(He would. He doesn't realize it yet, but when the time comes to actually spend time with another person by choice, he's going to feel the anxiety about it. But for now...)]

Alright. Then I'll make sure to write that name down as my student for the cooking class.
[He chuckles softly.]
But really, don't feel pressured at all.

Don't worry, if I ever do feel pressured, I'll be sure to let you know.

yes, let's end here and I'll throw Aether at him soon again!
Either way, let me know when you'd like your next cooking class.
[If Elan doesn't do that Aether will remind him next time they meet!]
