His lips twitched upwards into a smirk and he lowered the hat onto his own head. Noctis wasn’t usually one to act so childish, but he liked getting on Ardyn’s nerves. It was one of the few pleasures he was able to indulge himself in these days.

It was one of the few times nobody was actively trying to kill him.

Well, he didn’t think Ardyn was going to attack him. The man was the Chancellor of Niflheim, but so far he had made no move to harm him. He didn’t trust Ardyn exactly, but he didn’t feel in any immediate danger.

((I'm taking a me day today, but I am gonna try to answer some threads while I chill. Just so you guys know, I did have a panic attack yesterday. So, I need to try to relax and get back on track. If I don't get a reply to you today, I'm sorry. I hope you guys understand.))

Bartz Klauser moved through the beautiful land of Eos, he covered one injury on his back from fighting a behemoth of all things to gain some experience as green boots dragged in the dirt. 

His trusted Chocobo companion Boko was leaning against him to help stand him up like a crutch as they traveled on, Bartz smiled to Boko, assuring that he was fine.

“It’s..alright Pal, i didn’t get injuried that badly..heh heh”

“KWEHH Kweeee! kwerrhhh!”(trans: yes you did! you must be more careful!)

“I know I know..i’m trying bud, really..!”

“Kweee! kweeeeh!”( you better try! i’m not losing my friend!)

“Why the hell does it matter to you if I understand or not?” He was so fickle that War couldn’t really get a read on him. It was like he had split personalities or something. “You try and kill me at the base, then you let me leave, then you want to tell me your life story. What is it that you want?”

((I'll be lurking today. I don't wanna push myself as hard as I did before; no sense in breaking shortly after returning.))

((Good mornng, everybody! I'm back once again with more oily villainy. I'm gonna be on mobile for a bit, but I'll be answering replies and asks the best I can. I'll be on my laptop after noon. Anyways, let's get down to business! Ardyn, if you would....))

((Good morning, friends! Ardyn is in the building! Make way, peasants!))
