[It would be the opposite of Estinien's intent to make Alphinaud more anxious with this conversation, but, in his weakened state, he finds himself incapable of fully withholding the seething anger and sense of violation that lurks beneath his projected thoughts. It's the type of fury he'd hoped to have left behind him, but it seems that it was not to be.]

...I am weakened, but not incurably so.

[He quiets his background thoughts as best he can, lest he find himself fleeing from the conversation.]

My concern lies with the alterations it's made... and how its presence somehow lingered within my spirit even after my 'death'.

[Fortunately, that information isn't a surprise to him. Even so, it sends another jolt of helpless frustration through his chest. Whatever this is, the ones he loves most have been pulled into it as well. All because Makoto decided to go for a cowardly kill.]

I saw that Himeka and Abel were touched by it as well. She... showed me what was said, after my senses had failed me. How it now believes you sworn to it, somehow.

[It doesn't sound like something he's willing to give into.]

[There's a stormy silence from Estinien's mental presence, crackling with tumultuous energies that would normally only be apparent in the form of a furrowed brow or a particularly long silence. This means of conversation is useful for all too telling, especially for a man that usually keeps his emotions to himself.]

And how will you right the wrongs of that day? This is what you promised, was it not?

[He's frustrated because he doesn't even know what this creature will expect for a promise like that. He's not sure that Alphinaud knows either.]

[It's as he thought, then. Of course, having Alphinaud admit it takes a lot of the wind out of Estinien's sails. He's not surprised that Alphinaud would say whatever he felt he needed to say in that moment. He's not sure he would have expected it all to be taken so literally either.

His tone is a bit softer when he responds again.]


...That creature is mad. Mayhap it would be more foolish to think that anything will satisfy it at all, no matter how cleverly phrased.

[There's a slow release of some tension, like the mental equivalent of a sigh.]

...Mayhap so.

[Not that he's overly comfortable with the intentions behind it, either. It places him at the center of multiple people's focus, when he would really rather just handle this himself. What could Alphinaud, or Abel for that matter, do?]

If not, I would sooner throw off whatever shackles it has placed upon us.

Tehri, the leader of Greentruth, is the most experienced Aion we have access to. If she's ever seen similar... I know not.

I've spoken to her a handful of times. If she isn't preoccupied with other matters she seems willing to answer whatever questions we may have. With a being of this power... 'twould be odd for her to know nothing of it. A clue in of itself.

[There is a pause, where all that can be felt is a sense of Estinien's silent agreement. After a moment, he adds:]

Aye. Fare you well, Alphinaud.
