Of course he would try to downplay his involvement—the Warrior of Light was much more humbler than his title.

"I'm certain the Mol tribe would say otherwise about your role."

The Nadaam. During his brief visit to the Steppe he had heard of such festivities, and how the winner of the last one wasn't even from the Steppe.

"I offer you congratulations. I've heard hearsay of your feats."

"A scalekin pet?"

He huffed in amusement. Such a thought would most likely have been considered heretic in Ishgard before the end of the Dragonsong War.

"The Steppe, you say? Fearsome warriors, those xaela. Do you have a friend amongst them?"

— He is quite sentimental, sometimes his thoughts wandering towards Ysayle and Haurchefant, wondering how they would have fared in Ishgard post-Dragonsong War

— Estinien is not "bad" with money; he chooses to allow himself getting scammed in Thavnair to support the local economy that suffered

— Squid isn't the only food he's obsessed with. In fact, if he finds interest in a new food item, he will obsessively munch on it for a period of time

— Despite what he seems, Estinien is very good at being there for emotional support. If he doesn't know what to say, he'll be there just to listen

— Over time, his features will become more and more draconic, making his fate to become a thrall inevitable, despite Nidhogg no longer being alive (Based on the Endwalker short story around him)

— Doesn't have the highest alcohol tolerance. He'll have a couple mugs of beer at best before crashing

— Estinien has reptilian eyes and sharp teeth, the result of Nidhogg's aether affecting his body

— He is marred with scars where Nidhogg's eyes were fused to him as well as black scales peppering throughout his skin.

"You seem to know about scale care."

He quickly glanced up and down on the other elezen. Doesn't seem to be part au ra, at least.

"How do you know this?"

[He's picking at his scales, a thin layer of shedding peeling off each one.]

//I'll make an askbox for Estinien eventually

//Fuck. I forgot I liked EstiYsayle. Need to update my rules again

Perhaps Tataru can provide you a new set of clean clothes...

By the Fury... You look like you've been through hell and back.

I'm hearing things about a fighting ring called "Arcadion"?

I wonder how Orn Khai is doing...

Why are everyone's attention at one's performance in bed?

I suppose we shall never know.

Do you reckon the combination would taste good, though?

Is turf not referring to animal meat, such as bull or karakuls? I was under the impression that that was the case.

... I know not which it is.

Perhaps, but that implies that nopalitender is considered "meat", not a "plant".

... Squid with nopalitender... I wonder how that combo would be...

I would rather be caught dead than lick from a communal salt rock.
