So what did Aymeric actually say...
...at the end of 3.2? After Estinogg flew off at the peace conference, he distinctly mouthed something we didn't hear. I always thought there'd be a more significant moment between the two of them on the SoF that might have referred to it, but it ended up having the WoL and Alphinaud as the pivotal characters in those scenes. 3.3 actually ended up far more "happy ending" than I thought it would...
And which parent does "Borel" come from? He seems to be a minor noble of some sort, yet he's supposedly a bastard and not born into aristocracy.
