Ugh. He doesn't like talking about himself as is, and now that there's nothing to gain from it, he really doesn't want to.
... but he doesn't want to leave any misunderstanding hanging around, in case Ardyn said anything that could be taken the wrong way. ]
I was interested in replacing some of my moonblessing features with golemancy so they would be easier to handle. But adapting to a different magical system is difficult.
He mentioned magitek during this discussion. Studying an alternative technology would indirectly help me towards that end.
[ Nothing's ever easy, is it? There had to be a reason Ardyn told him about this guy. Maybe he's getting fleeced again. But if it really helps him... Noctis knows firsthand how bad those moonblessings can be. And he doesn't even have it that bad compared to some people.
Good intentions... That's how it always starts out. But being heartless isn't the answer, either. ]
Look you know why I think it's a bad idea Using daemons like that is dangerous But any kind of weapon is dangerous in the wrong hands I'm not going to decide for you, but I won't stand in your way
If you do use it though... I'd like to hear about it If you don't mind I kind of feel like I owe you now for talking to somebody you don't know already this much
[ He knows what real physical distress is like; the moonblessings are incredibly annoying, but not at that level. (Yet.)
That said, he sighs to himself again. In a way, Noctis' acquiescence is even more annoying than the request to stop. He doesn't like dealing with people in the first place, and this sort of nuanced conversation is hard to handle. ]
You went through the trouble of contacting a stranger. It speaks to your level of potential distress. That's not something that can be so easily ignored. I'll consider my options.
For now, I'd like to ask what your relationship to Ardyn is. Most would not speak at length with the man indirectly responsible for exacerbating their country's war.
[ If Avicebron's not a fan of nuanced conversation, he really won't like the answer to that question. Which is fine, because Noctis isn't really eager to explain. ]
Know the saying about a bad coin that keeps showing up? That's him. And me too I guess With who we are, we can't really avoid each other I'd go into detail but it's a long story
[ Also he doesn't really want to tell it. But he might need Avice's help again, and he definitely wants to keep in contact if he does go through with the magitek thing... ]
If you ever want to meet in person, I'll tell you about it sometime.
But alright, he gets it. Some things just aren't fit to be discussed through brief writing like this. ]
Very well.
I'd prefer to know the full story before making my decision. You're free to visit my office at the Lunar Scientia headquarters at any time. I work in the geology department. If you ask for Caster, someone should be able to point you to my office.
Perhaps seeing my work in person will also affect your feelings on the matter, for better or for worse.
