He still has his reservations, but honestly, being reclaimed by Nadine and her people seems better than what Eponine is doing with herself currently. Nadine herself seems purely genuine... and really, Eponine is perfectly in place being surrounded by strange people. If only they can get along well enough to keep her there.
Thinking of those 'worse alternatives', Estinien hesitates. For a moment it looks like he might excuse himself and carry on with his day, but he lingers, before finally speaking up again.
"...Another thing."
He turns back to Nadine, furrowing his brow. Where before there was mostly caution in his assessment of the situation, now there is a not of less contained worry.
"In our conversation, Eponine also revealed that she'd found herself a man... another of us from the summoning. His name is Nero." Estinien shifts uncomfortably. "He's here, in Solvunn, and I've had the displeasure of meeting him more than once. The man truly cares for naught, but will do whatever he pleases to sate his urges. Eponine is well aware that he is deranged, but thinks that being with him... intimately... is better than no one at all. Despite openly admittedly that he has hurt her."
"The one mercy is that they can only interact in the Horizon, for now, but I fear little can be done to dissuade her from pursuing it further. I only thought that you should be aware... the man is a scoundrel, and he will do her no good."
