[Aether can almost feel the stress emanating from his knight. Whatever was happening, it's been taking a toll on Childe. Worried, the prince starts running his hands up and down the other's back to relieve some of that stress.]

Of course. We can sit for as long as you like.

[He lets Childe lead him towards the bed and he's quick to take a seat beside him, still close, once the other settles. His hands find Childe's as Aether listens to his knight.]

I've been well. Everything... has bee very quiet recently. But I'm guessing the same can't be said for you.

[He doesn't hide concern from his face.]
