it's true, tidus needs to hurry up and Git Gud. dumb pesky emotions getting in the way....!!

Tidus tips his head in a sort of nod at Piccolo's explanation, a puff of chill air slipping out between his lips as he breathes.

"I didn't hear a lot about the sovereign when I was asking," he admits, tone mostly neutral, but an apologetic edge. Though, even hearing anything had been by accident. "They're either long-lived, or another dragon takes their place. They mostly keep out of what happens except for their domain--but they say they're benevolent."

For whatever help that may be when they finally reach the sovereign of the land.
