Ardyn pulls a distinctly frustrated face at the mention of 'slapping a bandaid' over the mess. But that... he made? No, that's not- He could take the disease into himself, sure, but it didn't leave him as far as he knew. It didn't originate from him either. Just what was his brother putting in people's heads?

"Somnus. Who else? It's not exactly a secret our methods of handling this crisis differ." Ardyn takes more to tackling it personally and heals where he can; his brother, meanwhile, razes their own countryside and innocents for the 'greater good' of the collective. "I'm not taking advantage of anyone or anything either. Anyone infected is having a difficult time enough of it already."
