[Noct lets out a frustrated noise though manages to hold in anything further. For Luna's sake - and for Ignis' - he won't rise to the bait, or so he tells himself. His ire ultimately channels its way into a scoff at the warning.]

I don't care that it's a trap! I'm not losing him, too. [He takes a breath.] Besides, it's not like I have a choice - Niflheim still has the Crystal, and for some stupid reason one of my ancestor's glaives is in Niflheim territory, too.

[ Number eleven, unless his count is totally off. And assuming that nothing's happened to it. Not that he really expects Ravus to care about that. Noct isn't even sure why he mentioned it at all except that it's yet one more thing he still needs to do weighing on his mind. It's definitely a lower priority than Ignis, as far as he's concerned. ]

So you're just going to blindly stumble into the waiting arms of the Empire, and hope for the best.

[Not that Ravus has much of a plan of his own besides exacting revenge against them, and against Ardyn, in whatever ways he can. He won't die a pawn of Niflheim, not after all his sister and mother suffered. But Luna died for Noctis, and so he's none too keen to watch him just charge into danger either, no longer with the Oracle to guide him.

He seems to consider something for a long moment, before coming to a decision.]

... I still have a promise to uphold, and that is this. [He summons Regis's glaive, and presents it to Noctis.] Were you successful in forging the covenant with the Hydraean, I would return this to you.

[Ravus might not have fully let go of his anger at Noctis just yet. But a promise was a promise, and he's done enough that, finally, Ravus has to accept that he's worthy of it.]
