[ Sorry, Nyx. She can't help herself; she's felt useless these last few months and being able to help a friend and comrade from home? Yeah, she's can't be stopped.

She doesn't bother to explain because she won't need to; and sure enough he seems to understand what she's going for here. She wishes her magic were at full power, but alas... this will have to do for now. ]

Only for a certain kind, really.

[ His smile is returned in turn, but the conversation becomes far more solemn and for good reason. It's time to come clean about her fate. ]

I am here because that was my destiny. To forge covenants for the king, it requires a sacrifice. Specifically, the life of the Oracle. By the time I got to Altissia, my time on our star was very limited... Ardyn Izunia took it upon himself to finish me off before the covenants could.
