[He wouldn't mind a few years to do something, honestly. Even if reflecting on his issues took up the bulk of it, Maybe if he could do it while fishing...

Ardyn's probably right, though.]

You are helping, I can promise you that much. Even if it's just... peace of mind, I guess. It's better than shoving it all under the bed.

[He's done plenty of that in the past - and still does it now, most of the time. Out of sight, out of mind. Except it's not out of mind at all, it's just not out of his mouth, in that he won't talk about it. No one's required to help him feel better about the trash fire his life's become, but the fact that Ardyn tries really does mean a lot.]
