Okay so imagine Cyril finally getting the nerve to call Lysithea an Almyran pet name and her replying with “No, that’s weird! That’s Claude’s nickname for the professor!” (thinking that it’s platonic) Cyril pauses and then explains that it’s the Almyran equivalent of “sweetheart.” There’s another pause as everything else clicks. (Cyril definitely finds another name to call her because she just looks SO pretty when she blushes like that.)
Oh this definitely happens
Cyril: im sorry, Claude calls the professor what now?
Lysithea: exactly what you just said but I can't pronounce it
Cyril: *deep breath* okay everything makes sense now
Lysithea: why, what does it mean?
Cyril: it's uh...a term of endearment...
Lysithea: yes, I got that but--
Cyril: between people in a relationship...
Lysithea: oh...
Cyril: yeah...
Lysithea: you're right this explains a lot of things
Cyril: right?!
