monday, week one

[moraled]

[He has to check the graves.

He's been avoiding it, as if it were unjust and wrong for him to go to the graves of two young girls who deserved better than their fate. They should have been able to do something to save them--

But they couldn't.

That's their guilt, and he can't avoid it by avoiding the graves.

He wasn't expecting to see a figure there already, though.]

...Ah. Young Noctis.

[Whoops. Didn't mean to interrupt your mourning your dead girlfriend time.]

[moraled]

You shall not have to.

[At least he sounds confident. He nods simply, arms crossed.]

It is the duty of a knight to protect those who cannot defend themselves. However... a knight who cannot defend himself can defend no one.

[He'll look after himself as best he can, don't worry.]

[elemancy]

Can't really argue that. Defeats the point of that whole knighthood thing, right?

[he gets it. he may not be knight, but it's not like he doesn't know people like that. he gets it—it's a duty and a lifestyle, and one that someone like barnham would take a lot of pride in upholding.

gladio may have taught him a lesson or two about how that works.]

[moraled]

Precisely.

[not that he's...probably a knight anymore in name since he's got the whole prison sentence thing but... you can't take the knight out of a person.]

I do like to believe I am the trustworthy sort--though I am aware this, at the very least, requires proof more than words.

[So he'll try not to be dead.]

[elemancy]

Definitely the kind of thing that works better in actions. At least... that's how I think it is.

[actions speak louder than words and all that. besides, knightly types really do just have that sort of integrity that shows, no matter what words they say.

he gets it all too well.]
