Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
After Typhon's confrontation, he returned to look after his two moms. I portaled back to my room. Closing my eyes to relax was the first thing I did. The second was having them immediately shoot open. An eerie feeling swept over me as I spun around. Floyd was there, and I immediately grabbed him by his face. Lifting him in the air, part of me considered killing him given his ability to somehow get behind me.
Studying him as my head shifted back and forth, there were a few things I noticed. First, he didn't even move. Floyd was dangling in my grasp by his face. This didn't seem to bother him as he just hung there limply. My eyes found one of his watching me through my fingers. His iris appeared to be pink, but as I brought him closer, it appeared to be a trick of the light. Then again, it felt like this had happened before.
"Are you trying to make me kill you?"
"Where's Ayda?" Floyd immediately responded.
That stumped me as I kept him locked in my grasp. "Go home, Floyd."
Holding up my hand to show the ring, I answered. "Your other 'father', as you call us, asked me to spare him. Should've left the ring here."
"Yet you still haven't taken it off." She quickly pointed out as she gestured to it.
"Unfortunately, I need this ring. Some of what Aydan hinted at has me concerned." I leaned to the side of my chair. "Really wish I could get a straight answer from someone."
"You say that, but you do the same thing. Part of me is surprised you didn't just kill Rudnurth anyway." She said with a small gesture towards me.
"Yeah, well, the thought crossed my mind. That sick fuck definitely deserves it. As for my actions that mirror others, there is a clear difference. I can actually do something with the information."
Marina didn't look very impressed. "I suppose. Yet, the way you lord it over others at times would be frustrating. If you do not give trust, I would not expect any in return."
I frowned at that as I crossed my arms. "Tell me, Marina, what do you think would happen if I told people where I came from?" One of my brows cocked as I asked my question. "How well do you think people would take it? Have you considered the ramifications of revealing such information?" Then I shrugged. "Besides, quite a few secrets of mine were revealed during our little journey to your lake."
She shook her head, as she cocked an eyebrow. "Do you really think that counts? It was revealed out of necessity. Not trust."
"That's about as good as many of these people are gonna get. Besides, still worried about others finding out and using that against Elincia and Arceana. If they die, that's a lot of extra work for me that I don't want to deal with."
"Then what are your plans moving forward. You spoke to us about giving us specific areas to explore when we go out to enjoy the world. We've been assuming that the locations you've selected are for a reason."
