You think? [He doesn't sound so sure.] I'm the one who's going to kill him, though. I don't get how that would be reassuring.
[He can't help recalling what Ardyn had said, though- how, at that point, he might welcome it. it's a terrible thought, but one he can't quite shake either.]
He did say... he thought maybe his future self might welcome it. Dying, that is. A salvation of some kind. I don't like the idea of me being the delivery method for a mercy kill, but... that's how it'll end up whether I like it or not, I think.
[Not just Ardyn- Besithia had asked it of him as well, should he gain future memories enough to become his own kind of monster. Who the hell decided he was suitable for this? He doesn't balk at taking a life if it's necessary, but he's not a killer by nature.]
