Please don't tell anyone any of what I've just told you. But especially not him.

[ she's been holding all her secrets so close to her chest since getting here. None of them know who she is, not really, and only a tiny handful of people know the kind of world she came from. It's only the fact that she feels Izunia, of all people, has the right to know them. ]

I'm sorry to ask you to lie for me like this. But I just... I don't think I can make myself answer any of the questions it would bring up.

I lived a lie for the entire later half of my life, Yuuri.

[You are family therefore you get first name basis now! Deal w/ it.]

This small omission will give me no difficulty, I assure you.

I know. That's exactly why I'm apologizing.

[ It doesn't feel right for the first thing he does now, the first time he's Izunia again in so long, to be a lie of omission, even if it's for the better. ]

I might not have a choice eventually -- if anyone from home ever comes here, I'm sure it might come out. But for the time being, it's definitely less complicated this way.

[Girl you say that like he probably wouldn't have just gone right on introducing himself as Ardyn if she hadn't called his ass out and then told him an actual Ardyn was here.]

It's far from the worst thing I've done for the sake of family.

[ I can imagine, she almost says, but swallows the barb back. She's certainly not happy with him by any stretch of the word, but that seems pointlessly cruel and she can't make herself land a low blow like that. He already knows what mistakes he's made. And besides, he's probably going to do enough making up for it as soon as Ardyn gets within arms reach of him.

So instead she just nods and gives him a grim smile. ]

Then all I can really say is "good luck", isn't it? At the very least, he shouldn't be able to cause too much damage while we're here...

Thank you. I fear I'll need it.

[Even if he can put it off for some time, a confrontation with the Ardyn here is inevitable eventually. Their fates and fuck-ups are too deeply intertwined.]

If he sees me, I'll try to draw him off, but if I can't... Focus on getting yourself and others out of danger. I used to call him 'Ardyn Lucis Collateral Damage' when we were about your age, and I can't imagine he's gotten any better.

You say that like I'm not going to be three islands away the instant I have reason to suspect the two of you are even on the same half of the island.

[ she enjoys being ALIVE, thank you very much.

but the grim little smile on her face sobers up a little as she carries on. ]

You don't have to worry. I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt by him, if I have anything to do with it. I'm not going to go out of my way to put myself in danger but I'm not going to just stand back and let him... happen to people if I can stop it.

[...Honestly he can't argue with that, it's probably a safe policy. Warp-fighting tends to require very large arenas to do properly.]

He rather is like a force of nature sometimes. 'Happen' is hardly the wrong word.

[He's smiling, faintly. What a good niece.]
