charlottedabookworm: “Nyx?” A figure

“Nyx?” A figure out of his nightmares asks, and Nyx is just so done.
“You know what? No. Just, no.” With that, he spun on his heel - abandoning his post and his shift without a second thought. He wasn’t dealing with this; they could reprimand him all they wanted later, but he was not dealing with this.
No.
Not ever.
“Son?”
He flinched, though whether it was from the word or the step forward that the spectral king had taken, Nyx didn’t really know. Nor did he honestly care. Still, he didn’t hesitate for more than a fraction of a second before he continued towards the nearest escape route, ignoring the confusion of the room and espeically that of the man that he had once called father.
Fuck this noise. Fuck the fucking shit out of this noise.
Nyx refused to deal with this.
“Ulric! Where are you going?!”
To my dad, he doens’t say. “As far away from this fucking city - this city built on the bones of the betrayed - as I can bloody well get! I’m out.” He yelled back, and he still refused to turn around.
“Ulric!” The King’s Shield barked again as Nyx finally reached the doors.
“I’m going on holiday! Call me when the bastard disappears if I still have a job!”
And with that he left, leaving stunned silence in his wake.

This is. A very rational response to the entire situation, to be honest. Nyx is Not Having With This, and you know, he doesn’t have to put up with this shit. His one-time father is still literally the stuff of nightmares, and he is not going to interact with the father who killed him. (And how dare, how dare that man call him ‘son’ after what he did. He murdered him. He murdered his brother. He murdered his son.)
And - oh boy. Regis et al are going to definitely be intrigued by how 1) A Lucii - and the Founder King, for that matter - took specific interest in a glaive who seemed to know him. And who, for that matter, broke protocol etc in a Very Big, extremely unprecedented way rather then put up with him - and oh, the way Nyx has been driven to his last nerve, enough to insult Insomnia like that? It would surprise everyone listening. Because Nyx is giving no fucks and taking no prisoners, and he is not putting up with Somnus, he refuses.
…huh. For that matter, I wonder if Somnus realizes that Ardyn has pretty much literally adopted Nyx in every sense of the word? That Ardyn is legitimately Nyx’s father now, in a sense - well, either way, the fallout would/will be lovely, lovely, lovely!
