[Another long pause. Because it doesn't make sense to him- Knowing that the people you care about and trust may have had information and not seeking it out, instead hiding away from both support and information to wrestle with facts he likely had no context for.
But then again, emotions aren't reasonable things.]
I learned only shortly before yourself. My intention had been to speak with you and Prompto about it, but then there was the message in regards to more arrivals.
[It's true, at least. And he doesn't have much more information himself- only what Aranea was able to confirm and add on.]
But I understand if your feelings didn't care what the facts were, or else you would have sought them out.
I mean it doesn't matter what the details were. It does, but it doesn't. I trust you guys, so w/e the reasons were and w/e the circumstances were, you guys would've always been doing what you thought was best for me and the group, right? You don't have to explain.
[ It's far wordier than he's wont to be, but a hard-earned lesson is one he wants to reiterate. They've had tests in the past -- big ones, recently -- but her death hit so damn hard. It still is; all he can hear in his head is Ardyn's almost cheerful tone and the way he'd relished in delivering the news. ]
I'm gonna see if Prompto's free after his shift tomorrow if that's cool.

[It still doesn't feel settled-- but he'll respect it. There's no need to explain everything, especially if things are in the process of healing now.]
Of course. I'll be available any time you need.
