[There's apparently no stopping Ardyn if he wants to draw attention to little snippets of affection, but... whatever, he's the one in need of comfort right now. Or rather, they're on the same level. He may not be especially used to it, but this place has, if nothing else, given him some small appreciation for a solid hug when it's necessary. Today feels like one of those days.]
Are you gonna stay here, you think?
[His own new house feels emptier without Luna, but he's not alone- Prompto is there, with the Messengers and Kaname's mercat. Full of life, despite a gaping wound left behind in Luna's absence. Ardyn's house feels far too quiet now.]
[He hated the silence, but he didn’t wang to entertain alternatives. What did it matter after eons of solitude, anyway? This was nothing in comparison.]
I think...for now it’s better this way. Intruding on anyone else would be of little help.
[Much as he liked Emet-Selch and Era, or Regis and the rest of their family...the fact remained that his only realistic options had dearly loved relationships of their own, and being around that sounded comparable to a sword in his chest at the moment.]
[That sounds final enough that Noctis doesn't push it, though it's obvious he doesn't agree. He doesn't have to understand to respect someone's wishes.]
Okay, well... that doesn't mean anybody's gonna let you be a stranger, either. We won't leave you to sulk here all the time.
