Aether let out a deep, satisfied sigh, leaning back in his chair. His plate was spotless—he'd devoured every morsel without leaving even a hint of a stain. "That was fantastic," he said, nodding appreciatively.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Mr. Aether," Emberlyn replied with a warm smile as she began gathering the plates.

Meanwhile, Thalia, still fanning him dutifully, looked like she was barely holding herself together. Her annoyance was written all over her face, but she forced herself to maintain her composure, though her sharp motions with the fan betrayed her growing irritation.

Aether smiled inwardly, amused by her visible frustration.
