[ pontification aside, noctis seems to be listening to edgeworth seriously, if nothing else. sure, his eyes get a bit glazed over at the end, but the subject matter is somewhat dear to his heart so it's minimal.
instead he shakes his head. ]
You're fine. It's important to you, right? Pontificate away. I agree, for the record. Just because you fail doesn't mean you should give up... even if continuing is a little hard after that.
[ he's been guilty of just giving up, in a sense, after things went to shit. but he has a lot of guilt about people sacrificing themselves for him. about his father getting him to safety before his people, not accepting that he was more important because of the means of his birth.
he doesn't tell edgeworth that, but there's a little furrow of his brow as he thinks over that before he realizes they're talking about him again. ]
Ah - yeah. It's not a perfect solution but... it's what my father did before me, so he wanted to make sure I had that experience as well. It was.. eye opening.
[ his expression turns a little grim. he's not sure how to explain that a lot of what he learned came after his father died, after his crown city fell to ruins, and he felt like a prince of not much at all. ]
Anyway, uh, that's why I wanna help people here. Back home we're involved in a war so, I guess I can relate to needing to help others like the King of Camelot must have to.
ps i keep laughing at his bailiff post and all the xv's popping in
