it's a silly victory, but still, Aether gives a big, proud grin. He then rounds the pond, to get closer to where Childe is in order to help him get the prey out of the water.]
You really did it, my dear knight!
[He laughs softly, reaching out to take the fish and give it a closer look. But as he does that, suddenly something else appears from the woods. It looks like... a boar with an arrow sticking from its back. The tired animal reaches the pond, suspecting nothing and after a moment of silence Aether pulls out his sword and finishes what Childe has started.
Now they have both something to show for the king. Maybe the contest is not lost at all.]
