[Ardyn was blatantly caught off guard, unsure if he'd done something to upset her until she actually spoke; he very nearly fell over at the sudden shift, but managed to stay upright and put his arms around Yuuri in return.]
...You know that we love you too. I am ever grateful to have you with us, and I want you to have all the happiness you more than deserve.
[ But she's laughing even as she says it and pulls back just enough to dab at her eyes. She's beaming at him, her face bright even through her tears -- which don't seem to be going anywhere despite her attempts to wipe them away. ]
I went and made this so dramatic didn't I? [ a hiccupy laugh ] I'm sorry!
Right! Should we have something to drink as well? I'm sure there's some tea left somewhere but after yesterday we might just be clean out...
[ She falls into step with him as they go, still doing her best to dab at her eyes. Yesterday morning was a bad enough first impression -- she doesn't want any of their new arrivals to see her all teary-eyed too. ]
God, that's nearly thirty of us now. I can barely believe it.
I might still have a bit left in reserve, I'll have to check. Either way, that certainly was a rather unexpected surprise. I was entirely prepared to start making a cake once we got back, but running into Caulfield and Fukawa rather derailed things somewhat.
...Frankly, I'm just relieved Noctis didn't fight me in the parking lot.
...Admittedly, it was a little closer than I'd have liked it to be. If none of them had watched our season at all, I've no doubt I'd at least have a well-deserved black eye right about now.
Horses aren't spiracorns! I promise, one of the first things I'm going to do when all this is over is get you face-to-face with a real horse and then you won't have any choice but to admit we were telling the truth the whole time.
I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it. Between chocobos and spiracons I'm shuddering to think what other kinds of nonsense animals are running around on Eos.
We've been over catoblepas, and clearly you don't have malboros if you think spiracorn are strange. Which also likely counts out cactuars, mandrakes, and treants.
[is he counting off on his fingers while also rolling his eyes, ardyn why are you like this.]
In fact I'm willing to assume all the larger animal life we have is nonexistent, since combat ability doesn't sound common in your world. That counts out behemoths, Midgarsormr, and likely even dualhorns.
It makes you wonder what the turning point was... how exactly did Eos end up like it did, and not more like Earth? Especially when you consider all the similarities.
I'm sure people would be clamouring to study this kind of thing if they knew it was possible.

[He pressed a light kiss to Yuuri's head before straightening up, gesturing for her to follow him.]
Come on. It'd be a shame if this cake went to waste hidden in the Armiger.

...Honestly, I'm less surprised that Noctis didn't and more surprised that no one else stepped up to do it for him.

I swear on my life, we're going to Lucis for even one day just so I can find a spiracorn and show all of you I'm not the crazy one here.

[ Cold, Yuuri. ]
I have to wonder exactly what happened to your world to make it produce... things like that.

Nothing happened, it's always been like that. Even before the Starscourge, as far as I know.
