[ In Ardyn's experience, people like that were excessively dull. There was no greater scope to their single-mindedness. Whatever the great-grandson had inherited through his soul from Emet-Selch, it hadn't been expressed well. The undying conviction to Zodiark at least had merit, and the sad tale of a world sundered into fourteen pieces, with you one as the only remaining complete beings, at least gave a noble sort of tragedy to the whole thing.
Just charging down target after target to find something to challenge was all but animal, like a rutting male looking for rival suitors to better display his tusks.

Quite so. I even had to come back from my feigned death to take the reins back from my poor grandson. And Zenos could not even manage not to die before his time, short as that was anyway. The last I saw of him was merely his corpse, borrowed by one of my colleagues.
What a terribly discourteous colleague you had! [ Presumably there had been no love lost there; a mad dog wasn't mourned when it was put down, blood relative or not. ] The polite thing to have done would have been at least give you some kind of downpayment for your work in making the vessel.
