[The frown only deepens. Only Ardyn Izunia would practically scowl at the idea of a friend remaining steadfast and refusing to give up on him so easily. But he can only see it as a waste of time, now that the truth is out. A way of just delaying the inevitable further.

He's sure that he'll be saying "I told you so" sooner rather than later.

Still, to Ardyn's credit, he gives no voice to these thoughts. If X'rhun wanted to try, then let him try. He would not change himself for the sake of someone else, no matter how pleasurable their company might be.]

Very well. If that is the path you choose to take. Simply do not be surprised when you discover it only leads directly off of a high cliff.

[A muscle in his jaw twitches, but he already knows what he wishes to say next.]

Did you mention my healing you to Prompto?

[He doesn't wish to really speak of it, but this is something he feels like he needs to know.]

[verflair]

[ It seems to X’rhun that this was the most peaceful way to end the conversation – he dares not push too much for fear that Ardyn will only push back harder. Better to admit to playing the fool than to call Ardyn out for wanting him to make the first move. ]

I mentioned that you had helped me, though I did not go into detail. Your tale remains yours to tell or to keep, as you see fit.

[daemonized]

...Good.

[That is a tale that he is not ready to share with hardly anyone, though if Prompto knew how to coax and prod in just the right way, Ardyn might be inclined to speak of it. But he doubts the boy can utilize words like tools, in the same manner that he can.]

The boy has- [He pauses, wondering if he wants to even say this much, be continues anyway.] He's been particularly stubborn about talk of humanity and the like. I do not need you to share that tale with him just so he can make implications all day long.

[verflair]

Implications that you are something other than what you are, you mean?

[ Ardyn has already made it quite clear that he would change for no one, and he’s aware that Prompto can sometimes wield words with all the grace of a brick to the face, so he’s not too surprised to learn that Ardyn finds it bothersome. ]

Rest assured, I don’t intend to go blabbing about you to everyone I know. I assume these things were shared with me in confidence, and I will keep to that.

[daemonized]

Exactly that.

[Wielding words with the grace of a brick to the face is right. Prompto often just comes out and says what's on his mind, so different than Ardyn, who picks and chooses at them carefully.]

And in that case, then I suppose there's nothing more to say on the matter. I should let you return to having some time to yourself. You look like you could use the rest.

[verflair]

That bad, am I?

[ He gives a small smile, but it’s a weary thing. ]

Very well, then. Thank you for hearing me out, at the very least.

[daemonized]

I wouldn't call it bad. Just an unfortunate side-effect of mortality.

[And with that, he rises to his feet, that usual smile on his face. Gone back to his default manner, it would appear.]

You know where to find me, X'rhun.

[And Ardyn will see himself out, unless otherwise interrupted.]
