"You know I just realized something, you've never used Royal speaking, then again..."

"Exactly, it's way too dangerous right now"

"Besides that dad actually hated that form of speaking but did it because he had to"

"Didn't realize that, so...what now?"

"Not sure, guess we continue Hunts, though...actually there is a location that I think we should take care of now since we already know it's going to be needed at some point"

"Vesperpool?"

"Vesperpool, we need the mythril"

"Good point, there are probably other locations that need dealt with too now that I think about it"

"Indeed, in fact..."

Suddenly both Ignis and Noctis simply collapse unconscious worrying Gladio and Prompto not knowing that both of them were being given permission to bring in Aranea early because otherwise she would die as would Ravus, Lunafreya wasn't to know the truth yet but the Astrals promised that Noctis would know when the time was right to tell Luna about the time travel. Unfortunately there was a lot that they needed to be informed of regarding how to save their two allies and so were unconscious for two days, but finally they woke up to worried friends

"Okay, how long did they knock us out cold?"

"You two have been sleeping for two days now, and Iggy just got out of the hospital too"

"Sorry, not our choice believe me"

"Why couldn't they have waited until you were naturally asleep?"

"Uh...have you seen our sleep patterns lately?"

"Oh...good point"

"Exactly, now then we can still take care of a couple of other things first but when we next meet Aranea she's being told everything and then we have to rescue Ravus because he's part of saving Luna somehow, oh and keep in contact with Dave so that we know what Ardyn's doing"

"Good point, maybe with Ravus we might actually be able to figure things out"

"Good point, for now though mythril"

"And Aranea"

"Oh...you know I actually forgot she was there, you weren't with us Gladio so you didn't know"

"Got it, though she might not be since I think the timeline is starting to drift"

"Good point, well we'll figure it out later"

Ultimately they would meet Aranea at the Vesperpool and once they got the mythril they talked to her in private about what was going on and how Ravus also knew that they were time travelers

"I see...I'll do what I can to rescue him and then get back to you four, though why the Astrals want you to change things I have no idea"

"They have their reasons, but I'm glad we get the chance to save some people and change things that happened originally"

"I'm sure you do, well in the meantime I need to get going"

"Right, and Aranea...be careful around Ardyn, he can't know what you're aware of"

"Understood, wait if Ravus knows does his sister know too?"

"Not yet, it's not yet time but she'll know eventually, but don't say anything if you happen to run into her, Ravus knows not to do that also by the way"

"Understood, best get going"

"Right, be careful out there Aranea"

"Will do, and Specs...I think we might need to talk more later"

"Indeed, there's...there's much we have yet to actually tell you in regards to what happened originally"

With that the group parted ways with Aranea, two months went by with no word from their two Niflhiem allies and and so they took on a Hunt immediately after dealing with the reactor which wasn't easy but they also didn't need to ultimately call for backup either, though they considered it since the Hunt ultimately took them almost a solid week in total though part of that was finding what they were targeting in the first place

"Right, let's head back to Hammerhead, I think that's the easiest place to talk to Dave"

"No, he has to contact us not the other way around remember?"

"Oh...right I did sort of forget that little bit, and Iris is another contact point which I'm still not entirely happy about, but I see where you're coming from Noct"

"Hey, I'm going to ask Luna as well you know"

"True, but still having Iris is probably best, at least for now"

"Yeah, especially since we'll have things to do at Altissia before the ceremony"

"Good point"

"So...what now?"

"Now...now we go back to the Disc, there's something I want to do there, something...something that I don't think we should skip this time around"

"Noct?"

"You'll see"

And so they make a stop in Lestallum and then head to the Disc and the group was confused about what Noctis had bought in the city, because it wasn't just a bouquet of flowers that he'd bought, but also very unique items that only they understood the significance of in regards to the combination. They figured it had something to do with what had happened but what Noct's exact plan was, was beyond them but finally they were where the Royal Arm used to be and then Noctis started arranging the items in a certain order and that's when the group realized what was going on, though his words also helped in that understanding

"I'm sorry we failed in saving you the second time around and I'm sorry we didn't do something the first time around after Ramuh"

Noctis would stay there for three hours before Ignis finally had to force his hand and make Noctis leave

"Noct, we should go, it's getting late and you haven't eaten anything recently, not since..."

"Not since the Hunt and what we learned afterwords, very well"

While eating the entire group thought about what they had learned only hours earlier shortly after meeting up with Dave in Hammerhead via the radio
