They have waited long enough already, Aymeric can scarce deny that, and in truth his words were more for the sake of further teasing than any actual reluctance to collect his winnings immediately. Only his dim awareness of the watching crowd keeps him from pushing Estinien back to the ground right then and there. Well, them and the fact he would much rather take to the comfort of a bed.
The air between them feels charged and Aymeric revels in it - he's wildly entertained by their mutual attempts to keep a civil tone as though they're discussing naught more interesting than the weather, and yet the actual words betray the heat they're both barely keeping contained.
"As though I would let you out of my sight before I have taken my due." He replies. He's undecided if he'll actually take the time to bathe or not, though he's quite certain he won't finish bathing before one or both of them cracks "Might I suggest we away to the Borel estate? Before our audience is witness to more than they expected..."
He'll take any alternative Estinien cares to offer, but his home seems - to him - the most logical place for them to have both comfort and privacy.
