[For a moment, Alphinaud has the mind to properly use his diplomat's tongue to put this man in his place - but it's just as Aymeric is literally standing between the two of them that he realizes it would be a bad idea no matter which way things went. When in Doma, do as the Domans do... or some such saying he'd heard in Kugane, anyway.

Seeing and registering who is standing in front of him, though, makes his eyes widen briefly.]

Ser Aym--

[But it's cut off as the vendor bites out a reply at them - is Aymeric one too, then? A Submissive?

As the taller elezen moves to leave, he's keen to follow. Better to stick with your known allies than go it alone, after all.]

I did, but thus far I have been blessedly fortunate in that I haven't ran across anyone so... unwelcoming.

[He spares a glance back at the vendor, who is now talking to a pair of people, happy as you please. The rest of Aymeric's words register a second later, and he does a double take back at the man, eyes widening once more.]

Estinien? Gods be good, the next thing you'll tell me is that the Warrior of Light is here, as well.
