[ For being an older man? Jonathan truly was not much older than Aymeric when he was changed. He too is gifted with eternal age, and yet, it is his lived life that makes him appear as older. He has lived more of a century and seen how Ishgard has changed since the deals made with the voidsent. He and Aymeric are proof of that change. ]

There is no need to apologize. Our schedules are rather... opposite from normal ways. [ Still, he smiles at the welcome and glances once more at the dragoon who would quite obviously prefer to be elsewhere. ] Unfortunately, yes. Social calls will need to wait I am afraid.

[ Estinien takes the moment to raise his head and look at his longest (and only) friend. He has done away with his helmet for now, and dressed in more casual clothing. One might expect a knight to look more professional, yet, Estinien has never cared much for it. ]

We have been called away for the weekend. Training, they call it. [ Estinien gives a huff and roll of his eyes. ] Either because the Garleans are threatening Eorzea, or the Astrologians believe the sighting of a dragon star might be possible. Pick whichever reason you find best suiting and it will be most likely the one they insist upon.

[ Jonathan nods. ] And, as such, I have been asked to make certain any and all peoples like us are capable of performing their duties with... as little resistance as possible. Standard procedure, as always, of course. Especially given Ser Estinien reported you had a rather extensive injury that had been healed by the time you returned to Ishgard.

[ The doctor glances once more at the dragoon as he gives an annoyed huff. ]
