Smirk still fixed on his features, Estinien responds with a soft hmph, near to a laugh.
Aymeric is right. They will wonder. And he ponders, briefly, whether he should suggest they take a less direct route to his home. Not for his own embarrassment--not at all; let them talk, in his estimation. But, rather, to protect Aymeric from the stories upon stories that will surely be writ in whispers the second they are spotted together outside the Borel estate.
But, Aymeric his far cleverer than he is, and if he wished it, he'd suggest it. Clearly, the man doesn't need Estinien's protection. How ridiculous. How soft.
Estinien turns away at this thought, gathers up his lost lance and the few things he's brought, and returns to Aymeric's side.
"You want me, then have me. Lead the way, Ser Aymeric."
