Your assumption being that the justification in this world might align with whatever existed in the "past", if we are to call it that. The narrative is still incomplete. I don't know what motivated that man. Don't be so quick to discard nurture, as if it will always be the one to lose the battle.

[playdolls]

You'll know sooner or later, won't you? Are you ready? Or will you cower.

[ Hadn't this all started with Pitou calling him a coward. ]

[daemonized]

You don't give me enough credit, as if often the case. I won't turn away from whatever happens.

[playdolls]

I don't give you any credit, Ardyn. I thought you knew that.

[daemonized]

And yet look how tightly I hold onto that small flicker of hope that, someday, you might just consider doing so.

[playdolls]

Doomed. Foolish.

[daemonized]

Stubborn. Fatalistic!

[playdolls]

Oh my, such a big word you spelled.

[daemonized]

I have plenty more if you'd like to hear them.

[playdolls]

Prompto said you gave him a dictionary as a gift?
What is wrong with you.

[daemonized]

He told you that?

[Okay look it was a little more complicated than Ardyn just giving Prompto a dictionary out of the blue... it was a running joke. Kind of. But. The boy did need it.]

Did he also tell you that he made use of it?

[playdolls]

That is not the point, you tedious old man.

[ WHO GIVES PEOPLE DICTIONARIES IN THIS YEAR OF OUR LORD???!?!?!?! ]

[daemonized]

It was an appreciated gift! That officially overrides any point that you were trying to make.

[ARDYN IZUNIA DOES, IT WAS FUNNY OKAY but also practical.]

[playdolls]

Just teach him to google,
there a practical life skill.

[ For an impractical puppy of a boy. ]

[daemonized]

Are you telling me that searching for a word through the dictionary, utilizing one's powers of alphabetization, is /not/ a practical life skill?

[playdolls]

I'm saying it's an archaic one. Just like you.

[daemonized]

You realize I'm only 37, don't you?

[playdolls]

I'm almost half your age, thus. Ancient.

[ at 23 Pitou is little more than a literal infant. ]

[daemonized]

And how old are you, exactly?

[playdolls]

Twenty three, I graduated high school two years early and then Grell scuttled me through my internship, I'm precocious like that.

[Should be just barely out of college, instead has been a working professional for the past three years already. ]

[daemonized]

[That is... very impressive, and of course Ardyn won't say otherwise. Thankfully, it's not his point.

His point is:]

Practically a child. It only makes sense that you would label me as "ancient".

[playdolls]

Isn't that what I just said?
I should have known she'd like older men though.

[daemonized]

[This conversation... Don't make him think about his slow but inevitable crawl to 40.]

And why do you say that?

[playdolls]

Dusty. Smells like books.

[ RIMSHOT. ]

[daemonized]

[bURN]

I am neither dusty nor do I smell like an old library.
