[The anger that had been simmering just under the surface was starting to show in the narrowing of his eyes, the set of his lips and the growl in his voice.]

And you have some damn nerve gettin angry with me for something I didn't know, something you or anyone else could have told me over the last seven fucking months! But hey, make me the bastard here for not knowing if it helps you sleep at night.

But I had no idea of any of that until this very second with you telling me. Maybe if I knew before hand I wouldn't have gone anywhere near the guy. I won't ever fucking know now because none of my friends let me know there was a guy around that was worse than Ardyn Izunia!

[A hand appears at the top of the screen, Gladio's voice had been rising to a near shout until the hand dropped on his head and he abruptly stopped what he was about to say. His eyes closed and after a few seconds he took a deep, shaky breath before glancing up at Tony. He mouthed the words 'thanks', before he glanced back at the screen in his hands.

The anger was gone, but the hand seemingly stroking his hair remained. Gladio just looked tired again.]

... I'm sorry. I didn't know, couldn't possibly know. No one told me. And I'm sorry...
