[ Ardyn looks surprised but in his head he's trying to think of all the people he might have potentially pissed off within the last seventy-two hours. ]
[ His eyes narrow. He knows this type very well. Not intimidated, and like to go looking for another opportunity to hurt Hythlodaeus just because they can.
He straightens slowly, no longer looming. ]
I couldn't care less if you frighten him a little. Heavens know he needs it to keep his behaviour in check. But if you harm him again in any way, I will find a way to throw you into the void between worlds and I will make sure you go there screaming.
[ In response he points a finger at Ardyn's chest. The other man will feel something...off. Like someone is squeezing the very core of him. Not his heart but whoever or whatever he IS. ]

[ He keeps his voice pleasant. For now. ]
no subject
Oh yes. It is hard for me to forget!

[ Ardyn knows from his own experience here already, and from talking with his Servant that there are limits in place. ]
no subject
I have enough.
no subject
I wonder if this was what he was referring to...? Does this mean you can see what lays inside me as well?
no subject
Yes. Such ugly darkness writhing in place of your soul. I can easily make it worse if I so choose.

And I don't feel like helping a man who relishes seeing others in pain.

But do rest assured I shall keep your warnings in mind.

[ But he says it dismissively, not really expecting that to eventuate. Mortals like Ardyn don't have any sense of honour, in his view. ]
no subject
[ it's not said with the tone that implies he expects kind words. ]

[ as if that were an unexpected result. ]

[ his tone is very glib. ]

Good.
[ And...just like that he turns on his heel and marches away. If Ardyn so much as breathes the wrong way near his friend... ]
