I wasn’t raised by my father or mother either. My teacher was Chiron, a centaur who had taught many other heroes. You must have had someone like that, someone who was like a father or mother to you even if you weren’t blood related.
How many people lived in your kingdom?[ That will give him an idea of how... major Noctis is. ]
A centaur is half man, half horse! You don’t have centaurs in the world you’re from? What is your nurse’s name? Tell me about them! I’ll be sure to take care of you just as well as they did.
[ It's a question he actually has a ready answer for, giving the amount of reports he's had to read on the issue. ]
About 16 million.
Uh no we don't even have horses. I've looked them up though so ig I can do the same thing with centaurs to understand it better. All of the stuff from Earth is online.
Come on you can do better than that. If you like winning then try to be the best king you can be, which means thinking about your people first. That's obvious.
I've never met a great king. I even have my doubts that my own father was a better king than he was a hero. It's a hard job, being relied on by so many people. And men get easily blinded by greed. We call that hubris.
They've got powerful legs. I can still feel the blows from my training days....
Well I have, so I'm speaking from experience. I've heard of hubris and gotten a lot of lectures about getting power-hungry, never really worried about it. Different people have different problems ig.
You have a pure heart. My teacher always told me that many seek to take advantage of that. He still calls me naive, you know. I wonder what that would make you.
Are you telling me you’re impure? Perhaps I’ve gotten the wrong impression of you.
I’m as strong as I am today thanks to him. He was brutal at times, but he taught me a lot. He beat as much softness out of me as he could. He mentored many other great heroes like myself, who all carved their names in history and legend.

Ig my first nurse, maybe. What's a centaur?

I can draw you a picture.
no subject
And yeah if you want to, then I'll have multiple refs in case yours is different somehow.

My father’s kingdom was the size of an ant in comparison.
Well, imagine the torso of a man where the head of the horse should be.
no subject
[ god, Achilles ] It's not a competition or w/e, they're just different sizes.
Also ew.
no subject
Why do you say ew? Don't you think it's cool?
no subject
Cool to be half-animal? Maybe but that one sounds gross.
no subject
You haven't met my teacher! He's amazing. He can kick harder than any regular guy I know, that's for sure.
no subject
Okay? Do horses kick or something?

And this is the guy that raised you?
no subject
I wonder what that would make you.
He did.

Sounds kinda rough.

no subject
Sounds like a couple of my teachers but most of them didn't get too physical. If he mentored other heroes too though then he's a bigger deal.
no subject
He was an immortal, so his knowledge and wisdom was vast. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.
Do you have anyone training you now?
no subject
I've learned a lot in the field and from Gladio. Are you talking about here?
no subject
You should continue your training. Since I learned from the best, wouldn’t you say that if I taught you, that knowledge would get imparted on you?
no subject
Ig you're saying you are. If you had a few moves to show me I'm not gonna say no.
no subject
I'm not gonna go easy on you. If you agree to be trained by me, you better listen and keep up with your regime.
no subject
Seriously? You're actually a big deal......
Slow down I don't need a regime, just new moves and spars.
no subject
Now that you're on Earth, you can probably find the book telling the story I was made a legend for. I'm a big deal.
Come on. Even I have to train everyday to make sure I stay in top form.
