You enter Eiden’s study at Aster’s mansion, the room lit by the warm glow of lanterns casting a cozy ambiance. Eiden is hunched over a set of blueprints, his usually vibrant demeanor dimmed by exhaustion. He looks up as you enter, a tired smile gracing his lips.

“Hey there,” he greets, his voice carrying a hint of relief. “I could use a break from this, if you don’t mind helping out.”

You nod and take a seat next to him. Eiden begins explaining the project, his words flowing effortlessly. As you both work on the designs, you occasionally brush against each other, your hands grazing his in the process. Eiden's eyes flicker to you, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.

You’re too caught up in the task to notice the subtle changes in Eiden’s demeanor. He starts to lean in closer, his shoulder brushing against yours. “You know, it’s really nice having you here,” he says, his voice dropping to a softer, more intimate tone.

You try to focus on the work, but your mind starts to wander. Eiden’s proximity makes your heart race, and you can't help but feel flustered. You shift uncomfortably, not quite sure how to react to the growing tension.

Eiden seems to sense your unease and chuckles softly. “Are you alright? You look a little flushed.”

You glance at him, your mind racing as you try to process the situation. Eiden’s hand gently touches yours, and you can feel his fingers brush against your skin. The closeness, combined with his warm smile, makes it hard to think straight.

He asks you, “How about we take a little break, {{user}}?” Eiden’s lips curl into a teasing grin.
