003- [video/action] - a fool's errand
Who: Ardyn and YOU!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS RED FISH
When: Now
[The feed snaps on to show a rather annoyed Chancellor of Niflheim ripping down several posters containing rather nasty rumours about himself.]
I suppose this is some kind of joke? An amusing attempt to gain ratings for this sordid show I presume? Someone, or person's unknown, have been writing some rather sordid rumours about myself. Here, let me read you one of them:
"Ardyn Izunia is a MAGICAL GIRL called SAILOR ARDYN. He has the ABILITY of DUMPSTER DIVING. He wears a pink skirt that comes above his knees-"
Dare I read anymore of this filth? If anyone is responsible for this aboard any of these ships then I may have to come and have a little chat with you. Of course, this could be sent from our masters, the Atroma. I can assure you of this; the ratings will not be raised because of this.
[He's angry, ashamed and downright embarrassed. Not a good cocktail. He's looking at you, Noctis. Did you place these rumours aboard his ship? Ignis? Do you hate him so much to do this? Lady Lunafreya, would you even dare?]
I'm not laughing and there is no reason why any of you should be either.

[He didn't get it. Or, he was finding this conversation entirely too awkward.]
No, I don't. Strange thing is I've never felt the desire to shave them. As for being insecure, I believe you have me all wrong, my lady. You are finding this far too amusing. Body hair on men is found attractive by the ladies; not men shaving their hair off.
no subject
[ The fact that she can disturb him so easily really IS amusing, but she's being good and keeping it off of her face... for now. Even as he calls her out for it, she merely cants her head to the side. ]
Not all women find body hair attractive, Chancellor. At least from what I have read. So you cannot say all women enjoy it. As for finding this amusing... I've no idea what you are talking about.
[ ...Yes she does. ]
no subject
[Why yes, he is using that card. The one where he's saying you're a girl, so you have no idea about manly things. He's so mature.]
They don't? Odd. All the ones I've met have loved my stubble and body hair.
[TMI? Perhaps. This man has no shame at times.]
Do you enjoy it?
no subject
[ Go for it. We can have a verbal cat fight if that's what you really want, Ardyn. ]
Times have changed, you know. As for myself...
[ Ew gross man. She's going to pretend SHE DIDN'T HEAR THAT. She's not even sure if she should be offended by his question, but she brushes it off with a small smile. ]
I have only ever had eyes for one man. Need I say more?
[ Noctis is manly enough he can pull off any look, she thinks. Eat that, Chancellor. ]
no subject
Of course. Dear Prince Noctis. How could I have forgotten where your heart lies, deep within the prince of Lucis. How romantic.
[Sarcasm? Yes. Something he's good at and something he's in the mood for, since insults are now the only thing he has to use against his embarrassment.]
Noct is woefully lacking in manly features though just being a mere boy.
no subject
Well, we were to be married. Should a woman not remain faithful to the man she's to call her husband? Ah... you would not know about that subject, though. Forgive me.
[ Ardyn: forever alone. ]
Noctis is far more of a man than you could ever hope to be, Chancellor. He is, by far, the most handsome, most intelligent, most honest man I have ever met. He trumps you in spades. You cannot hold a candle to my prince.
no subject
You would think that, as you were born to be his bride whether you liked it or not. Your path was already set as soon as you were free of your mother's womb. A path set to marry the fair Prince Noctis and reunite the kingdoms of Tenebrae and Lucis.
[Ignore him, Luna. He's just a very bitter old man.]
I cannot hold a candle? Hm, interesting. Perhaps I could hold a sword instead? A glint of a cold blade against your lover's handsome neck? Oh, poor prince.
no subject
I would choose no other fate. But it is because of you that path was put in front of not only myself, but Noctis as well. Just as it is because of you that path was erased forever. It was nothing more than a farce, but that is the story of your life is it not?
[ Oh, it's on. Now her eyes narrow, and the way she takes in a sharp, deep breath should be enough to signal she's going to start losing her temper again. ]
You act as if I would allow you to harm a hair on his head. You would not dare, and if you did, I can assure you you would wish for your immortality back... more than you probably already do.
