[Yeah, she does look a little uncomfortable. But she doesn't want to just brush him off, either.]
... The last place I was in, we didn't just have one or two deaths each week. People would die suddenly... any day of the week, but also during the trial... while they were out investigating, or even while we were gathered together to talk and examine one another.
No way... even during trial? That's... I can't even imagine.
Guess I took my own study for granted. We had multiple deaths in a week, but... it wasn't anything like that. We had some peace of mind, or as much as we could.
I'm... not sure. I might just have to work through it myself...
I'm thankful for how patient everyone's been with me, though... I feel a little bad, being a bother when everyone's working together to solve a case...
You spent the past few days keeping people from bleeding out left and right, didn't you? I doubt the trial would've gone the same if they weren't in any shape to participate.
...We know you're giving it your all. Don't think it would be fair to ask for more than that, and definitely wouldn't be fair to call you a bother.

[ oh sweet estelle... :( ]
I'm all right. I was wondering, though...
[ he looks sheepish if not sorry to be bringing this up ] —And you don't have to talk about it if you don't wanna.
But I noticed, during certain parts of trial... You seemed pretty anxious. Did something happen to you before?
[ his posture goes a little rigid, like he's expecting to get slapped for asking ]

...Anything I can do to help? Or anyone else?

[Her expression brightens a little. Looks like putting it into that perspective made her feel better.]
... Do you know if Dimitri's going to be all right? He was acting so strange...
no subject
I wish I could say. But whatever it is that's gotten into him... I dunno. Let's hope he recovers from it, yeah?

[She wants to believe that's a sign of improvement, though it's probably just thanks to Harrow.]
Oh, um, speaking of that...
I was wondering, Sylvain... Do you know much about first aid?
no subject
[ he owes estelle a lot—they both do. ]
...Just the basics. Enough to survive on the battlefield, or at least get to someone who knows what they're doing.
no subject
[It's an important combat skill!]
You see, I need to find someone to teach some first aid techniques to...
