estinien has aymeric and he is v. happy

at first he was very anxious about the whole thing because of trauma but now that he's canon updated to endwalker he's much more comfortable in his own skin and has really started to let go of this idea that everything nice in his life is going to die.

he has some other good emotional/physical connections with other folks but he would never consider himself "with" them, necessarily??

it's like friends with benefits but the benefit is mostly friendship. LMAO

ysayle is also here which he's trying to navigate without being a fucking weirdo and is like 50% success.

he's like how do i communicate this massive positive impact you have had on my life without sounding like a creepy stalker and he still hasn't figured out how to say that so he's just like i'll just move you into my house

v. normal

Estinien why u gotta be like this

he's doing his best ok

Cannot tell the girl: I like you

Can tell the girl: move into my house

he is like 99% sure that's how most marriages work in ishgard ok

So he's wanting to MARRY the girl I see I seeeeee

are we going to have to plan another wedding?

nO

he's just happy she talks to him ok lmao

the bar is so low

it's very very low

Estinien just randomly leaves gifts at her doorstep like a stray cat

this is how you show affection, right?

gwfwhud

seems legit

look he's actually doing very well it's a good thing he hasn't said anything to that effect because from ysayle's perspective it was only like a month or so ago where she was convinced he was probably there to assassinate her

LMFAOOOO YEAH HE'S LIKE

i definitely was not my best self.............. back then........... so..................

he's just going to Exist until she wants to be his friend ok

we should chat sometime and figure all that happened on ye ol road trip beyond what we were shown

YEAH

we should

he can also tell her more about why he did what he did once u finish final steps

speaking of which!! should confirm a time in thr group

Estinien is learning and getting the best love and I love that for him

This is what Estinien deserves :3

full of love!!!!

he feels particularly out-ted that everyone knows he's soft now lmao

a marshmallow

if it is any comfort bruh, Ezar is deeply unobservant and knows no such thing lmao

ezar gets the lil bro treatment it's a whole different vibe

Ezar never had a brother and honestly he is living

like oh no is this what honest and lowkey affection from other men feels like let me just roll myself up in it like a burrito

Catte loves him anyway and always has but her love is more she wants to see him as happy as he can be in whatever form that takes.

She is so proud of aibou for coming this far
