In other words, I have marginally less chance of getting set on fire, while you have a one-hundred-percent-absolute-certainty of blowing the fuck up if this damn thing ever works again.
Idiot.

What the hell do you mean 'unquestionably-Ardyn questionable traits'?!
He was all scourge-ified when he first put the damn thing on, and given how most shit out of that dumbwaiter was a fake plastic version, I'm still convinced it's fake as hell anyway. You and Noctis can't both have it!
...I mean, if you're willing to pass it here, I can tell you for sure. I was in the damn thing for two thousand years, I'm the closest thing you're going to get to an expert.
[Also his business is literally looking for counterfeits these days, that also helps.]
I'M NOT GONNA GET SET ON FIRE THAT'S LITERALLY THE POINT I'M MAKING! [fandom likes to paint wash as the only screechy yeller, but no, church came first]
I've been training with him I could fight him. [church no] You know I was gonna try and take it off him to figure out his stupid ring size and be all sneaky about it? Didn't fucking take!
A fair fight is the only one you stand any kind of chance in, and that's not likely to happen. The only person in our family who actually believes in those is Noctis.
[Completely casual, but also like. Dude the Lucis Caelums are a bunch of underhanded cheaters, they're in politics.
Do you get called Your Majesty in bed, too? Or say all kinds of really nice things about your partner, I wish I could do that effectively, just, uh, kinda can't, though...
[Ardyn's comment gets a half laugh and a flourishing bow, complete with Armiger-summoned feathered hat. Better than the reaction he was fearing, really.]
My attention to detail is my only redeeming feature.
[Church you get no information on his sex life at all though sorry man.]

Ridiculously perfectly matched... Unless you're literally going to fight the ring off him, which I don't advise, it's clearly not going anywhere.

And he's right, there's not much else of interest that wasn't mine first.
