Aye, that it can be. But so too can men be broken!
[ He does not flinch at the cry, nor does he budge the moment Aymeric falls. Estinien then angles the end of his lance into the ground, baring the ability for the man to move forward.
His eyes remain on Aymeric, even as he desperately reaches out to him. He does not move or speak to the attempts to change his position. Instead, he seeks to keep Aymeric where he is. Estinien meets the gaze of his old friend before shaking head once.
Once Aymeric begins to fall, he is quick to catch him with one arm. He hears the cry from behind him belonging to none other than one of the Warriors of Light. Estinien frowns and closes his eyes. ]
Nay, brother. Not this day... nor any other day. [ Estinien then turns to the group behind him. He sees both Warriors and, surprisingly, the young lordling himself. ] The key to the cell is on the floor in front of you. Unlock the cell once you have obtained a pair of irons. Now, quickly!
[ Alkaid remains in place despite the barking of orders from Estinien. She feels almost rooted in place with her ears tucked to her head and eyes wide. Her hands raise grab at one another as she stares. Her gaze simply moves between Aymeric and Estinien, back and forth, until all the pieces align in her mind.
Estinien sees to it that Aymeric is restrained by chains to the stone wall. He stands and removes himself from the cell, keeping the door open enough for one of the smaller ones to enter. ]
It would seem all of you need to be updated on current events. Go to him, Alkaid. I will see to it that Alphinaud and K'thisru are fully informed. Then, I will speak to you once you are ready. [ His gaze moves to the other two and he slides the key into his glove. He wordlessly leaves to the hallway attached by the door, expecting the other two to follow.
Alkaid slips into the cell and closes the door behind her. ]
