So he truly could not remember anything of Archanea-- Of what little shared history they have. That much was clear, and truth be told the revelation stings. While as Camus, Zeke had not yielded and remained loyal to his kingdom until what they thought was the end, the Altean prince had tried so hard to convince him to join their side... And all for naught. Marth had reported back to Princess Nyna with such sorrow, it had threatened to swallow them whole...
And yet, here he stands before her. ... Well, it’s more like sitting down. They’re both being attended to after a long, grueling battle, and the eldest sister had taken the opportunity to test the waters of Camus’ -- No, Zeke’s -- memory. Est would be too excitable and bombard the poor man with questions, and Catria would be far too blunt, leaving room to potentially overwhelm him with the reality of what he once was... And the princess he left behind.
Alm had warned them about this when the armies joined forces, yes, but still Palla had gotten up the nerve to ask.
“Oh, dear-- I’m sorry, Zeke." She has to stop herself from using his true name. "It must be terribly insensitive of me, prying when your memories are jumbled at best... And at a time like this, too. Please, forgive me-- I suppose I grew a little curious. Though faded, it’s a rather telling scar. I was wondering whether you might have rediscovered the story behind it.”
