[He's silent for a moment, and there is some mode of consideration happening; just perhaps not the kind she's wishing for.]
Very well. [-he says, regardless. Despite the fact that this is a situation that he's already mentally written off, though perhaps it does cling to his mind in an annoyingly permanently way, something that even Ardyn cannot full dismiss if he wanted to.]
You wish for what I think? I think that in many ways, what plague me does grant me advantages unseen in others in my world. And though pain is far away and my existence is unbearably long, there is simply little to be done about those particular side-effects. What ails me is a disease that might as well be alive in its own right, therefore making it particularly stubborn against all forms of medicine; for as long as I've lived, there has only been one true way to heal the Starscourge, and even then, those were cases far less serious than mine. I can say with certainty that this is very much unavailable us now.
[A beat.]
My meaning being this: I would love help from you. [He sounds facetious with his word choice, and yet perhaps the sentiment is not misplaced.] If I knew you would be able to give it.
