Yes, I can't say that I find much sympathy in me for the loss of his powers. I'd almost be inclined to say that he could use the humbling if his personality is anything to go by.

I suppose it will fall to us to cultivate allies for Noctis. He is slow to warm up to others, and should the need arise, our abilities are a bit better than those of our friend.

[He won't mention Noctis's rank. Let anyone listening believe that he is just trying to garner back up for his best friend.]
