Gwyneire cannot help but marvel - this is certainly the longest conversation he has ever had with the Lord Commander. It's... oddly nice, even if the elezen feels off-kilter for being unable to quite read the situation. Gwyneire has never doubted Aymeric is a man for the people, but having personal confirmation is reassuring.
(And, perhaps privately to himself, Gwyneire must admit he likes the cadence of Aymeric's voice, and the warmth to it.)
"Neither, actually," he answers, and his smile might easily be mistaken for something flirtatious. "I'm staying here, tonight. —Though tomorrow, yes, I will be on my way back to the Diadem. I just like the atmosphere, here, so I go out of my way, sometimes." A momentary pause, and then, "and what about yourself?"
The smile might be mistaken for something flirtatious, but Aymeric only really sees the warmth in it and he smiles back, encouraged by the other man's friendliness.
"I was simply travelling," he admits "exploring, if you will, it's been a time since I was able to see more of this land and I wished to take it all in."
It's a vague excuse but he thought it would be better to avoid specifics and risk giving himself away.
"I had thought to stay here tonight as well, I should see about a room."
