[He's sitting there perfectly still, enjoying the way Childe's fingers feel in his hair and the care that he puts into completing the braid.]

Hmm... You know that you have my full trust. [He reminds the other with a smile.] I'll be happy to try that drink that you speak of so highly.

[He turns his head just to flash a grin to his knight, before sitting straight again and waiting for the braid to be finished. The adventure is definitely calling to him and he can't wait for it. If he can't face the problems head on for the time being, he may as well focus on something more pleasant.

Once Childe is done, Aether runs his hand over the braid before turning to his knight again.]

Thank you... Do you need my help with anything?

[There's probably not much at the moment, but it won't hurt to ask!]
