[ If Aymeric had even the slightest inkling that that was what his friend was thinking, he would be quick to change the direction of his thoughts and goals in order to ensure that his friend's days were lightened as well. After all, they are friends, and have been for some time, and what else are friends for if not to help shoulder each other's burdens? It would be wholly selfish of him to only focus on his present happiness, even though said happiness is tempered slightly by the absence of the Warriors of Light.
At times, he wonders if there is more going on beneath his friend's placid expression, but he has decided that it is better for Estinien to decide on his own terms when to talk about certain subjects than if he pushed him to open up about things that might be troubling him. ]
I suppose they are not the same, but both involve no small measure of responsibility. [ At least, that is Aymeric's observation based on the brief exchange between Estinien and their moogle visitor. Truthfully, he still has a lot to learn about the doings of moogles and their history, and if he had ample time to devote to the subject, he would certainly endeavor to educate himself. ]
If it is easier for you, simply Aymeric will suffice. [ There is a time and place for the use of titles, but he sees no reason for that in this present moment. ] I certainly hope that I do not garner any further titles, or I will have to use even more ink than I already do when penning missives and signing documents.
[ The notion makes him smile and give an amused sort of laugh. ] More letters, you say?
[ He takes the offered letter, giving the envelope a careful looking over, and it is not until he sees the lil seal that he realizes just who has sent this to him. ]
I certainly hope that I shall receive more of these letters. [ But at the same time, he will not be waiting up for them, given the responsibilities of the one who sent said letter. Hoping for them, yes. Expecting their regular arrival? Not quite.
A thought occurs to him then, and he asks: ]
I imagine you must have quite the journey ahead of you, so with that in mind, do you require anything before you leave?
no subject
