I’ll not refute that he is dangerous. I have seen that much with mine own two eyes, in a place where our innate abilities were not sealed away as they are now. Neither will I refute that he is cruel.

[ But they are rather starting from scratch here, and X’rhun ponders over the best place to start. Idly, he circles a thumb over the surface of his glass, where the cool water has started condensation to form. ]

They are from the same world, though I suspect you likely put that much together even if Noctis did not say as much. ‘Tis a rather long and complicated story that I do not know if I am fully qualified to tell, but suffice it to say that Ardyn is a force of darkness, and Noctis is to be the light that banishes him. It probably sounds a bit fantastical, light and dark, the will of the gods, and the fate of an entire world hanging in the balance, but I assure you it is very much true.

Part of the reason I tell you this is so you understand when I tell you that on El Nysa – the world we were on previously – we were made to believe that our home worlds had been destroyed. What use does an evil man, even one who is darkness incarnate, have for deception and pawns when there is naught left for him?

[He had known, of course, that they hailed from similar worlds. That they were at odds, and deeply so. But this talk of him being a literal fore of darkness, and Noctis the light to banish it? Fantastical indeed, but the subject is too serious (and he trusts in X'rhun's words) to question it.

That just makes it all the more difficult to swallow.

It takes a moment for Markus to reply, the look of consternation on his face not having dissipated.]

Being without a goal isn't enough to erase the... pillars of someone's personality. Unless you're telling me that he's turned over a new leaf in the time he was in that other world.

[Which wouldn't make sense, since... Noctis.]
