Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Sentence Starters

“Forgive my delay. A bit of unforseen trouble.”

“Hello there! Hello! Good day to you.”

“Haven’t you heard, Princess? I’m the hero.”

“As long as I got strength in my body, I obey that order.”

“All those years captive because I failed you… Not again. Locked doors will seal your fate no longer.”

“I do not fear death. What I fear is doing nothing, and losing everything.”

“Perhaps magical walls and castle gates do not keep all things safe.”

“Have you find your thief?”

“I only came to tell you… You are no Kings.”

“My life is nothing. Giving a future to those who want to see it… Is everything.”

“To hell with your power!”

“If you wish to leave, go now.”

“Go easy on the magic, hero. You got people waiting for you back home.”

“Like you, we wish nothing more than to bring a swift end to this senseless war.”

“Tell me. How heavy a sentence does the crime of theft carry in your empire?”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. You know I ain’t got the stomach for this crap.”

“Just make sure you come back in one piece, alright?”

“…The cost is a life, his or hers ”

While Fíli ceased the squirming, but could barely help the POUT settling on his lips, Thorin all but mouthed a silent, yet stern no to his youngest nephew. Granted, he himself wasn’t quite sure where the boys had found a knife – or whether someone had EQUIPPED them with it – but whatever explanation there was, it would be best their mother never found out. The quiet, yet entirely OFFENDED ‘ow ow ow’ of her eldest seemed to bother Dís enough to not insist on an answer; and Thorin felt no need to PRESS the matter any further.

Naturally his sister wasn’t WRONG. The boys indeed were spoiled and wild; young in spirit and body and too curious for their own good. At Fíli’s age, Thorin had already broken three bones in play, and Frerin had not only brought home various pets he had collected in the wild, but also the SCRATCHES and bruises along with them. And Dís– well, little did the boys know that their mother had spent no small time of her childhood locked in a closet.

❝A tattoo❝, he began, settling in a chair opposite his sister and gesturing for Kíli to abandon the lonely spot at the end of the room, and sit on his knee instead, ❝is the mark of a WARRIOR of our kin.❝

‘Like Dwalin!’ Fíli happily interposed, swiftly adding a ‘and you!’ while SHEEPISHLY grinning at Thorin. Naturally both of them knew of the dark ink deeply embedded in their uncle’s skin – and Thorin couldn’t help but smile ever so lightly.

❝Yes, like Dwalin. It is a mark that may no simply be given, but needs to be EARNED by battles fought and won. But it is no mere sign of victory, it is much bigger than that to many of us. Ink may be ink, yet it sometimes may stand for the BLOOD spilled – for to defeat an enemy, one must kill him. The more tattoos a dwarf has, the more have fallen victim to his axe. Now, how many foes have you two slain, hm?❝

Kili slouched in his seat, his brown eyes widening with a grateful nod as his uncle stopped him from answering that question. Thorin and Fili were better at thinking ahead, imagining the consequences to whatever actions Kili might scheme up, and he had learned to trust their cues.

“Oh, shush,” Dis said to the boy in her lap, though her tone lost all heat of anger in a motherly need to comfort her son through even this small pain. “Little dwarrow do not cut their hair,” she told them both as Kili hurried over to climb up in Thorin’s lap. “A dwarrow’s hair is their pride, their honor, at least part of it, and until you’ve grown into your beards, you won’t be touching one hair on your heads, understood?”

She cast her eyes between both boys, reaching around to tip Fili’s chin up to meet his gaze.

“Yes, Amad,” Kili replied, tapping the toes of his boots together atop Thorin’s knees.

“Good, now listen to your uncle while I finish salvaging this mess.”

Dis settled in, her fingers combing gently as possible through Fili’s golden hair while Thorin spoke. She leaned in and pressed a forgiving kiss to Fili’s temple as his attention focussed on his uncle’s story--the one way to make at least one of her boys settle down and be still for a moment was for Thorin to speak.

“None, Uncle,” Kili answered, his brows furrowing thoughtfully.

“You see, dashtith,” she said, her words soft under the weight of something so dear to their people. “It is more than ink on skin, more than a appearance. They are memories, they are tribute, and honor to remember hard fought days.”

Her eyes rose to peer at the son in her brother’s lap, a soft, almost sad smile upon her face as she set the comb aside to embrace Fili.

“Your father had tattoos like your uncle and Dwalin,” she told them, her throat tightening. Dis searched for Thorin’s eyes, as if looking at him might shore her up against the pain of remembering her fallen husband. Even now it was difficult to speak of him, though she tried to for the sake of their sons. “Earned in battle fought alongside Thorin, and your Ugmil‘adad. To cut one’s hair and beard, and to mark our skin--they are heavy and important things. So, you must both promise that you will not do anything like this again--not in secret.”
