[Childe nods to the guests as Aether turns to leave them to accompany him instead, feeling relaxed. It's been quite a bit of time since the incident in the garden, and nothing's come of it so far. Not that he's heard anyway, he hadn't been summoned to see the king to be scolded before being condemned to the dungeon or had his head cut off or anything. It seems eerily quiet, when he thinks on it.

But now isn't the time to dwell on that. Tonight is for having fun, and he happily accompanies Aether to get some refreshments for now, pouring a cup of cider for the prince and handing it to him before getting one for himself.]

Ah, it's lovely, isn't it? I'm looking forward to the castle being like this more often.

[They have Elise to thank for it, and she's going to be around forever now.]

I must say, you're looking rather dashing tonight, prince.
