[There's that. Though ask Prompto, and he might not have that big of an issue with the astral as, say, Ardyn does.]

And why wouldn't they? Reliable creatures that they are.

[verflair]

[ Any Eorzean never really wants to talk about Bahamut, truthfully. And Prompto’s paramor has more reason to hate the primal than most.

Suffice it to say, it hasn’t come up. ]

Ardyn. Don’t tell me you have a fondness for chocobos?

[daemonized]

[His secret is out -- though maybe it's not really a secret worth keeping.]

I used to own one. If I didn't have a fondness for them, then what a comedy of errors that would've been.

[verflair]

Well that may be true, but if I’d known, I would have gotten you something in yellow instead.

[ Probably not, though. ]

[daemonized]

I never said it was a yellow chocobo that I owned.

[Though the thought of a bright yellow (and feathery) scarf is rather amusing.]

Do you think the color would suit me, however?

[verflair]

Oh? Then what color was it?

[ He leans over, resting an elbow on the table as he scrutinizes Ardyn a moment, trying to imagine a bright yellow scarf in place of his current one. ]

Hm. I'm not sure. Mayhap something more golden than bright yellow. [ He makes a vague gesture at his own face. ] It would bring out your eyes.

[daemonized]

Black.

[And no one was surprised.]

And the next purchase I make of the scarf-variety, I'll be sure that it's a glittering, golden hue. To match my eyes, since you flatter me so.

[verflair]

Of course.

[ Said on a laugh. He is not surprised at all. ]

Oh, hush. You asked for my opinion and I simply gave it.

[daemonized]

No, no, it's flattery. You'll make me blush.

[When it comes to dramatics, Ardyn will take the ball and run with it if no one stops him.]

As bright red as a schoolgirl.

[verflair]

[ And X'rhun is certainly not the person to stop him. ]

Oh, is that all it will take? Somehow I imagined getting you to go red would be more of a challenge than that.

[daemonized]

[Well then they're just going to be an embarrassment to everyone around them.]

One would think so, but only those who know me well are aware of the truth -- I'm a very sensitive man. And particularly susceptible to compliments being thrown my way.

[verflair]

[ Good thing they're off in the corner of shame already. ]

Ardyn, Ardyn, Ardyn. You should know better than to arm me with such information.

[daemonized]

[Their shame cannot be contained by a single corner.]

Maybe I'm secretly telling you to compliment me more often, did you think of that?

[verflair]

[ Sorry to everyone in this cafe. ]

Oh, if that is the case, where shall I go from here? Your charming wit, mayhap?

[ Someone stop them. ]

[daemonized]

Oh, my charming wit or my handsome features. Either one is a particularly effective place to begin.

[No one is here to stop them.]

[verflair]

Careful. You get me started on either and we may well be here all day.

[ Then extra apologies to everyone in this cafe. ]

[daemonized]

[Oh, X'rhun. That makes Ardyn laugh openly.]

My, you're good at this. [That wasn't a retort he had been expecting, truly.] I should be careful around you.

[verflair]

You had better be. [ This, punctuated by a sly grin. ] It wouldn’t do to have to succumb to my wiles so quickly.

[daemonized]

[A small noise of amusement, adjusting the scarf around his neck once more.]

No, I shall not. I'm stronger than that, and you'll have to keep trying before I submit.

[verflair]

Oh, rest assured. I won't give up so easily.

[ Is that a wink? Yeah, that's a wink. ]
