[The silence does not lead Estinien to quite the introspection that Francel has undergone. In fact, he nearly assumes the other has hung up, and as thus he leaves the tablet to its own, as he resumes fiddling with the metal and wood to brainstorm how to fix it into a proper spear—even if he cannot fasten it yet.
That isn't to say he doesn't have thoughts floating around, he does indeed, and he finds himself wondering about what the hell Francel was even trying to get at. Not being one to ponder interpersonal relationships so deeply, however, he feels the distress is clearly born of him being a man with too much time on his hands, too little responsibility, and lacking a good hard slap from reality.
Perhaps this place will harden the lad.
But then, after the long pause, his tablet speaks to him again, and his attention is on it fully. The message is as melodramatic as Estinien has come to expect, but then the silence thereafter implies the lord has withdrawn, and honestly Estinien couldn't be more relieved.
Of course, that isn't to say that parting message didn't leave Estinien with some thoughts to consider, and curiosity of what he may mean, but not enough for him to attempt to seek answers.]
