But it's less the weapon form that reassures Esteban as Romeo adds that he has access to borderlines. While he's not certain, he might have an idea of what the child is speaking of, and if it works as he imagines it does, it's a relief to learn that he can defend himself. Less so that he might taste good though. He'd like to make a joke, but that seems a little too risky at this point.
"But you're witty and sneaky." This, he can assure, having seen him work through a camp of dangerous refugees first hand. With a handful of spells, and enough forethought to use them when useful, he's probably better at this than Esteban himself is. "An' those are really powerful skills too."
"Plus, there's lots of people that would look out for you 'f you need help." He grins at this, willing the young traveler to have faith, at least in this much. "Me included. 'F you're ever in trouble, you c'n call me any time, okay?" It's just a small comfort, probably more for Esteban's sake than Romeo himself, but he wants the child to know that much. If ever he's cornered, if he's stuck, Esteban will come and help him out. He's sure he's not the first one to offer, but he'd rather be the tenth than Romeo not having a name to call when he finds himself lost. He grins again, and squeezes his companion's hand, a reassurance that he means his words.
