[The pause on her end has Ardyn questioning just how irritated she is with him, so he's glad to see his phone light up with her text.]

At this point I believe you may just enjoy throwing me in a lake as recompense.

But I am fine, I promise. There was far less healing to be done this week, and the only injuries I have are a few bruises. A few are even interestingly shaped.

[Shaped like the suckers of a tentacle wrapped around his bottom leg. What a fun time week 2 has been.]

What about yourself?

[erythristic]

i'm well. bruises and scrapes already healing. others got off much worse, so i've been running around trying to keep these fools together when they're so determined to subvert my efforts. one count of cracked ribs, arm dislocation, stabbing, blood loss...that's just a small list.

the consolation is that we hit everything harder than it hit us.

[daemonized]

Such as to be expected from fighting monsters.

[Some of those fights sound serious, and it does cause Ardyn to frown down at the text a little. Not just because of the injuries, but also due to the fact that Grell seems to have to handle all of this by herself. It sounds like a bit much for only one person.]

Does anyone need a bit of extra healing, perhaps? [It should come as NO SURPRISE that he offers this.] Is Prompto all right? You should allow yourself to take a break as well, Grell.

[erythristic]

it's kind of you to offer, but we'll be alright. prompto's fine, he has a bazooka now. and i'll rest when i can, even if it means i simply sleep an entire day after this madness has ended.

[daemonized]

Sorry, Prompto has a /what/?

[erythristic]

it's a very large gun weapon.

i have no idea where he got it.

[daemonized]

I know what a bazooka is.

[GRELL... she's messing with him, he knows it.]

I mean to say that I cannot see the fact that he has one now as a particularly positive development. What if he blows himself up?

[erythristic]

that's why he has all of team cognac around him. to prevent that from happening.

also i think he knows that if he blows himself up you would disapprove of the events highly.

[daemonized]

Didn't you just say that Team Cognac has a habit of being riddled with injuries? No offense meant, but this doesn't inspire confidence that everyone will be able to stop him from blowing himself up. Does he even know how to properly use it?

[erythristic]

he's used it before with no cost to himself. i think he'll be fine - plus ammunition will be hard to come by. it's not like he'll be shooting things all over the place.

[daemonized]

I suppose you're right. It isn't exactly easy to find rockets to arm a bazooka with.

[This should make him feel better, but... it really doesn't. He'll just have to question Prompto about it sometime in the near future.]

At any rate, you're right about needing a day's rest after all of this is through. I may even sleep a full eight hours that day, can you possibly imagine?

[A few seconds before the next text comes through.]

I feel like I haven't seen you nearly as much as I often do, thanks to all that's happened. [And really, he hasn't.] Spend the day with me, whenever the world manages to find itself in a state of normalcy again?

[erythristic]

such was my intention. even if you hadn't asked, i would have come back to you once the world settles down, and then refused to leave your side. how does that sound for a plan?

[daemonized]

Hmm. I don't think I'd be foolish enough to complain at the prospect of you at my side for an entire day. But what shall we do to pass the time?

[It isn't a sincere question. For all he cares, they could just sit in silence and he'd be happy.]

[erythristic]

whatever we decide we want. even if that means we do nothing at all and simply allow ourselves to rest. whatever it is, if i'm with you, i will consider it the highlight of my entire month.

[daemonized]

Not as much of a highlight as it would be for me, of that I can assure you.

Rest is well and good, but I can think of a few things to do to pass the time.

[erythristic]

will you elaborate, or will you keep me in suspense?

[daemonized]

Far be it from me to not encourage you to use your imagination regarding what I might have in mind.

[erythristic]

with words like that, i can only hope that this is resolved sooner rather than later.

[daemonized]

Soon, I hope. There's only so much riddles and monster fighting that I have left in me. And I'll be able to rest well knowing that my nephew is safe.

Besides, I have a few other things I wish to tell you then. Memories and the like, small fleeting things.

[erythristic]

i do as well. nothing that strikes me as earthshaking, but i'm already keeping you up to date on them - why not some lighter fare as well?

we'll bring souji back, i know it for certain.

[daemonized]

I think lighter fare is welcome after all the rather... serious ones. You'll laugh at a couple of mine, I just know it.

Thank you. Your reassurance never fails to bring me confidence.
