There's a brief sputter and noise as suddenly Gaius has Estinien's thighs for earmuffs. Powerful dragoon thighs, no less. He makes a little bit of noise, before he curls both hands around the offending limbs and tugs.

Only when he can lift his head does he say, "This'll end poorly if you snap my neck in your enthusiasm, dragoon, or I'll have to lower my standards and do a sub-par job just to keep my head on my shoulders."

He shouldn't sound so happy or amused, honestly, but this is the lightest tone he's used in probably as long as Estinien has known him.
