Aymeric sips at his own drink, letting the silence settle between them and just waiting - he's quietly certain that Estinien has picked up on his implication, there's something about the other man's expression that suggests he's mulling it over, and Aymeric is wildly curious to see what he's going to do about it.
When the grin settles across Estinien's lips, Aymeric's own smile becomes smugly pleased, even before he speaks. The words draw a laugh from him, and a rush of unexpected delight. It's hardly a surprise that Estinien is so much more forthright, less prone to dancing around a subject with careful euphemisms the way Aymeric does, but it is quite refreshing. Flattering, too.
"I see." he says softly, taking another sip of his drink as if considering the offer, despite knowing full well he's going to agree to it "Well, if besting you in the training field is what it's going to take, I shall have to make sure I do not lose."
