Now, there is one thing you know: that there have only been two people in your life who have loved you. The second is Terence, a better man than you have ever deserved, and whose youth you greedily enjoyed.
But the first is your father, the only family have ever had. Your father, who kept you from the streets of Oriflamme, took you in though you were not of his wife, and raised you as a prince of Sanbreque.
And there is your father, your lance through his chest.
All at once your heart cracks, twenty-eight years of grief, pain, love and loneliness flooding your veins like poison and corroding away the tight control with which you keep Bahamut's power in check.
[ well, turning into a fucking dragon is pretty!!!! intense!! he's lacking context for all of this, but it's not hard to pick up the gist of what happened. royal politics, plotting, kings losing sight of the people they meant to protect -- someone who looks like a young kid pulling the strings ]
[ then, dion losing control. unleashing his pent up fury on the people he was trying to help ]
[ for his part, guy watches this very conveniently timed memeshare with a similarly passive expression to when his own memeshare played. ]
... I see. So that's what happened.
You were containing that power and rage inside of you the whole time?

[ Yeah, let's just memshare this.
But the first is your father, the only family have ever had. Your father, who kept you from the streets of Oriflamme, took you in though you were not of his wife, and raised you as a prince of Sanbreque.
And there is your father, your lance through his chest.
"... Kinslayer."
All at once your heart cracks, twenty-eight years of grief, pain, love and loneliness flooding your veins like poison and corroding away the tight control with which you keep Bahamut's power in check.
Tonight, the eikon wins the battle of wills, and the great wyrm rises over the city of Twinside.
The sight of the city ablaze fades first, but the sounds of the people screaming linger a moment longer. ]

Bahamut's power has been with me my entire life.
My anger... I was unaware of how much rage I truly carried until that moment, I suppose.

Looks like that kid was the one pulling the strings, trying to get you to snap. Am I wrong?
no subject
Yes... Olivier was little more than a puppet himself, unfortunately. Of the god that the other rebels and I will soon face.

[ he's quiet for a little ]
So you overcame your anger, in the end? You got control of Bahamut's power?

Well, there's still time to work on it, even if you don't have the power anymore. Your anger, I mean. Keep it better under control.
