There is a moment when Estinien curses at him that he thinks he's pushed too far, that he should have taken the opportunity that was presented to him and now he's forever ruined his chances. Except the other man isn't turning away, hasn't stomped off to go and find his entertainment elsewhere, he's still standing right there - even in the mud and miserable, drizzling rain, he's still standing there.
When he does move, it's to go back to where he was before, ready to fight, and Aymeric's smile only widens. He draws his sword and inclines his head in understanding.
"I know you wouldn't do that and I wouldn't respect you if you did." He returns easily, trying to focus on that and not the thrill that ran through him at the words earn what's yours. What is yours. As though that part is already a done deal and he just needs to prove himself worthy of taking it.
Well, he's certainly going to try, and if not today then soon. He's not giving up.
