just a lil wip—
"You're staring at me," Estinien said flatly, narrowing those cold eyes at him.
"It's not a fair fight," Aymeric replied with a shrug, unable to help himself. "No one's heard from you in weeks, and now you turn up looking like— how long has it been since you last slept?"
"Should have known you didn't simply want to train," the dragoon muttered accusingly, petulantly sending his lance clattering to the stone floor at Aymeric's feet instead. "You and yours have an irritating habit of thinking you need to corner me like a feral animal every time I wish to keep to myself."
This time, it was Aymeric's turn to glare, mood soured exponentially. Most days, he could weather out his oldest friend's ornery tendencies, choosing to treat them with a quiet understanding, but he was in no mood to be Estinien's punching bag. Not when he'd asked him there in good faith.
"People grow concerned when someone disappears without a word and return looking no better off," he snapped, an icy bite to his voice that forced the other man to avert his gaze. "Not everyone in your life cares only for what you can give them, Estinien — some of us do worry for you because that's what friends do."
He supposed those might have been fighting words, were he talking to anyone but the Azure Dragoon, but regardless, something got through to him. After a prolonged silence he spoke up, still avoiding Aymeric's accusatory stare, and still brusque in tone, as if he wasn't sure how this worked.
"Apologies," was all he said, tossing the canteen back to him.
Something unpleasant nipped at Aymeric's core as he took in Estinien's demeanor, the way he slouched a little too aggressively as he brushed past him to lean against the wall. It showed in the way he held himself rigid as stone, jaw clenched tighter than necessary in order to withstand a reprimand that never came, and how he continued to avoid his stare.
"I know you much better than you give me credit for," Aymeric said plainly, readjusting himself on the crate to face him. "You wouldn't have agreed to see me if you weren't interested in talking — if you didn't want me to pry it out of you just like I always have."
"Forgive me then," Estinien replied with a scoff, turning his eyes to the ground as he heaved a deep sigh. "I suppose you expect thanks as well."
#ffxiv#estinien#aymeric#my fic#i just really like their banter ghfdjkghfjdk#writing estinien and aymeric is so fun i'm upset it took me years to actually start doing it#'cause now i can't get enough.

#ffxiv#estinien#aymeric#estimeric#dogfromfallout#HOLD THE FUCK ON I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS#AND I DOUBT IT WILL BE COHERENT.#estinien is aymeric's oldest friend and vice versa#they've fought at each other's sides#been there with each other through what i can only imagine has been countless losses#and the SECOND — THE SECOND — estinien attacks vidofnir#there is no hesitation from aymeric.#ABSOLUTELY ZERO HESITATION TO GRAB THAT BOW AND AIM IT AT ESTINIEN'S HEAD.#THAT is aymeric's sense of duty above all#omg wait i just made myself sad.#aymeric knows how deadly estinien is on his own and if estinien is possessed by nidhogg and he's gone and truly lost#he knows estinien wouldn't want him to think twice before pulling the trigger.#in fact he'd catch hell if he DID hesitate.#ACTUALLY HE PROBABLY DID END UP CATCHING HELL BECAUSE ESTINIEN STILL LEAVES THIS CUTSCENE UNSCATHED.#ok i'm sorry i'm just in my feelings right now and none of them make sense#*shouts vaguely at this gifset*

I think an underappreciated element of Leia's character is that even after days or weeks of ruthless interrogation interspersed with torture, she still had the presence of mind to identify a feature of the Stormtrooper who barged into her cell that she could mock.
