There weren't many of them with any real amount of age or experience behind them. They were all so young, Gladio had thought as he passed the time amongst them. This was a mission, yes, but also an adventure for them.
He had to wonder if they truly knew the weight of this mission. If they understood just how many lives were on the line. How bad it would be if the Lucian kingdom was destabilized by the death of the prince.
And then there was this one. A man that looks like he gets it. Someone with age and experience. Gladio had been watching him and wondering. Why this man? Why was he selected? Did he know how to fight in the Mist? Did he have the martial skills to compensate for what came next?

It was almost hard to believe he might.
"Gryphon," he says. "And no."
