A good man, but not a very good father. Perhaps they had more in common than anyone might guess at first glance? Even Seteth might be surprised to hear it, should anyone think to make the comparison; they hadn't spoken often, but Seteth had respected Rodrigue well enough when they'd had the chance to meet. To think such a skilled knight would be forced into such a position.....

Well. Now isn't the time to ask about that, isn't it? Felix has surely struggled with the loss enough; he doesn't need that wound torn open any further. They have an entirely new way of life to prepare Felix for instead. Seteth shakes his head, regathering his thoughts. "These bracelets allow us to more or less integrate into the society the golems have made for themselves. Perhaps most importantly, so long as we wear them, speaking different languages isn't an issue--people here come from countless different worlds, and we couldn't make ourselves understood otherwise."

Remember trying to talk with Petra, Felix? At least she had a good grasp on the Fodlan language. "They also keep track of the money we earn; it's called credits, rather than using real gold. They're also used for the Augur--that would be the being that brought us here--to make demands of us, and to communicate over long distances with each other. There are ways to restrict that communication, but that wouldn't stop someone knowledgeable enough from eavesdropping, if they saw fit. I would trust speaking over these to be no more private than a conversation held in public like this one."
