Estinien doesn't feel he's well equipped to help Cid with whatever he faced in those caverns - Fury knows he had his own moments where it seemed like it might be over. He can appreciate the feeling, though. He'd been uncomfortable with the idea of going to the city too, and not just because he doesn't like crowds.

"...Well, I'm sure if anyone could make do in the wilderness, it'd be Cid Garlond," he says, with just a bit of cheek. He barely understands how Cid does any of the things he does, but he can probably use non-magitek tools too, right? "You could start by making me a better lance, if you ever feel inspired... this brittle wood is unlikely to survive proper dragoon technique."

The one he has right now is basically just a length of wood with a knife bound to the end. Not ideal.
