Oh, Estinien... that offer is generous and kind. And I promise that if I can find naught else I will take you up on it.
But for now, I will spare you that burden. I fear I would only drive you up the walls. And we've only just become better friends. I'd hate to ruin that.
We could make one of those pacts if you like. Did you ever do that as a boy? If either of us are ever in need we can count on the other. But, I have the utmost confidence in you that you'll find someone to make a contract with. If not... well, I am here for you, of course.
I understand your concerns. They align with my own.
[ Friends or not, he is very aware of their disparate personalities. And the fact that Haurchefant was only spared being choked by Estinien not knowing his location. ]
Very well. If we've need, we will come to each other's aid.
[That was in fact... not a truthful statement Not intentionally untruthful, of course. Just that Haurchefant will never see himself in a position where burdening his friends is a necessity.]
But you need not worry about me. I will be just fine.

You will admit when you need aid, won't you?
