I would suggest taking him horse back riding first. Secondly, conjure up a scenario in dreams. Create together. And third would be to actually just tell him to fluster him.
Who do you think I've been courting? The last person I actually tried to seduce was you, and I just ended up asking you to mentor me. [Technically they did try and seduce Five but they're were joking so it doesn't count.]
Anyway, we just started talking more, I don't want to make things weird.
They knew me before I fell under your good influence.

I haven't had the ability to truly study how aether manipulation works across stars. In theory it should be possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if I gazed upon other stars upon leaving this place and would not see a wink of aether, instead they were forged and breed upon a different mystical source.
So given that it is accessible, I have no doubts you would be able to master it.

That would be my fourth option.

I basically had to put them in a room together and demand they make out. How surprised I was that they had no disagreements.
[He is amused by that.]
I was thinking Amaranth. That one must be like the raging tide to wrangle.
And I will not meddle. Do go at your pace.

[Cardinal strokes his forearm just because that's what's near, and they look up at him, smiling.]
I'm flattered you approve, anyway.
no subject
[He does kiss their forehead.]
Though I am amused it does keep surprising you. I am all but required to dote on my unit after a bad game, but the rest of you? I do pick and choose.
no subject
I just don't take it for granted.
no subject
Though it is probably time to get out of the water.

Perhaps you are growing as well.
no subject
Hm. I feel very different. Do you?
no subject
More than I would like to admit. But remember I haven't changed much in eons. Well, at least not for the better.
no subject
You don't find it invigorating?

[He lays them down and joins them for cuddling.]

Speaking of... Would you teach me magic?
no subject
I would be happy to try.
no subject
You think I can't learn?

That's fine, the principles might still be useful.

[He lightly brushes their hair as they sprawl against him.]
I imagine if I left you to your own devices too long, you'd be like the others. Always working.
