Tip 006: Also heal their cats too when they get a scrape. Cats deserve healing too.

[daemonized]

[What.... what is this.

It's hilarious and amazing. Even in the early hour. Ardyn is nothing short of completely and utterly amused.]

$50? Don't I get a family discount?

1/4

[tarotcards]

$50 itself is already quite a discount considering how priceless these tips are, uncle.

But because you are my uncle, I can upgrade your subscription to a premium for free in which you will get one tip every minute for the next hour!

[tarotcards]

Tip 007: Become the ultimate loan shark. Break the limbs of those who owe you money then heal them so no one can prove you touched them. You'd be unstoppable.

[tarotcards]

Tip 008: Perform insurance fraud. Get hit by a car. Get your money. Heal yourself back to perfect shape. $$$

[tarotcards]

Tip 009: Charge Prompto $1 every time he needs you to heal him.

[Sooj. Omg.]

I'm starting to doubt the validity of these tips! Number eight is not sound advice. Do you know why?

[tarotcards]

[ someone needs to take away his phone ]

Why is that, dear uncle?

[daemonized]

Because, Souji, I actually cannot heal myself.

[tarotcards]

Okay, correction to that tip.

I'll get hit by a car and then you can heal me after.

[daemonized]

I think your brother might be very upset with me if he found out that I was advocating you getting hit with a car, over and over.

How many tips have you been sending out lately?

[tarotcards]

He would be at first, but then after you tell him the whole plan, I'm sure he'd volunteer as well.

I believe eight or nine so far? I've started to lose count after the fifth one.

[daemonized]

And you've not had complaints about the price nor the early hour?

[tarotcards]

Actually, I've had more people complaining about the tips themselves than anything else.

Everyone seems content to pay $50/month.

[daemonized]

Interesting. I suppose their priorities might differ from my own.

However, I do need to ask: I hope your sleep isn't suffering due to the creation of these tips?

[tarotcards]

Not at all. I actually woke up early today so I thought I could pass the time with these tips.

I'm quite proud of them, actually.

[daemonized]

[A brief pause before the next text. Is Souji the sort to distract himself with silly little endeavors like this, he wonders? Given the changes that's been happening to the boys, as of late, he feels the need to pry a little.]

It makes for a good distraction from worry, if nothing else, right?

[Sorry for you uncle, who Worries. If he's wrong, then he's wrong.]

[tarotcards]

[ Ah... did Ardyn already figure him out already? Time to deflect deflect deflect ]

Does it seem like I am worried?

[daemonized]

Are you saying that you're not?

[Straight to it, then.]

[tarotcards]

Yes, I'm feeling quite okay. If I'm honest, I am a little worried about my upcoming year at Recolle University but that's about it.

[ Lying is so much easier when it's done over text. ]

[daemonized]

[Ardyn is good at picking apart a lie, but it is more difficult over text. There's only so much he can garner from words alone, instead of expression, body language, timbre of voice.]

A conversation I'm more than willing to have with you, as you know I'm eager to lend you my aid -- no matter what your concerns might be.

Shall I be blunt with you, nephew?

[tarotcards]

Yes.

What is it, uncle?

[daemonized]

We haven't talked much about what's been affecting you as of late. Are you sure it isn't weighing you down, in ways you've simply not mentioned to me?

[tarotcards]

[ Now this is the hard part... where he doesn't want to lie to his uncle, the one person he considers as a close family member (which is impressive considering how terrible his relationship is with his parents) but on the other hand... he doesn't want to worry him either. He's so unused to having to share any of his thoughts that it's hard to do so, especially with family. ]

I truly appreciate the concern, Izunia-san, I really do but I am sure. I am all right.

It's nothing that I can't handle.

[daemonized]

[The text comes delayed, because he's judging how to respond from here. He wants to give his nephew the benefit of the doubt, and yet he doesn't want to overlook anything that might actually be bothering him.

He settles for a response that settles somewhere in-between. Later, perhaps, he'll feel bad about not pressing the matter with a more fervency.]

Far be it from me to not trust your own assessment of how you're doing, but you do realize that I'm here for you if you wish to talk? Even if it's something you find insubstantial. If it worries you, it is not insubstantial to me.
