Aether stood patiently outside the trial room, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and excitement as he waited. It felt like hours had passed, though in reality, it had only been a few minutes.
Finally, he saw Helena peek her head out from behind the door, her expression a mix of shyness and uncertainty.
"A-Aether, t-this is way too revealing!" she stammered, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of red.
Aether raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly, his lips curving into a teasing smile, "Are you sure? I can't even see you properly yet,"
Helena's cheeks burned even brighter at his words, and she fidgeted nervously, "W-Well, maybe it's not that revealing, but still... showing my hands like this in front of you... it just feels so wrong!" Her voice was a mix of embarrassment and playful protest, her fingers anxiously twirling a strand of hair.
