[ She is painfully right. Aymeric was more than happy to know of his friend, to know that regardless of any differences that Estinien was still himself. Pain had not stopped him. Tragedy did not slow him down. Truly seeing him gave him hope for when he too would return to Ishgard. Hope that his friend would pull through all obstacles and struggles. In the end he could make himself content with that much. ]

Estinien shall be fine, of that I'm certain. [ Not that it doesn't hurt to be left behind but when ones best friend is the Azure Dragoon, hunting dragons through the lands it's hardly the first time he's been left behind. ]

A much appreciated offer. [ He chuckles as siren plops his head down into his lap. Ah of course, how could he forget to give him headpats? ] I am here to assist so long as you have need of me.

[ Or forever, you know. Whichever. ]
