But those emotions were so raw, that wound so fresh that he didn't push it. Didn't dig. Didn't grind the glass and salt in any deeper than it already was. Maybe he should. But all it would do is make things worse. Would make the tension that was building between them boil over and explode.]
Luna... [But he doesn't even know what he was going to say. What could he even say? That he was sorry? For what? Breaking her heart? Not being as faithful to her as she had been to him?
For hurting her even though he hadn't meant to?] Please be safe, okay? If anything happened to you I...
[ That's right, she's not. But the one person that she can trust enough to go crying to isn't here, and even if he were, Ravus would only be angry at Noctis and that's not something that she wants, either.
So for now, she's on her own to deal with her emotions. And she can't come home until she's cried it all out on her own, let herself be sad and upset and momentarily selfish before she can come home and face him again. ]
Nothing will happen to me. You need not worry about me... I am a big girl, I can take care of myself. I don't know when I will be home, so please don't wait up for me. Thank you for being so honest.
[ She already feels like she's been torn apart from the inside out, and she doesn't think anything else could possibly hurt as much as this does. Not any spirit, nor Ardyn's blade could cut quite this deep. ]
[She shouldn't be thanking him. Not for his honesty and not for anything else. Those words hurt, cut deep and he feels an ache be knows he had no right to. He did this. This is his fault. And it's a guilt that rest sqaurely upon his shoulders.
But he has someone to go to for comfort. And she doesn't. So he buries it. Holds it inside and doesn't let it show.]
[ She doesn't trust herself to turn around and face him, because she's afraid that her aforementioned poker face isn't going to hold up if she actually sees him. So she merely nods, instead forcing her tone to remain light but neutral. ]
Yes, you as well. See you then.
[ Whenever 'then' ends up being, because right now she knows it's going to be a few days at most. She lifts a hand to wave, the only thing she can be bothered to do at this point, before she moves out of her bedroom and out of the house in general, headed out towards the thick forest so that she can do what she has to do in order to make herself seem a little bit normal when she decides to come home. ]

[Did he even have the right to say that anymore?]

Take care, Luna. I'll see you when you get back.
