( If someone had told her if she would find herself standing side by side with the Azure Dragoon as comrades, as friends, only a short while ago, Ysayle would have thought the notion foolish. Time, however, has only taught her that even she can be made a fool of, that the truth is always somewhat more complex, and that allies can be the most unlikely of souls. )
You need not thank me, Estinien. ( There is still much she has to atone for, much she has to work out how to begin to do that, but at least he has not paid the final price for his folly, same as she. In that they are together.
The mention of Alphinaud does pull a smile out of her, thinking fondly of the young man and his intense attachment to those he cared about. He may be young, but Ysayle knows that there is a great future for him, in time. And knows that Estinien feels likewise. ) Are you not fearful that upon spying both of us he might begin anew?
( There is an honesty between them now that Ysayle does not think she could explain -- to lie to Estinien would serve no point; he has seen her at her worse, seen her take lives in the name of her cause, and yet sought to honor her memory all the same. Strange how fate takes her in places she never thought to be.
He speaks of making amends to the dragons, to honoring Ratatoskr, and there is nothing more she would like to see. To pay her own respects for what she has done in the name of misguided justice, to forge a new path forward. ) I would like nothing more. Vidofnir will carry me to Sohr Khai, and you as well if you have need of it.
( Presumably he has his own means of transportation, but knowing of Estinien's last encounter with the dragon there may be some benefit in seeing that she is both recovered and free of ill-will towards him. After all, it was Nidhogg that struck the blow, not Estinien. )
