“Why wouldn’t he want someone like you?” Toren asked, shaking his head in bewilderment. “You’re both theater people. And you’ve both had a good deal of success early in your careers. What were the reviews for your last show, Estinien? What did that one critic call you?” Toren reminded him.
“‘Meticulously competent, with a fiercely ascetic, understated style,’” Estinien answered with a wry grin. “But Aymeric has scores of good reviews to his name, as well as a BAFTA… two of them I believe.”
“And you won an “Eye” for Moen’s revival of Angels in America, and were nominated for a Tony too, some of the highest honors in Lighting Design, Estinien,” Toren pressed. “You’re no slouch.”
“I’m a techie, Toren, and Sir Aymeric is… well…” Estinien sighed and his expression grew wistful. “He’s theater royalty.”
“No,” Toren said, sighing again himself, “that’s what Haurchefant is, part of a regular acting dynasty. The Fortemps family is RSC royalty, the highest of the high in acting. And I’m also just a techie, and not even a designer like you.”
