[So, now it's his turn to give some exposition. First, though, he responds to the kiss with a soft one of his own, chasing after the initial touch for a moment.]
There are two schools of magic used by humans in Eos, both linked to the kings of Lucis. Their bloodline is blessed by the Astrals, grantng them abilities linked to a powerful crystalline artifact. [While he speaks, his hands slide higher up her thighs, his thumbs pressing gently into the dips of her pelvis.]
That artifact, along with The Ring of the Lucii, were bestowed upon the royals of Lucis in ages past by the Astrals themselves. The Ring holds the spirits of the past monarchs of Lucis and allows the bearer to channel the power of the Crystal, though at no small cost. The manner in which the former kings are bound to the Ring is similar to the way that those of the royal line can bestow their power upon others. A... very particular bonding of souls. [It's a lot to take in, but he thinks she can follow it. This is probably more information than she intended to get.]
Using this bond, the king grants power to the Kingsglaive, an elite group of soldiers who protect Lucis and are sworn to him. Prompto, Gladiolus and myself are sworn to Noctis. Gladiolus as his shield, myself as his advisor, and Prompto... [A small smile.] Prompto was sworn in only days before the Empire's attack.
[He pauses here, to take a breath. It's actually been some time since he explained all of this to somebody.] Noctis commands the Crystal's power to warp - a form of teleportation - and to summon weapons. He also uses a school of magic known as Elemancy - the control of fire, ice and lightning. Through him, we are granted similar abilities, though not the entirety of them. With his absence, I was entirely cut off from those abilities.
