Most changelings seek to destroy that which replaced them, even if circumstances are such that they can't take their old lives back. Our family - [And there's a slight emphasis on the word, easy enough to miss if you aren't looking for it.] - regards things rather differently.
[Izunia runs a hand through his hair.]
It's... extremely unusual for someone as high profile as Ardyn to still have a Fetch around, much less for me to be a reasonably high-profile member of the community myself. Word of mouth travels, and I've had no small few think they were doing my other half a favor by trying to get rid of me.
[Akira listens to this carefully... and in the mirror one can almost see the swishswish of a tail that isn't there- ghostly movements of something curious and laser focused]
I see... I think I understand. Sure as hell don't agree- why would you fight a part of yourself- but I GET it.
Again, the way we regard each other is rather different. To most changelings, a Fetch is... a fake thing made to look like them, not a person. I'm pretty sure even most of the ones who come into this office don't entirely consider me a person, but I patch them up just the same.

They usually get more than they bargain for.

[He wants to ask if Izunia dreams: if he did that'd be evidence enough for him. But that might open a barrel of worms, so instead Akira nods]
Well, I won't spread anything around- I wouldn't get anything from attacking you, either.

I appreciate it, and I'm sure that Ardyn will too. He's... a bit reckless with his safety sometimes, honestly.
[A thing which has a perfectly rational explanation but we are not getting into the details of Durance with a kid we just met.]
If you give me a moment, I can go give him a call right now - I think he's just being a vagrant again tonight, nothing of importance.
[Pretending to be a 'harmless' homeless man is the Autumn King's hobby, apparently.]
