[Aether heaves the boar onto his shoulder, then up on his own horse, tying the prey carefully so it wouldn't fall off. Once that's done, he turns to the other and gives him a tired smile.]
It was, but I'm not sure I want to repeat it. On the other hand, you seem like you had a lot of fun.
[Grinning, Aether leads his horse on the way back. Hopefully, once they return to the castle they can take a nice warm bath and finally relax.
It doesn't take them long to meet up with the king and others. Elise spots them right away and waves enthusiastically, before putting her hands over her mouth when she gets a better look at them both. She's quick to rush to their side.]
Oh goodness, prince, Sir Childe! What happened to you? Are you hurt?
[Aether gives her a small, apologetic smile. Both him and his knight are soaked, their clothes stained with blood and mud. It's definitely a worrying sight.]
We're both okay, I promise. [He points to their catch.] And we brought back something for the dinner--
Childe. [The king's voice suddenly interrupts and Aether's father approaches the two of them. He gives the knight a stern look, before looking at the prey they brought back.]
A big fish... and a boar... [He glances from Childe to Aether, the prince stunned as nervousness overtakes him, then suddenly... the king laughs. Aether's eyes grow big and confused.] I can't wait to hear what kind of hellish creatures these two were that they gave you so much trouble.
[Aether looks away, embarrassed, but the king seems to find the situation humorous and thus he remains in good mood. He pats his son on the head as if teasing a small child. That brings back some memories. Aether manages to smile and Elise too looks relieved.]
Look at what I caught! [She says, then gestures ahead. On the ground there are three rabbits, two quail and a doe. The winner is obvious in this situation.]
