[It takes all the willpower he has to not shiver or make a sound when he feels that hand. The heat still hits his face bad and Aether grabs his knight's hand, giving it a firm squeeze, trying to keep it away from his leg. Embarrassed, he shoots a warning to Childe, but he's sure the other will think nothing of it.
Elise blushes bright when she realizes the two of them have their hands under the table and she covers her cheeks with both hands.]
Childe... [Aether hisses, before turning to Elise. He never gets to say anything else as the king clears his throat calling for their attention.]
Is Childe teasing the two of you? [He sigh, giving the knight a disapproving look, but there's something more to it.] My son, come here, sit next to me. Princess, I would be honoured if you could also take a seat closer. [He points the chair right on his left side and then another next to it.
Aether and Elise glance at each other, then give Childe and Luke an apologetic look, before relocating. The king smiles, pleased with this new arrangement.]
Perfect. Now, I believe this diner will be an excellent occasion to make some more plans. Like the date of knighting Luke... and the marriage date. Yes... I think there's no need to wait with the marriage.
[Aether straightens in his seat. It's... so much sooner than he expected.]
