Well, of course, the channels of communication are very much open. [ Now, anyway. That thought brings a small smile to his face, because he remembers how closed off Ishgard once was, and now that that is no longer the case, he cannot help but feel elation, and a large amount of it as well. ] How strange, I would have thought you would call it something quite different, Estinien.
[ He is more inclined to ponder and dwell on things than his friend is. Of the two of them, Estinien is more likely to act directly and decisively, while Aymeric is inclined to take longer and think things over before taking action. ]
Indeed, any interactions you have with them will be on your terms, as you have always been. [ Aside from those harrowing times when Estininen was not in control of himself, but Aymeric is reluctant to think upon those times any more than he already has. ] And of course, you are correct in saying that.
[ He could not be happier, but no small amount of their shared happiness was tempered by the fact that a new threat had risen up just as they entered into their arrangement, not to mention the new position to which he had been raised. Of course, neither of them were inclined to shirk from their respective duties, but he is certain that having to put a pause on their wedding was, and still remains, hard for both of them.
Still, he does his best to soldier on and not allow his thoughts to wander too far, lest he become morose and unfocused on his duties. ]
Well, it certainly is not easy, but what is there to be done about it? However much I would like to have reports concerning her whereabouts and position, I would not risk jeopardizing the mission and her safety and the safety of the Scions.
[ He does not have all the details concerning what it is they are doing, but that only makes sense. This does not fall under the jurisdiction of Ishgard, and so he is not entitled to information about their movements or their goals.
Tilting his head to one side, he gives his friend a questioning glance. ]
I can see no reason why your own goals would lead you to the Far East. [ He would not ask him to do that, because doing so feels like the height of selfishness to him. ]
