Okay, King Issues, you know that's not gonna happen. We'll end up wherever we end up, and it's gonna have nothing to do with what he's doing or where he is.
[Izunia, being the cowardly brother himself, knows that's unlikely to happen.
Especially because that would mean that Church and everyone else would never get their free shot.]
If you want to never see my face again, that's your absolute prerogative at this point. I...
[He fidgets. Admitting what he wants is hard when he knows the last thing he deserves is to get it, but - Ardyn doesn't seem to be putting anything on the table, does he? So if Izunia says nothing, they'll just continue circling around each other like this.]
...I would like to keep in contact, even if only in some small way to know that you're alive.
[the point being 'i will literally cross this universe if if means never having to see you again']
And why should I? My life is no longer your concern, and I'm not all that inclined to keep in touch with someone who stubbornly haunts the nightmares I unfortunately have as a mortal.
How the fuck is that not the--?! [He shuts his mouth instantly with a clack of teeth and set jaw and decides, okay, so, best course of action, pretend you're not here.]

Have a shrug, Ardyn.]
Well, you don't seem to know what you want.
[Make up your messy two thousand year old mind!]
If you don't want to, I have neither the desire nor the ability to force you.
[Because he does realize that Ardyn isn't likely to take desire alone as proof, not from his mouth.]
