That wouldn't be manslaughter, that would be murder.

Now calm down. I'm on my way. Won't be long.


[And he's right, it won't be long. Good thing Ardyn's already in the neighborhood; it's only a short while before he finds himself in front of Retrospec HQ. Peering in through the glass entrance doors, he tries to see if he can make out Jack and his chocobo friend.

Another text soon after:]
I think you're fated to wither and die in there, Jack. The doors remain locked on the outside as well.

You're not going to die in there. It takes approximately 3 weeks to starve to death, and you have a chicken with you, so you've even longer than that.

[Which is admittedly not very helpful, but, well, Ardyn is trying to figure out exactly how to proceed here. Is this the part where he calls the fire department?

He knocks on the glass door of the entrance. Hello in there. Come closer, and maybe you can hear him through it so he doesn't have to keep texting.]

[Ardyn leans in, and while he does feel a bit sorry for Jack being stuck in there, he can't quite hide the uneven grin on his face. He's ignoring the tiny little "kwehs" for now, and looks directly at the man instead.

He has to raise his voice a little, because Jack's is coming across somewhat muffled by the barrier between them.]
I told you, I already tried. [A hand comes up again, knuckles rapping on glass.] Haven't you tried breaking the glass yet?

i'm sorry

[Poor Jack. You are definitely being trolled by Ardyn right now. He isn't a cruel man, but the snappier tone does just kind of motivate him further.]

Well. I really don't know what to do then. [He straightens and shrugs in the most dramatic way possible. A hand comes up to fiddle at his scarf.]

It was good knowing you, a true pleasure. You're not going to really eat that "chocobo", are you?

you'd do the same to him

You think I care about the life of an [exceedingly cute goddammit] oversized fowl? It'd be for the best if you put it out of its misery now, considering it's been consigned to a fate of imprisonment within Retrospec headquarters.

[He grins, then clasps his fingers around the door handle. He doesn't pull just yet.]

But I'm feeling generous. On the count of three, you push as hard as you can, and I'll pull with the same amount of effort. Maybe the two of us can get this door open for you.

[As if Ardyn is ever going to argue against being dramatic. He lifts a brow, but-]

...Two.

[Whoop, and Ardyn just opens the door with only a modicum of effort, as easy as you please.

Which means the door was never really there long enough to stop all that momentum of Jack's. Ardyn figures this will either make for the most victorious exit ever, or the most embarrassing one.

He'd be pleased with either.]
