[ 2nd blessing - a special guest! ]
Who: Lunafreya Nox Fleuret and you!
Broadcast: None.
Action: Yes, if aboard the SS Blameless. Which clearly means everyone should come to visit her because there is a very special guest aboard the ship now.
When: Early evening.
A - Kitchens.
[ Lunafreya is uncharacteristically excited, and for good reason. Not only does she have her beloved Prince here now along with Ignis, but she's got yet another familiar face from home. If you are aboard the Blameless, crew members or visitors alike will notice the young woman walking around with an extremely friendly looking black dog trotting at her side, looking just as pleased as she is.
She's walking all over the ship, talking to the dog in question, showing him various locations, and he seems to understand her completely. Her next stop is the kitchen, and as she pauses, her faithful companion sits down and barks. She smiles apologetically and crouches down, reaching to pet him, clearly completely unaware that there is, in fact, someone else in the kitchen as well. ]
Forgive me, Umbra, but I'm not so sure you're going to like the food they serve here...
B - The Bridge.
[ What kind of tour would it be for her beloved companion if she were not to show him the bridge of all places? Umbra looks pretty interested -- as interested as a dog can look at least, and as she explains the various functions he tips his head to the side slightly, looking at everything she's pointing out.
But he's not just paying attention to her, oh no. He's paying attention to everything. Umbra's ears twitch, and suddenly his tail is wagging as footsteps approach. As if to signal to Luna that someone is coming, he whines and barks, his front feet prancing in place excitedly because new friends! ]
--Ah, pardon us. I hope we are not in your way.
C - Various areas of the Blameless.
[ While the Blameless isn't the biggest ship in the world, she's been very careful to mention each and every detail that she can think of and show Umbra, who has been keeping a casual pace at her side this entire time. From the kitchens, to the bridge, to the various bedrooms (that she has been respectful enough to NOT go in other than her own, thank you very much), the pup is quite literally getting toted everywhere.
Come and say hello! ]

Yeah. I think that goes for all of us. It's been... a really long time since you were able to sit still, hasn't it?
[He opens his eyes again to look at her.]
You know. Like when we were kids. You used to sit and read to me.
no subject
...Yes. [ She pauses a little, as if mentally fumbling for the proper wording. ] If I can be quite honest... I am not used to this. I suppose I have been conditioned to being told what to do, where to go and when, being locked in my quarters for days on end... and then everything else that's happened within the last few weeks.
[ She almost hesitates, but... he's a grown man now, not a little boy. She knows that he probably knows that she's tried to sugar coat her captivity for him over the years. She slowly opens her eyes, allowing her own gaze to drift off to the side slightly. ]
This may sound silly to you, but I feel... strange. I am so used to chaos that this peace and quiet is odd and almost overwhelming. It is definitely something I'm going to have to get used to.
[ She chuckles a little regardless, finally allowing her line of vision to fall back onto his, and the hand that is holding one of his own squeezes lightly. ]
I enjoyed reading to you, although I was pleasantly surprised that you were so interested. Those are memories that I often recall fondly. I wouldn't mind reading to you again sometime... if you'd like, that is.
[ Her smile turns almost mischievous suddenly as she recalls something else. ]
I also remember the moment your father and my mother turned their backs, pushing your wheelchair up and down the hallways as fast as I could go. I always assumed that they didn't realize what we were doing, yet as I grew older it became very obvious they probably knew exactly what we were doing, considering how hard we were laughing.
no subject
[And then it was too late.
Even so, her mischievous smile brings about a sunny grin from him in turn. He remembered those times with her fondly, hoping perhaps that their marriage meant they could recapture some of that, after everything she'd been through. He'd only ever wanted to make her happy and to give her a home.]
Yeah. Nothing ever got past my old man, I don't think. I know he wanted me to rest, but he also wanted me to be myself again even more.
[Somehow he got the feeling her mother and his father had been complicit in their childish antics, even if Ravus hadn't exactly been so himself. His smile softens and he mirrors her actions previously by resting a hand to her cheek. It still blew his mind that he could reach out and touch her, that she wouldn't disappear like sand between his fingers.]
Though, I think I'm taking up more of the bed than I used to.
[He smiles shyly, letting his hand drop again. He didn't know what to do about their engagement or if this was even appropriate, and yet he wanted to move closer to her. The only thing keeping them apart was Umbra laying betwen them.]
no subject
[ No, no. She's not going to allow him to linger on the past.
But then his mood brightens, and she's so happy to see that grin on his face. It isn't often that she gets to see it -- even in the pictures he'd sent her, he wasn't really smiling. So to see this right now... it makes her heart melt. ]
The same for my mother. And I am certain that Ravus told on us, being the stick in the mud that he is. Yet no one bothered to stop us. It was fun.
[ If anything, she's fairly sure that their parents had been amused by their actions. She's sure that Regis was glad to see Noctis laughing and smiling again. It's certainly a rewarding experience, and the more he smiles the more she's realizing just how much she's missed seeing it. Seeing him.
There wasn't a day that went by that she hadn't thought of him at least once, wondered how he was doing or which one of his friends he was hanging out with and praying that no matter what he was safe and happy and healthy.
Her smile widens as he places his hand on her cheek. She can feel a blush trying to form, not that she can stop it of course, but his touch is so warm and inviting just like him. Noctis never fails to amaze her, he is just so sweet and kind and genuine.
But then his hand slips away, and she can't stop herself from reaching out with her free hand to take his, the one that he has in fact just settled back down on to the mattress. Her thumb rubs soothing little circles against the back of his hand, giggling at his words. ]
Indeed you do. You've grown a lot in the last twelve years. How did you manage to finally grow taller than me, hm?
[ Personally, she doesn't care if it's appropriate. She's just glad to have time with him, one on one away from other people. They hadn't had the opportunity to do things like this at home, to reunite properly and just relax together. It's nice, and she cherishes every second of this.
She hums, before gently, playfully bumping her forehead against his. ]
I had to suffer through vegetables that I did not enjoy at all, and yet I hardly grew. Yet you hate them and managed to do just fine. Something is very wrong with this picture.
no subject
[His eyes widen a bit when they become more physically close. The forehead bump is familiar and welcome, as is everything about her, and yet he can't help the lingering thought in the back of his mind that he had wanted to marry this woman and then the things that came with it came into his head along with those thoughts. They were currently laying in bed alone, unsupervised, and while at the time that seemed perfectly normal - this was a bigger hole he seemed to be digging himself into emotionally because he was definitely thinking of how he'd very much like to test the waters and be somehow spontaneous and out of character for himself and just kiss her.
He wasn't nearly that smooth.]
And vegetables are gross. You'll never see me eat one as long as I live.
[He tries to be cool and yet his pulse quickened as he kept his eyes trained on hers. With how close they are, their breath mingled together and everything sounded louder in his ears.]
no subject
[ Poor Noctis. She's only partially oblivious, really -- and she knows she shouldn't be doing this. But she's enjoying the close proximity, the intimacy that this is bringing. She thinks that had everything gone to plan, they'd have done things like this quite a bit at home. Lying together in bed and just talking quietly amongst themselves, curled comfortably close with both dogs lying at the foot of the bed.
Being married to Noctis was something she'd wanted so badly and she had felt so selfish about burdening him with such things, especially with everything else on his plate. Almost guiltily, she finds herself still in that same frame of mind... by all accounts, they should be married right now. They should be home in Insomnia with his friends, having the time of their young lives right now. But she hadn't looked forward to marrying him to get away from the Empire, or because he was the handsome Prince of Lucis or the Chosen King. She had been ecstatic to marry him, Noctis. Her childhood friend, her very best friend, her confidante.
She loves Noctis for being Noctis, she always has and always will. That quiet, sweet boy who had been so eager to learn everything she'd offered up to him from books that had grown into such a caring, loyal young man. She'd wanted so badly to be able to stand at his side, not just as Oracle or queen or whatever title that would have been handed to her, but as someone who would gladly shoulder his burdens. Mostly, she wanted to make him happy.
It's with that thought that she suddenly realizes just how close they actually are, and... well. He hasn't moved away yet. All she'd have to do is lean in just half an inch and close the gap between them. The temptation is definitely there, especially with their gazes locked as they are. ]
Not every vegetable is gross... did you know that some of them can even be made into breads and pies and cakes? How do you know you haven't already partaken in some of them in those forms, hm?
[ As amusing as that particular mental image is... there's bigger fish to fry here. Like the urge to just lean over and press her lips against his like she wants to. But she doesn't want to scare him off, or worse yet make him not want to speak with her again. Or both. But he's so close and it's extremely hard to refrain. ]
Are you still sleepy? If you are, you should try to nap. [ There. That's a good way to keep herself from pulling him close and kissing him with everything she's got in her. If he's asleep, she can't do that... because it would be weird. And Luna prides herself on attempting to be the exact opposite of weird.
...Mostly. ]
