Perhaps. But you cannot fault them for taking advantage of opportunity and circumstance. You have become a well-known name in recent months...

Pornographic threads, huh? You only live once, right? Mine throws me at ones all the time.

[He's not bothered to be honest. The more porn, the better in his case.]

Really Ignis? I should drop my hat to you for being so brave. It begs belief to know that you'd actually participate in certain....activities.

[And this is bad. Why was he known for anyway? He hasn't done anything ~~yet just you wait~~]

Care to enlighten me, lady? I wasn't aware about this new reputation I have earned lately.

[Well, Ignis is rather peaceful when it comes to these things. And private too.]

Certainly, you only live once. Still, I'm not sure this level of exposure is adequate.

[And look how far the news went!]

Appreciated. Although, with all due respect to you, I don't belong to any activities. And I have no plans on doing so.

Should I ever decide to engage in any activity, it would be in private.

Of course you don't. A refined man such as yourself is beyond sordid activities such as that, hm?

[He's being a judging asshole. Something he's good at.]

Yet, I'm sure your interest is piqued at the degradation that others do to one another. After all, you're only human.

[Ignis pushes his glasses, hiding his face behind the hand as a hint of shame sparks at the Chancellor's words. Of course he was curious--who wasn't at some point? Much more now that the marriage's burden had been postponed and he, finally, had some time for himself.]

[Still, there was no use in lying. He had always been bad at it anyway.]

I'm not sure the definition is "degradation", but more of a interest in improving my personal life by adding some action to my intimacy. With a partner, to be more specific. As you said, I am, indeed, only human too, therefore my craves belong to such.

[Satisfied? He's already spilled the beans for you.]

[Had he touched a nerve in the younger man? He seemed....ruffled. A gleeful smile covered the Chancellor's face at the reaction he had provoked.]

Forgive me for using such coarse language regarding such an intimate subject. I am just speaking in a general term for the pleasures of the flesh that we all crave.

[He just enjoyed poking at other people's business and seeing others squirm from time to time.]

Might I ask what such action you seek to improve your intimacy, Ignis?

Edited 2017-02-16 15:17 (UTC)

[Was this real life? Arms crossed, Ignis shoots back the darts.]

I will gladly accept your apology for your coarsed language, but i cannot accept you prying onto my personal matters. What I do is for me and myself only. And probably who I choose to spend my spare time with. Otherwhise, this matter is none of your business, and I hope you understand I don't take any interest on what you do in the privacy of your room, too.

Frankly, I never took you for someone this intrusive, Chancellor. I must say I am surprised you take so much interest in people's life.

[The arms crossed. The sharp words. Ardyn just smiles slowly. Oh, he's loving this.]

My, my. Aren't you a prickly young man? I didn't mean to touch a nerve if I did accidentally step on one. I only seek to talk man to man regarding such matters. We all after all only human.

[He's an intrusive, cocky bastard. No qualms about it. So sorry, Ignis.]

Oh, this isn't intrusive, trust me. I always take interest in people's lives, dear Ignis. The truth, the lies, the scandal and the passion. Such fun.

Seeking for a regular talk, bringing as subject my own privacy? Can't help but think is a rather… interesting choice of conversation topic. I can only assume you would feel equally invaded should your privacy be the subject instead.

[And Ignis can tell Ardyn is enjoying himself with their conversation, as it has been carried both smoothly and sharply between the two men. Still, it doesn't mean he is letting in into the juicy details though. Chancellor Ardyn Izunia is the least person Ignis wants into his life anyway.]

Really? Well, such interest you mention, in my book, is best known as gossiping. And here I was thinking highly of you, Chancellor.

Oh, but it's far more than just idol gossip. I did not become Imperial Chancellor for listening to idol chit chat of others. No, I listen. Whether it be idol talk or important dialogue, I'm the man who listens to everything.

[He enjoyed gossip because he made it his business to delve into people's lives. Explore their dreams and wants. He was manipulative and had a habit of persuasion too.]

All the great poets and writers of this world have to absorb the good, bad and ugly to achieve results. I'm curious, what do you think of me, Ignis? For I take you as a highly intelligent man.

[Flattery will get you nowhere, Ardyn.]

Edited 2017-02-16 16:26 (UTC)

Certainly. For plain gossip you should have turned into journalism and yellow journalism, maybe. But I can tell you can do so much more than that.

[Indeed he thinks that. Which is also the reason why he has decided not to open up completely to him. Something in the back of his head is telling not to allow that, that Ardyn wasn't to be trusted. And Ignis was resolved into following that hunch.]

[The following inquiry gets Ignis quickly elaborating a good answer. He didn't like the guy, yet he still owed him some respect as for the charge he wielded. Ignis speaks slowly, careful of every word he speaks.]

Well… to me, you are a most capable, clever man, someone who knows exactly what is threading within almost frightnenly good. You truly do justice to your name, as people trusts you in the end of the day. And still, as admirable as you are, I can't find myself trusting you.

Indeed. But, my path ventured further than that and for that I am grateful.

[Being Imperial Chancellor had it's perks. He could sneak around at will watching, waiting and listening. Giving advice when the right time struck.]

Thank you. Your compliments warm my heart, Ignis. I am glad we are on an equal footing with one another, even though trust between us is a little shaky at the moment. Alas, I hope that someday soon you will be able to put aside your little prejudices against me and trust me.

[Trust him? Watch out, Ignis. This guy is a dangerous player.]

I know I shouldn't pry but I can't help it at times. Hm, let me see. Who has taken your fancy? Is it a young, beautiful woman? Or, perhaps, a man? I, myself, would not turn away the attentions of either sex, since company is something to be treasured in such turbulent times.

Maybe I will trust you… someday. In the distant future.

[Read it as never. Ignis, as someone who has been slightly involved in Insomnia's polithical matters, has the experience of knowing who to trust and who don't. And unfortunately, as how things unfold in the Crow city after their departure, you are one of the least people he would even dare to trust, as he suspects you played a major role in there.]

[Once again daring to pry into his personal matters? So stubborn. But Ignis is determined on keeping it to himself.]

Indeed, someone has taken my fancy. Fortunately, someone that I know for years, yet I much rather their identity remain a secret, for I respect their privacy too.

[Meaning don't you dare spy on him.]

Exposure? It's just a bit of fun. Sex should be fun and not serious, unless you're into that.

[In the distant future? When will that be?]

Then they are a very lucky person to have you around to cook for them and to look after them.

[Why yes, he does know you're the camp cook. Word gets around you know.]

I would never dream of prying into your private life like that, Ignis. Do not take me for a common spy.

[He chuckled gently at that before offering the other man a curious glance. Wasn't he a protective one?]

[ Word gets around, Scientia ~~and apparently so do the Retainers~~ ]

A cooking fiend with a promising posterior and charming scowl, I believe, is the common consensus.

I'd love to hear more about these clever ideas.
