Action: Kayanni System, the city
When: NOW

There is a wedding on the planet. You may know this because you were invited to this wedding by this little guy and it's a lovely ceremony! You can watch the couple get married, wether you know them or not, the whole fleet was invited.Even if they don't know you either.

Noctis was in all black and he was beside himself, the time had finally come and after seeing his beautiful bride he couldn't look away. The music was soft yet appropriate. Luna was beaming, holding onto Shiro's arm down the aisle until they were together and holding hands. The vows went on as if in another room. Noctis couldn't quite focus on them, he was fighting getting sucked into Luna's orbit and just kissing her prematurely. Distantly he heard his cue to repeat after the offician and he recited his vows word for word. Umbra had their rings ready for them. When he put Luna's on her finger he felt a tear spill down his cheek. He couldn't stop smiling. The officiant led Luna then and Noctis hung on every word. Her voice was melodic and soft. Then he had a ring on his finger and he felt himself crying again. He just looked at her, he officiant left them through the end, announcing it was over, they were married.

Noctis didn't wait for any cue, he pulled Luna in close and dipped her as they kissed.

They were laughing and crying and holding each other tight. They were in their own world for the time being. But the RECEPTION starts now. And that's what everyone really came for. There's alcohol, food in a buffet, and cake . Those of you at the cake tasting with them may notice the flavor you recommended is available as a donut! All of the suggested flavors are availalble, it was hard to decide who didn't get their favorite and what ONE flavor to make an entire cake out of. It didn't sit well with either of them.

Also sparklers There is a table with a few gifts on it, but it contains a large display of long sparklers with matches and a bucket of water saying "Please light up our night!"

SO Have at the reception everybody!

There is a: Dance floor with music booming, a buffet with delicious food and CAKE, There is BOOZE of all types and it's just flowing with no signs of stopping, and sparklers! Also dancing with the bride..... or getting a photo with the couple!

[Which is why it is important to take all the pictures he can while he can, so if and when Gladio does show up, they can fill him in on everything he missed.]

Oh, I know. [He lifts his camera as if that's proof. He's taken pictures of quite of few lovely people - ladies and otherwise - those that would let him, anyway.] But, no. Wasn't planning on it. One night of embarrassment was enough, thank you.

[Ignis lets out a soft snort at Prompto's comment about embarrassment. Not that he wants to laugh at his friend, but the other man's dancing is rather appalling.]

Well, that is a shame. I was hoping to be able to get proof this time for Gladio if he showed up. Although, I believe that he'd have to trust Lady Lunafreya's word about your dancing ability.

Hey, now. I wasn't that bad. [Maybe a little less than terrible. And Luna wouldn't make fun of him, would she? He pouts.] Did you know there's a dance studio on the Iskaulit? I could learn. Next dance we have, I could be better than all of you.

Even after some training, the fact that you step on your partner's feet is a fact that I shall take to my grave.

[The attempts to try and teach him wasted. And he must not know the true Luna if he thought that he was safe from teasing.] No, I didn't know that, but there appears to be a little bit of everything on the Iskaulit. Should you endeavor to actually learn, I wouldn't be adverse to attempting another try at teaching you.

[He has thicker shoes this time.]

[He levels a mild glare at the taller man.] You gonna tell me you never made any mistakes when you were starting out?

[Not wasted. Just ... Prompto could stand to be a better student.] Really? You would? I don't know how often dances or balls come up, but there's been already been a couple, so it wouldn't hurt to be prepared, you know? That is, I mean, if you don't mind, that would be great.

[And for all the glaring that Prompto does, Ignis is not affected in the least. If Noctis couldn't ruffle his feathers, the small photographer has less of a chance.]

Of course I made mistakes when I first started out, but I put forth more effort as well. I'm used to Noctis being subpar in some areas. I suppose I hoped you'd work harder than our prince.

[Considering Prompto's skill with a camera, he isn't unused to doing something until he gets it right.]

And of course I would be willing to teach you again. If you are willing to put forth a genuine effort to learn this time. There are plenty of women here that I'm sure can also be persuaded to help, such as Velvet or Hermione, should I ask.

[He can tell the glare isn't working. It never has. No reason that should change. That's not going to stop him, especially after the jab at his lack of effort.]

Unlike our prince, I'm not, y'know, a prince. Diplomatic relations aren't hinging on my ability to to the waltz.

[He has a eye for detail, true. His feet didn't get the memo. Still. He raises a hand, like the good scout he never was.]

Promise. I'll take it more seriously this time. U-um if you think it will help, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask...?

[Prompto is too cute to truly be threatening to someone trained to fight. That had always been his problem.]

I'm no prince either, Prompto, but I do associate with one. I took the time to learn so as to not embarrass him. Though, I suppose it's more relevant in my case than yours.

[Ignis finds the photographer's actions amusing, and a little bit endearing. Much like the man himself.]

Trust me, Prompto, when I say that learning with others at the same time is actually the best way to go about learning. Neither lady is an extreme adept, but they're both light enough on their feet that they can avoid you stepping on them much.

[The glare turns to an eye roll, though it's half-hearted. He wasn't Noct's friend because he knew how to do all the fancy social crap. It wasn't like he was invited to any of those events anyway. (He didn't see the big deal. They looked overly complicated, over dressed, stressful, and boring.) There'd never been a reason to learn, before now.]

Fine, fine. You're not exactly a commoner, though, and had a lot more time to learn.

[[Prompto looks a little skeptical. Learning with others also increases his chances of doing something stupid with an audience.]

Much. Awesome. Okay. Maybe you can teach me how not to step on toes before inviting girls?

[Ignis didn't start off as Noctis' friend either. So Prompto is totally selling himself short on that regard.]

It's true that I am not a commoner and that I've had more training to perfect my skill, but I've also been the one to really push myself. It's why I manage to do well. It's why Noctis and Gladio like to call me a perfectionist. And it's not as if I really have much choice.

If I don't do it, who will help Noctis?

[Ignis shakes his head to dispel the gloom those thoughts from his head. No need to dwell right now. Not today.]

And I suppose it would be kinder to you if we waited. Less chance of you embarrassing yourself.

[Selling himself short: one of Prompto's better talents. Right under photography and misjudging distances when jumping.

But yes. Let's not nosedive into the abyss. This is a wedding. He smiles brightly.]

You're the best. Hop over the Iskaulit with me sometime soon and we can get started on that.

[Yes, well, stop that. You're worth more than you give yourself credit for.]

You are aware that there are things that we must do on our own ship from time to time, yes? However, I am usually on the Iskaulit for a few hours a day. There's a garden that Lady Lunafreya and I have been working on as of late.

Perhaps you can give us a hand with that as well.

Yeah. I...I know.

[But the ship is small and made of metal. And after Ardyn so kindly bombarded him with visions of the Keep (and really, he should have talked to someone about that, but wedding preparations were happening and it was the last thing he wanted to talk about...) the ship seems all the more confining. The Iskaulit isn't a perfect solution, but it has room to breathe.]

Is that the same garden Hermione told me about?

[Ignis frowns as he looks at Prompto. He didn't see much of the future that Noctis and Prompto have lived through, but he's seen enough of it to make him wonder about what the blond went through while he was Ardyn's captive.]

No, it's much smaller. It's for vegetables and the like, not the magical herbs that Hermione uses for her potions. Think of it as an extension of the small plot we used around the Caem lighthouse.

[He deflects the frown the best way he knows how. He shrugs off the dangling thread of that uncomfortable topic (they can talk about it later, if Ignis really wants to know what happened) and grins.]

Ah, gotcha. Sure, I'll help out.

[And if he totally fails at space gardening, he can at least document.]

Have you got anything good growing yet?

[Don't worry your pretty little head about it, Prompto. Soon, Ignis will know more about that time than he really ever wanted to. The glimpse he got in Prompto's memories is more than enough to go with the news delivery he'd gotten from Noctis upon his own arrival on the Fleet.]

Good. There are no carrots, so Noctis can't complain about that, but there are mushrooms, tomatoes and other things one expects in a vegetable garden. I'm sure that soon Lady Lunafreya will branch back into flowers.

[Space Sylleblossoms...]

[Of course he'll worry. He'll worry about Ignis, (now and especially later), and Noctis. He'll worry about Luna too.]

That all sounds wonderful. I'll take whatever Noctis doesn't want.

[He always happily ate whatever veggies Noctis shoved aside anyway.]

[Oh, good, they can all worry about one another. Isn't that healthy?]

I suppose if you're around, I won't have to worry about food going to waste. The others on the ship help in that regard as well.

[Spoiled prince is spoiled.]

[If that means taking care of each other and looking out for each other, then sure. It can be healthy.]

I only offered to take Noct's don't-wants. The rest of the crew can handle the rest - can't go ruining my figure, you know. But I promise not a waste any precious veggies I am blessed with.

[Whose fault was that?]

[They could all do with keepers, it's true. Why not each other.

Ignis frowns at Prompto's remark about his figure. He'd forgotten about the younger man's past.]

I'm sure that if Noctis is involved, there will be plenty of vegetables that somehow make it onto your plate. I wouldn't worry about that.
