Estinien doesn't know and isn't eager to find out whether it applies to the 'front' as well, but he certainly isn't eager to bring that up around Nero. Instead, he glares, but tentatively allows him to offer her his 'gift'. It isn't really his job to tell her what she can and can't take from strangers.

Nero says he's on their side, and technically, he hasn't done anything to indicate that isn't true. He is definitely committing the crime of being an annoying bastard, though.

Estinien glances down at Relena instead, catching that apology. It's hardly as if any of it were her fault, and so the fact that she seems willing to accept blame for it almost irritates him. He furrows his brow.

"The only ones causing trouble are these damn royals," he murmurs, but otherwise allows Relena to field the discussion.
