"Agreed, as we get further along we might all have areas of struggle"
"Altissia?"
"Indeed"
"By the way, we need to talk about something"
"What is it Prompto?"
"So...disguises or not you three?"
"Good question, I mean we do have those alternative identities that we told Regis, Clarus and Cor however..."
"Yeah, that's only been used once and your actual description was used, now..."
"Indeed"
"We'll make further discussions either once we're actually on our way to Lestallum or once we get there"
"Right, for now though I guess we're going to simply do what needs done?"
"Exactly"
"This is going to get interesting"
"No kidding"
"Still, we might not considering we've already met Ardyn"
"Oh...good point, we'll figure things out, so Lestallum?"
"No, there's something we need to do first, something I feel is needed"
"Oh?"
"Yeah, you'll see when we get there, and I'm not talking about more family tombs seeing as how I already have the Royal Arms"
"You're being mysterious today Noct"
"Yeah Gladio I am, but I have my reasons, by the way, once we get to Lestallum I need more on the story behind Vyv"
"We know, you know he came back shortly before you did and you also know getting closure on Cor was needed since Vyv was still so fresh a loss but you don't know the circumstances behind us losing Vyv for so long"
"Or how he took the fact that he was being watched so carefully for so long"
"So...what are we going to do about Ardyn?"
"That I don't know seeing as how we do need him for the covenant with Titan"
"Oh...you lost those in the time travel?"
"Yes, they managed to save the Armiger but unfortunately I need to reforge that covenant"
"How come?"
"Well...according to Bahamut, what they did took a lot of their own power, and while what happened in the previous timeline was wiped out, between using that much power to send us back in time with the Armiger and them being so strong in the first place it was safer that I simply reforge those covenants"
"Understood, so what about when the Empire deals with Titan and Ardyn offers us a ride?"
"Same as last time, don't trust him but get on board because we have no other option"
"Guess we'll have no other choice, guess that also means we need him for the disc"
"Indeed"
"This is going to be hard for us, no disguise, dealing with Vyv, and then dealing with Ardyn"
"Yep, but first like I said, there's something I feel needs to be done first"
And so three hours later the group finds out what Noctis needed to do, he told Dave about the group and their identities
"Why are you telling me about this your Highness?"
"I need you to know so that if something happens during the journey you know what's coming, plus if we need to get in contact with you or any other Hunter it's better that you know who you're actually dealing with so that you understand the seriousness of the request"
"Understood, wait why would you contacting me be a serious request?"
"Because we're planning on dealing with the Empire on our own, but we also have to do Hunts to survive, that means being that we have access to magic, have much bigger targets in mind and also on our backs I'm afraid, and have a few other things going on that I can't explain, if we ever call for backup on a Hunt or even on one of our missions which we're going to avoid doing, it means we're in trouble that we can't handle on our own which should scare you...a lot"
"Understood, if you call I'll get my best men and come along personally then"
"Thank you and...I think you should prepare for the worst to happen if we fail in a special mission"
"What exactly are you thinking about?"
"Daemons out regularly, and being stronger than what they are now"
"Understood, but wait why would daemons...you know what never mind I don't think I want to know"
"No, you really don't, oh and we might contact you through an intermediary through necessity, but they don't know that about themselves yet"
"Let me know who it is once they know themselves?"
"Exactly, might have more than one actually depending on how...things go in the future"
"Why are you so hesitant Prince Noctis?"
"You'll find out in the future, now then we're heading to Lestallum but I want you if possible to keep an eye on this area here, and also where a Royal tomb is being kept, I wouldn't put it past the Empire to steal from my family tombs and besides, with the hunt on for us the Empire might do something stupid and anger the people which we do not need at the moment"
"Recklessness and rookies going after Hunts?"
"Exactly"
"I'll keep an eye out for trouble then"
Noctis returns to the Regalia seeing as how he had gone to Dave alone per his order and once back on the road Ignis speaks up
