Continuation of previous post. This is after all four fights happened and a bit before Ardbert leaves Elpis. No, I haven't continued this because Dawntrail happened.

Transcription:

Ardbert “…Considering how…uh, bad this is going. Why are you still not summoning Apollo?”

Themis “…You know his name…?”

Ardbert “Why wouldn’t I? I told you I am somewhat related to him…”

Themis “…I guess that’s right but, he is not wont to let anyone speak his name…much like his most dear companion.”

Ardbert ‘He must mean Emet-Selch…’

Ardbert “I assumed you were close…”

Themis “I like to think we are, but I don’t think we’re as close as some people suspect…though…you’re a lot more open about this than I anticipated.”

Ardbert “I am curious. About him…and other people. That is all…so, back to my question, why aren’t you calling him yet?”

Themis “Hmm…I wonder…”

Themis “Because you’re here.”

Ardbert “…Quite confident in my abilities, aren’t ya…?”

Themis “That I am, my guiding star.”

Themis 'Fear not, for now I can take care of this, and you surely have someone else to go make a report to…'

Ardbert '…I do but…why do I feel like this is about to become weirdly complicated?’

Erichthonios “Ardbert, if I may have a word…?”

Ardbert “Huh? Oh. Yeah…what is the issue?”

Erichthonios “I wanted to thank you for believing in me, despite knowing nothing about me—and apologize if I have said something insulting at any moment…Themis just told me you…”

Ardbert “That I am related to Azem?”

Erichthonios “…I admit I…know him. A bit. He has been a presence in my life almost as constant as my father…which is, a lot I guess…but I can’t never form a clear image of what I think about him…”

Ardbert “You don’t need to give me explanations. And I won’t tell anyone what you said here, or your honest thoughts.”

Erichthonios “I appreciate that…and…I also wanted to ask…what do you make of Themis?”

Ardbert “I…”

Erichthonios “Before you answer…I just want to say. I do trust him, but…there’s something about his demeanor that makes me wonder…why he is even here.”

Ardbert “…”

Ardbert “…Whatever his reasons, I think, at the very least…he genuinely wants to help. And he wants to evade telling Lahabrea…until there’s no other recourse. That is to say…”

Ardbert “I guess…I trust him…to guide us both, to our own goals.”

Erichthonios “That sounds like you have some history with him.”

Ardbert “…Who knows.”

Ardbert “…Or rather, I believe I don’t have any experiences with Themis…so, I am getting to know him…and you as well. And I think I want to help, as much as possible.”

Ardbert “If the added benefit is getting to know more about you two, I can live with that.”

Ardbert ‘Meteor is never going to hear word about this. Absolutely never.’

Return to Elpis

So, this is it then. I am posting my Meteor and Ardbert gposes here and the first two sets will be the Elpis and Pandaemonium beginning I made before Dawntrail. Context up to here:

Ardbert is here and he is 'alive'

Meteor likes Ardbert but he hasn't said anything

Meteor and G'raha are in a relationship but G'raha is aware of Meteor's attraction to Ardbert and lowkey he also likes Ardbert

Ardbert likes Meteor but he hasn't realized it (yet)

Enjoy the silliness under the cut!

Transcription:

Nemjiji “The strange crystal we but recently discovered, for instance, defies our every conjecture—that is to say, you both are looking particularly worried about my words…”

Meteor “Oh? Is just…I…am a bit busy at the moment, you see? I…”

Ardbert “Hmm. We do have been asked to do a fair amount of tasks…”

Nemjiji “…Are you saying you cannot come help us…?”

Meteor “I am trying to think about it.”

Meteor “Besides, it’s just a crystal, right? Wrong. As soon as I get close to it it’ll become something world ending or calamity level. So I am trying to figure out how to fit it between already acting as a escort for the Void, a escort for my boyfriend and his organization, and Tataru’s lackey.”

Ardbert “So much for resting huh.”

Meteor “Is always like this…”

Ardbert “Well but that does not mean we both have to be present in all of your errands. I could go help the researchers and if I need your help I call for you.”

Meteor “Wait what…?”

Ardbert “So, Nemjiji was it? Would it be enough if I go with you and help with this little crystal of yours?”

Nemjiji “Ah. Oh. Yeah, that’d be a lot of help…we don’t know who else could possibly have any idea about what this is about and…”

Ardbert “Then I will go help you guys out, while our esteemed Warrior of Light stops making a fuss about missing time with his beloved.”

Nemjiji “…U-Understood…I-…uh, though I thought you— Nevermind. I will go inform Professor Claudien that you will be helping us, Ardbert!”

Meteor “Uh, I thought we were going to go around Etheirys together…?”

Ardbert “Oh, don’t start to pout. You want to be with G’raha, so we can do the same song and dance we did for the First. I take care of anything too annoying and you enjoy some free time.”

Meteor “…You’re not being serious right now…”

Ardbert “Haha. Just send my regards to your boyfriend, I will go see what this crystal is about.”

Meteor “…You’re being serious, Gods above… Just…take care. Please…”

???? “I must admit this place looks far more impressive once one has the time to take in the scenery.”

“Quite a shame he didn’t want to come…I can imagine just how many wonderful insights he could’ve brought forth just by standing next to me…”

“Though, were I to say these thoughts outloud mayhaps Emet-Selch himself would consider me a traitor, hah.”

??? “Huh? Is that a fluctuation in the aether…?”

“Someone is teleporting in the middle of the sky…?”

Ardbert “WHAT THE FUCK?!”

Ardbert “Oh no…”

???? “What in the—…?”

Both “Urgh…”

Ardbert “That…didn’t happen last time…”

Ardbert “Oh, wicked white—…are you alright?”

Ardbert “I am so sorry I just dropped out of nowhere…I didn’t hurt you I hope…?”

???? “My head…uh?”

???? “Are…you…? No, that can’t be but…then…you must be…”

???? “A falling star. Here to guide me…though I could’ve done without the collision.”

Ardbert “Oh you have got to be kidding me…”

Elidibus? “Do tell, are you alright? You seem to have gotten a bit pale…”

Ardbert “…Ah. Uhm. I am…good. Yeah.”

Elidibus? “…Is that so?”

Ardbert “Uh. Yeah I am…just, terribly sorry for having collided with you. And…uh…haha.”

Ardbert “Oh gods. Meteor you were so right…I shouldn’t have come…”
