Mithrun doesn't respond, at first - halfway taking in the new information, halfway confirming the tracks he's found. He straightens, gesturing for Ardyn to follow him.

He also says: "If 'fate' was just making excuses for the decisions of the gods, what's the point in speaking of what others were 'meant' to be caught in? Come on."

Pedantic? Maybe so, but when has that stopped him. Also, rude to just kind of demand Ardyn follow him while he's being pedantic? Definitely, but that also will not stop him.

"Anyway, it's no surprise, then, that they would prefer you'd persisted."
