[ He pauses and clasps his hands together, arms resting on his knees as he leans forward. ]

If you can do this kind of thing with me, have you done it with him? So you guys can talk about this stuff. [ He chances a look at Izunia, at the one he shares such a striking resemblance with. ] So you can apologize.

[founderinglight]

...His heart is closed to me, and justifiably so. I won't force him to hear my words only for my own satisfaction.

[He shifts to lean back in his seat, the opposite of Noctis with his elbows on his knees. His gaze has found its way to the sky again.]

No apology would ever be enough, anyway.

[nightcure]

You'd be surprised. He's changed a lot since everything happened.

[founderinglight]

...Perhaps. But neither is he your paragon of forgiveness, and the things I did were far worse than you probably imagine.

[nightcure]

I know a couple things. [ He pauses. ] You don't have to go into details though.

Why'd you reach out to me, anyway?

[founderinglight]

[Well why do you think, Noctis, considering that he was just rather aggressive about you deserving an apology for how he fucked your life up. For a moment, Izunia just gives him a look that somehow manages to express exactly that.]

...You are my favorite descendant, you know.

[nightcure]

[ .... well, true. ]

That's a pretty high compliment, considering how many there've been.

[founderinglight]

You remind me a great deal of us when we were younger. Perhaps too much, sometimes.

[Eat your gotdamn vegetables Noct.]

...And - it isn't that you didn't flinch back from the things that were hard for you. You accepted that difficulty and kept going anyway, instead of trying to pretend that that difficulty didn't mean anything.

[There's some genuine admiration and affection mixed into his voice. He's so proud of you, supergreat grandson.]
