[Tony lets her guide his face and smiles at her. There's something real in the smile even if there's pain to. A touch of humor.]
Gladio said you were dangerous.
[His friend had said, Pyra gets people to say things they didn't mean to share. Here he was doing the same.]
The part that's...
[Unfair? Hurts the most? Sucks? Felt like he has dumped gasoline on his skin and lit it on fire?]
.. Hardest, I guess?.. is doing it twice.
That family that you were describing is something I found on the Voidtrecker. It started with Ignis and then Gladio boarded not long after. A few stops later Noct and Prompto joined them.
[He moved his hand and tugged from under his shirt where a silver chain had been kept hidden was a tiny, skull charm that Pyra would have no doubt seen many times before on a certain advisor's neck.]
Ignis and I were partners and eventually engaged. He found a little girl in need of a family and fell head over heels for her. It was so sweet watching them together. We weren't married, but Ignis insisted she take both of our last names. He was.. as you can imagine.. very formal about those sort of things. All the boys- Gladio, Prompto, and Noct- loved her and were excited to be her uncle.
There were actually many children on board that I was close to. Only one other boy that I 'officially' adopted, but it meant something to him to have a last name he could be proud of. So..
But our family included Noct, Prompto, and Gladio. We fought together and struggled through things, particularly when Ignis vanished. I hope Noct and Prompto have someone else they can lean on when they woke to find Gladio and I were gone. Maybe they went home or somewhere else too, I don't know.
[He went quiet then, unable to say more for a few moments. Any attempt and he knew he'd break. This was kind of embarrassing pouring his heart out to someone he knew hardly at all but for whatever reason this story had to come out.]
