[Ardyn will be setting down the plates on this same little table, one by one, as he gives a considerate hum at the question.]
Oh, no, it was no different then. But that was due to a suppression of powers — the Starscourge sleeping soundly in my veins. Not a lack of them.
[Once set down, Ardyn is quiet for a brief second, but this pause is masked by the way he begins to shrug off his own coat. The heavy article of clothing is placed neatly on the back of one chair, which he will claim to be his once seated.]
But… after New Amsterdam, I returned to the exact point in which I remember leaving Eos. After bringing down Ifrit, and waiting for dear Noctis in the throne room. [The smile on his face twists rueful, something dark behind amber eyes, but then that same gaze flicks up to X’rhun and loses some of its cloudiness.] After that, well, not much time passed at all. I would say it was like my return to my star happened yesterday, and now here I am!
