[estinien isn't sure what to expect from aymeric with the hand on his shoulder, quietly stunned when he feels the other's hand over his and giving it a small, reassuring squeeze. sometimes aymeric surprised even him and right now it's taking everything within the dragoon not to just stand there and stare in mute shock. the look in aymeric's eyes is almost despair, enough so that estinien can feel it like a cold dagger twisting in his stomach. what pain was the other suffering to drag such a look from the lord commander? what thoughts were taking root right now that would do nothing but torment from a distance in the quiet of the night?
whatever it was, estinien never wants to see it again, helpless in the knowledge that it isn't something that he can defeat in battle yet wishing bloody vengeance on it anyway.
estinien quickly realizes that he's allowed his own thoughts to wander, that he's been staring at aymeric in silence for a good, solid few moments. the realization is swift enough to have the dragoon straightening back up, looking away with thinning lips as he bites some terse words out with only half of the usual vehemence.]
You should act more like yourself and not what other people expect you to be. Tsk, as long as you think it will pass.
