[Estinien grows silent and allows Francel to finish with whatever point he's trying to make. He grows more curious as the high-born goes on, particularly since he focuses on his relationship with Aymeric.

The speed in which he talks makes it plain how much he's distressed by whatever it is this mysterious friend has done, and Estinien almost wants to tell his own curiosity to bugger itself and end the conversation here.

He isn't one to give advice on such things, and he feels this is going down that path, but he decides to see just where this rabbit hole is going.]

Aye, you have the right of it. Ser Aymeric's and my friendship is a secret to none, and as such my loyalties lie with him above all else.

That being said, I would endure far more for him than any other, and there is little I would refuse if he asked--however, I suggest you get to the crux of this, ere I tire of this chatter.

[He doesn't care to discuss his personal relationships with others, especially not to a lord he barely knows, but he figures there's a point... somewhere in there that he's aiming for, and he will put up with this till he knows of it, at least.]
