Aymeric considers arguing the point, declaring himself the victor, but he knows enough about Estinien's speed and strength to know full well that, were this a real fight, any move on his part to strike a killing blow would end with that lance through his chest instead of just pressed against it.
Besides, it's hard to want to argue when there's that look of pride on Estinien's face - from anyone else it might be patronising, from Estinien it makes him feel warm despite the rain soaking into him.
"A draw." He agrees, stepping back and sheathing his sword before offering a hand to Estinien to help him up.
"Thank you. Soon enough I'll be improved enough to best you, I'd like to not keep either of us waiting much longer."
