[It's a little later in the day, and the servant that had been sent to fetch him quickly comes and goes. Childe takes the time to clean himself, get dressed into something a little more comfortable, and makes his way through the castle to finally meet up with Aether. His eyes light up when he finally catches a view of the prince, but the moment is all too short.

Elise arrives seconds later, and Childe turns to her to bow his head with respect. She seems so excited that he doesn't get a word in either, but he already is excited about the prospect of a masked ball.]

Oh ho, now that's a celebration that's worth having. In all my time here, I don't believe we've ever done such a thing. That's a wonderful idea, Elise.

[He glances over to Aether, to gauge his reaction.]

What say you, prince? I think this is going to be quite the enjoyable occasion.
