I must thank you for your interest in keeping things fair.
Though if you're hoping for me to express my regrets, or apologize, you will be sorely disappointed.

In this instance, it is not Ardyn that requires aid. I have given him boundless compassion and concern, but there are others who also deserve such care.
Alexander, you speak as if you pity him.
Alexander, you speak as if you pity him.
I figured you wouldn't.
But it's no skin off my back, since you've made it clear I hit where it hurts.

I can hardly imagine how miss Glacies stands you.
Well, if you're not in the mood to discuss handing him over, I wish you luck in concealing this little game. And in handling his tempter when he awakens, or revives, or what have you.

Am I not allowed to be upset and concerned about the circumstances that made him? You've seen him without his memories. You cannot deny how his isolation changed him.
What was done cannot be erased in months. Truly, I wish this was not the case.
I am not condoning some of his worst actions, but if you want him to heal you will need to give him more time.

I can't imagine either.
Anyway, depends on how in the mood you are to offer something. Rather than vaguely threaten me.
No trying to cut off my tongue again?

Oh, it is not me threatening you. I don't imagine torture would help in this situation at all. I simply have no idea as to what you could possibly want at this point.
[you know when the options are having Ardyn tied up or having Ardyn with free use of his hands, Luna can't help leaning towards restricting his movements! so, while Jason has sufficiently distracted Ardyn without getting to the heart of it, she will try that knocking someone out with a strike to the neck trick!! ty super speed]
[WELL, THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT.
and he's ready with a taser, juuust in case.
after all, they need to keep it real.]

[ well that's RUDE
he can't really do shit about that though. congratulations you have (1) ko'd absinthe ]

Do you wish for him to return to how he was? Following that same path? I cannot imagine that he will ever wish for it himself.
Aera did not task me with healing him. She begged me to stop him, and that much is in my power.

[carefully watching Jason with the taser, bad memories, and getting started on rope]
He was cautious. Were you able to discern anything from that exchange?

He's got no connection to Lilith.
[he sounds certain as he looks over the knots just in case.]
He came running, and spent most of his time bluffing. He's also scared, and trying to hide it.

'Tis an impossibility for him to be as he was.
And for a moment discard what Aera wants, the line of Lucis, or anyone else for that matter.
What do you want for Ardyn Lucis Caelum?

I see . . .
[giving enough room for him to look before moving to pick Ardyn up]
It does match with what Alexander said. The issue will be trying to pull the truth from him when he is aware that I am also present.

He's gonna resist it no matter what.
[he leans over him, and then considers.]
Might be better to make him uncomfortable. Harder to keep composure when you can't relax.

Then, why do you speak of his suffering? He is forever changed as is everyone that he has come in contact with, the very world itself. It can never be erased.
. . . I want him to know peace, rest. That is all.
. . . I want him to know peace, rest. That is all.
And we will also have to discern when we have gotten it. I can only imagine he will give us a small portion to serve his own ends.
You have another idea?
You have another idea?
Yeah.
[time to haul up an unconscious grandpa, and look for some leverage.
he's taking more rope, actually, and creating just the slightest bit of tension by holding one end, looping it around an awning bar, and then tying the other end to the knots Glacies had already done.
when the tension is tight, it pulls his arms up so he has to stand on his toes to maintain comfort.]
As for how to tell, I've got some of it already. But realistically... you want me to be the canon you mighta regretted calling in.
I mean, I could do it, either way.

[as someone highly familiar with how this granpa spent a few thousand years, she is going to be damn uncomfortable and show it]
A touch lower. Please.
And what do you have? Before we have to put on this show together.

Because no one should be alone, Glacies.
Then his goals and yours align. I do believe it will run its course if you let it, but it will not be without it mishaps.

He never will be, not unless it is his choice to be. You and I are sure to see to that.
Those mishaps are the lives of others. So long as he and I live within the same realm, he must understand that he can no longer cross that line.

Do you care about him, Glacies? Truthfully.
No more than I care for anyone else . . .
