"No questions this time." Aymeric echoes in confirmation, his thinking much the same as Estinien's. It's almost a disappointment, to him; the fights were a delight in themselves, there was no doubting that, but he'd come to quite enjoy Estinien's questions, it was always interesting to see what he wanted to know and he liked being able to share more of himself.
Any disappointment is brushed away as Estinien steps close, however. Any thought is brushed away. Aymeric has long known that the rumours surrounding his birth required him to have nothing less than perfect composure lest he lose his cool at the wrong moment, but he had never prepared himself for how rattled he would be by this. It's not just that Estinien is devastatingly attractive, or that the tension between them could scarce be cut with a knife, or that the hungry look in Estinien's eyes made his stomach flip. It's the attractiveness and the tension and the look and it takes every ilm of Aymeric's willpower not to crack.
"Well then," he says, smooth but heated "I will have to give you everything I've got."
