"Ahem, can you two stop fighting for now? Don't we need to discuss a plan regarding that girl and the witches?" Estel reminded them.

Estel, as the Elven Sword Saint, had the confidence to stand up to him, even though he was one rank lower. Aeolus, although annoyed, eventually returned to his seat with a displeased expression.
