Some say I should seek revenge, but the truth is I’m just so tired... Immortality is the worst curse you can inflict on a man, because his desires are all in the past, and the present no longer means anything for him...”

“Oh...” A melancholic smile blossomed on Ardyn’s lips. “I lost everything I cared about a very long time ago. I was tortured, imprisoned, captured; I was treated as a test subject until I proved myself useful and acquired a semblance of freedom.

Shaking the melancholic thoughts away, he bowed slightly:
“I fear I took enough of your time, I should get going at once and look after those beautiful roses.”

Ardyn Izunia @chancellorizunia.bsky.social · Aug 30

Ardyn let out a sigh, a dreaming expression in his eyes:
“So you have friends who protect you and your freedom? How nice it must feel to live with no strings attached... It has been so long since I was truly free that I don’t even remember how it feels...”

“Oh they were after me alright. Hell, they even made a missing person report, claiming i was kidnapped. But, my group and I never stayed in one place for long. And if there were any ShinRa units that found us, well“

She just grins

“Lets just say, we took care of them and they went off running“

“I can imagine they weren’t too happy to see you go, especially if like you say, they’re not good at keeping their SOLDIERs in the first place,” Ardyn chuckled. “Did they ever come after you? How do you manage to keep under the radar?” He asked, genuinely interested.

“You certainly are a friendly creature, that much I can attest to!”

Ardyn took place in the armchair and gazed at the ferret:
“Now that I understand you, why don’t you tell me your story?”

Ardyn Izunia @chancellorizunia.bsky.social · Aug 30

so trust me when I say that there is nothing on this earth and beyond that could scare me. If anything, I’m usually the scary one in the room!”

Ardyn Izunia @chancellorizunia.bsky.social · Aug 30

Ardyn started laughed, a genuine yet sad laugh:
“My dear fellow, I have been called a demon and a monster myself for so long I can’t even remember when I wasn’t called names; I was even locked away because people feared me,

"I mean it's not a mask, perse, but I get the... interest."

He stops for a moment, scratching the back of his clothed neck.

"... I am... complicated, I guess I could say. The bird head is not even the weirdest thing about me."

His shadow shifts a bit, as if it was in control of itself.-

Ardyn waved his concerns away with a dismissive gesture:
“Fear not; while your appearance might unsettle some, I have met many individuals whose appearance might be considered exotic in some places. I usually do not pay attention to what people look like,

Ah yes, that is another thing. Maybe he could try slowly with a light blonde colour so it doesn't come as a huge shock for him and others?

“I’m certainly glad you enjoyed the show,” he said, winking at her. “Is your curiosity satisfied now?”

Upon seeing Yuffie’s reaction, Ardyn realised he felt like a magician who just made children’s dreams come true, and it actually felt good. He usually refrained from displaying his powers in public, but the look on the young woman’s face convinced him that there was no harm done.

I don’t think I would have use of a phone anyway; I have no one to call, and I like writing letters better. It feels more personal.”

Ardyn Izunia @chancellorizunia.bsky.social · Aug 30

“Outdated?”

Ardyn frowned slightly as he tried to understand why someone would get a phone, only to end up getting an outdated version. He eventually shrugged:
“Oh well, as long as he’s happy with it, that is all what matters, isn’t it?

If it is indeed a change you're after, I have plenty of ideas, my friend! What about getting a new hair colour?

And why, pray tell, would he want to do that in the first place?

Grinning, he pointed a finger up towards Yuffie and conjured a light blizzard draught that only she could feel.

He placed his right hand on the table, and after making sure no one would spot him, he called upon his magic and had a small flame materialise in the palm of his hand, before snuffling it out by closing his hand into a fist.

His laughter went on as he saw her victory gesture, and for one second he thought she would hum that victory fanfare Prompto was so fond of.

“Yes, I can,” he confirmed. “Which is also the reason why I didn’t know what materias were in the first place.”

“Don’t you want to pack some things for the trip? You’re welcome to stay for as long as you wish; mostly because you will hardly see the extent of Eos in one day!”

“Oh, I see...” Not that he planned on memorizing that odd expression anyway, but at least he would be ready next time the young woman would use it.

He was taken off guard by her spontaneous reply, and that got her another amused glance:

“And here I was, thinking I was an oddity because I do not own such contraption. May I enquire as to why your friend Vincent didn’t have a phone either? Oh, and thank you for your assistance. Who needs a phone, when you have kind people helping you out with all those modern devices?”

I’m more interested in the person behind the mask, and I can sense that there is more to you than meets the eye...”

"... Perhaps both." His shadows shift a bit as he gives a light chuckle. "Some can feel it though they aren't too sure of what it is. I'm a... unique individual, or so I've been told. Not just due to appearance either though that's the first thing some look at."

Ardyn Izunia @chancellorizunia.bsky.social · Aug 28

“I can assure you we haven’t,” Ardyn’s mellifluous voice matched his amused smile. “And I shall return the compliment, you too have a sort of feeling as well, although I can’t say I could describe it. Mystery, power, or maybe both?

“No, yes, yes and yes,” he replied using the same tone.
