Aymeric, of course, would argue that somebody as gifted and ambitious as Estinien is surely going to rise through the ranks, if not follow in his mentor's footsteps and become the Azure Dragoon himself, and actually he's an excellent person to form a connection with.
If he was actually thinking about Estinien in such terms, which he isn't. He's actually struggling to think about anything in that moment beyond how beautiful Estinien's smile is and how he wants to see it again and again.
He does snap out of it when the other man speaks, though, the shifting terms of the bet earning a raised eyebrow from him as he considers it.
"Very well." he says after a moment - he's hardly going to say no to something so simple, not when it's something Estinien could find out so easily anyway, and especially not when he's frankly flattered that Estinien would consider information about him something worth wagering.
"If you win, I will answer any three questions you wish."
