Ash gave Noctis a sympathetic look as he tried to figure this out about his dad. He approached him, but stopped short of entering his personal space. "I know man. Look, I-" He sighed. This was one way to end up talking about things, wasn't it?
"You know I think the world of my dad. But I know he's not...he's not what many would call a good man. He was a saint to me, but to other people he's a terrible person. And I mean that; he's done things that hurt others, and I know that when I go back, he's still gonna hurt other people. That's how he makes money. At the end of the day, they're just...people. And people are never just good or bad, they're usually both, even when they don't intend to be."
Macavity brushed against his leg. He nodded, breathing out again. It really, really helped that both his Pokemon were here, and Noctis understood. "Like I said, I don't doubt the two of you are friends. And even if your dad made some questionable choices, I'm not gonna immediately say he was the devil incarnate. But...I just...right, I'll say this. Sometimes the way Ignis acts towards you, it doesn't feel like how a friend would act towards their friend. It's something else. I don't know how to describe it but like, it's worrying. I asked what he did as a kid and it all went back to you. Even when you were apart he was doing something that would help you, or something to do with becoming a steward."
