[But he does know, now, what a wonderful young man Noctis becomes. He knows that his son does grow up, that he has friends, that Ignis and Gladio remain at his side. That Cor's own ill-advised compassion gives him the best friend he could ever ask for.]
Regis...
[He doesn't have words that will make any of this better, there's nothing to say that could even begin to soothe the wounds on his heart. But there's that moment where Regis' balance shifts, his weight tilting more firmly into Cor. He doesn't stumble or lose his footing but he's clearly in no condition to stand on his own. Cor carefully bends down, looping an arm behind his King's knees and lifting quickly, tipping Regis into his arms.
He might be able to hold Honerva or Lup effortlessly for the better part of an hour but Regis is far heavier, denser, more muscled... and yet lighter now than he had been before he slept, the muscle fading already. But Cor backs them both up to one of the day beds, sitting back with Regis half draped across his lap, still supported by his arms, holding him close..]
I love you...
[The only thing he can even begin to offer Regis. His own affection and support in the face of all that loneliness.]
