i’ll be right back ,  keep pressure on that . // estinien 2 aymeric

Aymeric winced as he pressed the compress against his wound, his exhale a hiss from between his teeth. "Do try to hurry." He forced out. He already felt woozy, though from blood loss or the pain he couldn't say which. All he knew was that it was bad and he would be infinitely worse off if Estinien wasn't there. He was endlessly grateful to his friend, and he would be sure to express said gratitude once he was in a position to do so.

you die ,  i die // estinien 2 aymeric

"Noted. I shall endeavor not to expire this day then." Aymeric spun his sword, staring down the maddened beast they found themselves facing off against. Its tough rubbery skin had proven resistant to their attacks thusfar, but there surely had to be a weakness they could exploit somehow. They just needed to hit it in the right spot or right way. Unfortunately it was also proving quite fast and they were both injured. Hopefully reinforcements were on their way soon.

❝ I don’t bury hatchets. I sharpen them. ❞ // estinien to aymeric

"That you do, my friend." Aymeric agreed with dry amusement. "Still, after the lesson served to you with Nidhogg's eyes, I might have thought you would have learned how to dig hatchet-shaped holes on occasion. The frozen ground of Coerthas not withstanding."

i can't promise i won't come after you. // estinien to aymeric

"I would expect no less from you, Estinien." Came the reply as Aymeric gazed at the guarded building he was expected to enter, alone and unarmed. "But their conditions were clear, and this is supposed to be a diplomatic exchange. Let us at least try to give the illusion of agreeing to their terms, else we may never uncover the true depths of their plans." Of course, this meeting was with those who were loyal to the old ways, so he had little doubt things would go badly. But villains, he had learned, tended to enjoy the sounds of their own voices and if they were confident they had Aymeric right where they wanted him, maybe they would reveal some things first.

"Getting stabbed is nothing." // estinien 2 aymeric

"So you say, my friend. Nevertheless, I must insist you visit the chirurgeons to be checked out." Aymeric was frowning, scowling really as he tried to help Estinien out of his armor, even as he spoke of chirurgeons thinking he should see if he could tend to the wound himself as there would be a higher chance it would be treated that way as opposed to leaving Estinien in the care of professionals who would of course do a better job....if they could get the retired Azure Dragoon to allow them to treat him.

“  what the hell is wrong with you?  ” // estinien to aymeric

Aymeric looked at the paperwork on his desk, then at his sword in the corner next to the elephant costume Estinien had sent him, then at the unopened gifts from his last nameday. Finally he looked back to his friend and arched a brow. "You'll have to be more specific."
