If I could-- go back and change things, I would. We both would, huh.

[ He's quiet for a long time after that. He wonders... will the network use this? They have to know what Ignis did for him. They have to. He still has no idea how they pull off their memory bullshit, but...

Wouldn't it make for an interesting fifth season? To bring in the endlessly devoted adviser, strip him of his memories. Confuse and disorient him, because from the first day he'd know he should be able to see. He'd do damn near anything to protect Noctis.

A cold pit of dread settles at the bottom of Noctis's stomach. ]

... He tried to get me to quit, you know. After I woke up, he came and talked to me. He-- He told me he thought we should stop our journey.

[ It comes out only a touch confused. ]

...There are many things I would change given the ability. But dwelling on an impossible concept will only serve to drive one insane.

[But Noctis' next words caused Ardyn to hesitate, frowning in confusion.]

Why would-...that makes no sense.

... Yeah. I know a thing or two about dwelling on stuff you shouldn't.

[ He lets out a frustrated sigh. It's more like a huff. ]

He... said it was because we'd already lost too much. But he-- he should've known I wouldn't buy that.

Obviously not. So then, why--

[Whatever it takes, I will protect him--]

[...It didn't take a genius to see those words were no exaggeration. But then--would a person like that allow anything, immortal or Lucii or Astrals, to jeopardize that? No, of course not, but...but did he know? Was that even possible, for anyone else to comprehend the true sacrifice the prophecy demanded?]

[ He's honestly still trying to wrap his head around it. It's... it's impossible that Ignis would know about Noctis's fate. Impossible. Noctis chalks it up to Ignis being that worried about Noctis, about his state of... well, everything, after losing Luna and nearly dying.

He's so deep in thought that he doesn't notice Ardyn's gone quiet. When he does, he looks at him, frowning. ]

Ardyn?
scourgingstars: (my affection it comes and goes)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2017-12-17 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
...no, it isn't possible. [Ardyn shook his head, gradually pulling himself out of his thoughts.] Surely there isn't a chance anyone else could have known what was meant to happen to you.

[ ... ah. Noctis swallows hard. So they were thinking the same thing. ]

Yeah. It's impossible. He would've said something if he'd seen something.

[ ... but would he have? ]
scourgingstars: (you know i'm a forgiver)

[personal profile] scourgingstars 2017-12-17 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Ardyn admitted he didn't exactly know Noctis' friends more than necessary to prod at their insecurities and manipulate things as he'd seen fit. But...]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it sounds as though there is quite a lot he did not say.
