god i forget how much i love louis and then i start writing him and i'm like. what a GOOD antagonist. the antagonist of all time, actually!!

[creedfought]

Right then, something in Louis snaps.

"Similarities? With you?" Louis laughs, a bitter and cold thing as his mouth twists into a sneer at the thought. Normally, he would not be so... quick to lash out, and a part of him is very much aware at how much control he's lost over himself already, to be showing so much emotion so openly. But what does it matter, now? After all, he has failed. There is no coming back, no victory to be had anymore.

"Don't compare yourself to me so easily." With that look on your face, as if you have the right, he thinks. The anger in Louis' voice surprises even himself, and he knows he's being hypocritical - in many ways, the two of them are far more alike than he would ever wish to admit. But everything is spilling out now, all the furies and frustrations Louis has held in his heart that he never had the chance to express, bubbling up inside him until he can't hold them back at all.

"You gave up! After all your grand promises, despite your lofty ideals... it meant nothing to you in the end, did it!?" And Louis had believed in him! Had looked up to him, once. For the King to give up the way he did, standing by so passively despite the power he held at his fingertips for so many years, even turning on Louis and believing Forden's word over his... How could he ever forgive that...!?

He remembers a brief moment from before, when he'd sat on the throne - just a moment, where Louis had felt pity for that long-lost King. How could he have ever held onto hope after knowing so intimately the weakness of his people, as they cast their anxieties onto him day after day? ...But there is no pity to be found in him now - all he can feel is a rage so burning that it would boil them both alive, because he has nothing else to hold onto anymore.

"Say what you want about me! You must see me as a monster like the rest of them, I'm sure, but at least I never stopped fighting. In the end, I never became you!"

Fiction OR reality... it matters not, for they BOTH come with their mysteries.

Though PLEASED with the outcome -- that his son, in the end, had succeeded despite all manner of prejudice, hardships, and doubts -- More is nothing if not humble and cordial. He acknowledges his own part in this, recognizes his wrongdoings and shortcomings. Recognizes his cowardice and his lack of WILL to see his ideals come to fruition. In some ways, he and Louis are the same, and mayhap it is something he realized far too late.

" Predicted? As prideful as I am of my ability to weave a story, this is NOT the ending I was expecting, " he whispers, smile small, STRAINED. Had Louis witnessed the way he had begged his own son to turn his BACK on a world in need, merely so he may be safe and FINALLY live a peaceful life without risk of giving up his own for the sake of it, this unexpected EXCHANGE of theirs surely would be going a lot differently. " I know not why I am here, truth be told. Here, with you, when the conclusion we both deserved had long since been written. There is no place for us in this new world. "

Yet, still, they seem to linger on the very outskirts of it, trapped in some status of limbo. It utterly CONFOUNDS the ex king, but entices and intrigues him all the same.

More takes a step closer, the clack of sharp heels echoing throughout their shared space. Regards Louis with a sense of PITY that he knows the fallen aspiring ruler shall surely despise to see, but he cannot help it. He feels for the misguided madman, to some extent. Understands WHY he came to be this way, and sympathizes with it all the same.

" Perhaps it is our similarities that have brought us together... or, some presently undetermined conflict betwixt one another that we must resolve. The answer eludes me as much as it does you. " He cocks his head to the side, silently observing for a spell longer.

" ... so, tell me, how you wish to go about this, Louis. Will you fight me, too? Attempt to eradicate me, when we have BOTH been spent of our power? Or will you finally lay bare your heart so, perhaps, you may achieve the closure you deserve, as well, before we pass on? "

IF they are to pass on, that is.

Which Flower Represents You?

Bittersweet, Truth.

as with the name, much of what you say is bittersweet. you don't feel a need to sugarcoat things, seeing it as far better to lay out all the facts, whatever they may be, rather than to hide things for the sake of protecting feelings. while it is good to be honest, take care you don't become cruel in your pursuit of truths.

Louis... must be caught in the throes of an awful, all-consuming delusion.

That's the only possible explanation that makes sense. Because for him to be seeing the man before him now... the one who's silhouette is unmistakable as anyone else, yet who sits before him as familiar as if he'd been plucked straight out of Louis' memory... it should be impossible. In fact, maybe it's all been a delusion - that final battle, turning into a human, his defeat at the hands of that prince-

-All of it. Because there's no way he can accept it as his reality.

...But denial is just another mark of a weak man, and deep down, Louis must know that this has all been no dream or illusion. He knows it, but... he still can't accept it. It doesn't feel real. And if this man is a remnant of a distant memory, appearing before him at the moment of his death, then gods, he thinks- just let it end already.

"...Why are you here?" Louis asks almost without thinking. The prideful, disdainful tone of his voice hasn't quite left him yet, and though there's a hint of desperation behind it, it's almost entirely imperceptible. Why, then, does he feel like something inside him is about to burst?

"Are you here to tell me... that in the end, everything went as you predicted...?"

[creedfought]

okay i am going back to the final confrontation with louis so i can overthink every line of dialogue for the next hour at least. i am so excited you guys >:)

[creedfought]

thinking about louis' mindset... i have to ramble out loud to get my thoughts in order so apologies if this post is a mess, but!

i wonder about why he believes a world that judges an individual based on strength is any better/fairer than one that judges based on tribe? like to some extent, i kind of get it. if he's someone who believes that strength is a matter of responsibility, that anyone can choose to be strong, and that weakness is a personal moral failure.... then it's one's own fault if they "choose" not to be strong. you can't choose your tribe, but you can (as far as his thinking goes) choose strength, so therefore it's "fairer" since everyone has the same opportunity to be strong regardless of their birth circumstances. (again, according to him)

but like... why not just strive for a world that doesn't judge anyone on anything?? i can see how he might justify his belief in strength to himself, but i do wonder where it actually came from to begin with, if that makes sense. could it be related to his hatred of the king who betrayed him by giving up his ideals?? is that part of why he hates weakness so much????? or is it more that he thinks that if "playing fair" won't bring equality, he needs a way to justify the more fucked up things that he thinks are necessary to himself??

kind of like... hmm. i wonder if he saw the king's failure and became afraid that change wasn't possible, if even he couldn't bring it... but being determined to stick to his ideals, he shifted to more extreme thinking as a result??? i don't know if i phrased that in a way that makes sense, otl, but like. i'll try and think more and put it into words better in another post because i feel like i've ALMOST got something here!! idk!

louis' backstory with the sanctum is already tragic enough, and would be super traumatic for obvious reasons, but like. what i think about most right now is how he joined the military as a child, and how he was thought to have been the one who (tried to) kill the prince... presumably when he was also still a child. like idk??? that fucks with me. and i'm sure the betrayal he must've felt when everyone, even the one he'd looked up to, turned on him... must've really stuck with him all his life as well. louis...............
