I know. We're going to march right up to wherever they're being kept and we'll get them back, whatever it takes. I know I make it sound so easy and it... it probably won't be, will it?
[ She gives a nervous laugh and pats his back gently. ]
But we'll do it. If we're all stood together then I don't think there's a thing in the world we can't do. And then once it's all said and done... that means they've got a second chance, doesn't it? To keep on living.
[ A second chance to find somewhere to make a home, to make a family, for Noctis and Luna to finally get married without death and despair hanging over them. She likes the idea of it. ]
[ She gives him one in return -- a little less shaky, but no less tired, and shakes her head. ]
No, it's nothing you need to apologize for. This... it's a lot, isn't it? All of it. And I know you won't stop watching. If you feel like it's what you have to do, then I can't make you stop. But if you feel like you need to step away or you have to take a break or anything just... come find me and we'll go into the garden. Okay?
[ It's not as good as hit me as hard as you can but hopefully it's as good a substitute as she can provide. ]
Well, you had the terrible fortune of being stuck on the same spaceship as us and then we couldn't leave well enough alone. It's a terrible burden to carry, I know, but plenty of people make it through life with a clingy family.
[ Her smile's a little brighter now, just a little steadier. ]
[ That's all she gets out before she realizes she's getting scooped up off her feet like a child. Whatever else she was going to say gets lost as he startles a laugh out of her and she finds that once she's started, she can't easily make herself stop. ]
Y--you see?! All that about me being the most dangerous one here and you go and pick me up like you're scruffing a kitten!

...What have I ever done to deserve any of you?

Do you think you can handle that?

[His brother had been clingy in his own way, once--but that had been so long ago as to have already been a distant memory when Ardyn was still human.]
But I think I'd like to give it a try and see where things go from here.

[Ardyn stood up, made a bit of a show of dusting himself off, then-]
[...hugged Yuuri and picked her up like she weighed about the same as a couple of grapes.]
I have been told I'm completely insufferable.
