[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?

[ 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]

...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]
