Lucis Caelum. Ardyn Lucis Caelum. Quite the mouthful, isn't it? The strange thing is that it's shared with another young man here.

Perhaps, but the important thing now is that you /do/ have siblings. And more importantly, the one that matters -- me.

[An attempt at levity, but also true. Because, gross, their older brother and sister.]

You lived with your blinders on, you mean? Oblivious?

[rygdea]

Ardyn Lucis Caelum? Are you serious? Sounds like someone was abusing the Latin for the heck of it.

Wait, you share this surname with someone else? Who? It almost sounds too fictitious to be real.

[Oh, Ardyn. That slight joke does win a smirk from Fynn.]

Yeah, that's right! I didn't grow up alone in this life. I was karate choppin' you by age two, bro.

[He's not even lying about that. Fynn was a very energetic child and the source of many migraines.]

Painfully oblivious. We might as well had been cattle. Life on Cocoon was different than here in Recolle.

Much different. We really didn't have a care in the world.

I know. Over-the-top even for me, hm? As for the other person, a young man named Noctis. He's a student in one of my classes, and a good friend of Prompto's.

[At least the injection of humor worked.] That you were. How can I ever forget? [HE'LL NEVER FORGET...]

And all that changed? Or do you know?

[rygdea]

Noctis? [Too bad Ardyn can't see him roll his eyes.] Geez! Talk about pretentious. That is the most pretentious name I've heard yet and I thought "Prompto" was a snootie name.

[Probably less "snootie" and more "silly" to be honest.]

You know you loved my bad kungfu moves! You used to play along, dork

[Ah, talk about the good old days!]

I think so. Something bad happened but I can't remember what. Maybe Cocoon it fell.

[daemonized]

You can hardly blame anyone for being named what they are. I can't judge, after all, if my last name used to be "Lucis Caelum".

And that was only to humor you, Fynn.

[A lifetime ago.]

Fell? Due to what? A war? A revolt?

[He's fishing, knowing full-well that Fynn likely doesn't have all the answers.]
