Vacation, all I ever wanted

[starless_sky]

 Who: Noctis and you!
Broadcast: No.
Action: Yes (Planetside)
When: February

Well in this new system you might find yourself exploring. And if you do you might find two fluffy dogs Umbra and Pryna or their brooding owner Noctis. He's trying to get over his missing and now... late wife. He has his best friend and roommate to help him with that. But he's got to do his part and get out and try to enjoy life again. SO that brings him out to the planets. You may run into him so feel free to approach him, come bug him even!

The dogs will be happy to see you if nothing else. They are suceptible to petting, scratching, or any suggestion of treats. In fact if you have food on you they'll already be nosing around your pockets for it.

Bear meat. Mmmm.

"Awesome. Can you do something about the freckles?"

He was so worried about falling over Pryna, he didn't expect Noct to (haha) knock him over and sweep him up. He cried out and threw his arms around Noct's neck. "D-Dude!" He laughed, still surprised, a little nervous. "This isn't going to hurt your back, is it?"

[starless_sky]

How bad can it be? Plus he is pretty sure the crew is sick of fish. But it was free and it's delicious and he can cook it well so... whatever.

"What? Why would I do something about your freckles?"

Well, Noct has a solution for you. He laughs softly but this is kinda nice... he doesn't realize how touch starved he's felt... to have someone in his arms... he likes that feeling. Much as he pretends that he's too cool, he really does love physical affection. And Pryna can walk with her brother and sniff around and pee at every bush.

"I don't see why it would." he did go through training with Gladio. He isn't a meathead like his shield but he's stronger than he looks. "Unless you want to be put down." but he'd be disappointed if Prompto said yes.

Hey, if people get tired of fish, they can just hit up the restaurants on the Iskaulit, yeah?

"Have you seen them? Of course you have. How can you miss them?" They're everywhere, and abundant.

"If you're sure..." Prom's not doubting his strength. He's seen Noct do some awesome shit, and swing those massive swords. Anyway, it's good to see this lighter side to his friend. It's fun. "Nah. I feel like a princess."

[starless_sky]

True enough... but he ought to try harder. Ignis was so creative with food even though they had fuck all to work with. Just like when they camped. He had no idea how he made that work so well.

"Uh... sure but what about them? You have freckles, there's nothing wrong with it." some people like freckles... "Do you not like them?"

"I'm sure." he chuckled as a thought hit him. "I think princesses still have to walk. But you can be a damsel in King's Knight. I slayed the boss and I'm taking you home with me, as my prize!"

The trail ends, Noct is in the outskirts of the town. "So your highness, what sounds good to eat? Uh that place does... barbecue... that place over there looks like... a pub. Ahhhh..." he is just looking around. This language is impossible to read but he is looking for peoples' plates to see what they have on them.

No one expects Noctis to be Ignis. And no one has died (or become seriously ill) from Noct's cooking. So it's cool!

He shrugs and mumbles something that isn't really intelligible. ("I dunno.") It's not really important. Unless he wanted to slather on make-up every day, there wasn't much he could do about it.

"Ha! I totally own you in King's Knight. No way am I the damsel in this scenario." He shifts some and looks around at the options. "The pub looks good. I bet they have greasy food." He can splurge now and skip dinner.

[starless_sky]

Well, his taste buds do sometimes. He got spoiled by that amazing cooking day in and day out. He's a princess.

He picks that up. He speaks mumble, brah. "You don't like your freckles. Well... they're part of who you are. I like them. They look good on you. Your skin is incredible." did he really just say that? Oh man... awkward? He was just being honest though. Prompto ought to understand right? Hopefully? Ehh... he doesn't mean to be weird.

"I dunno. I feel like the knight right now." he could go for a round of king's knight right now if he could but alas, the communicators don't play that game. He's getting pretty good at Snake lately though.

"Greasy burgers and fries... maybe a kitchen sink sundae." a huge one he can split with Prompto and eat until they're so full they want to be sick like when they were younger.

[this_loser]

Poor baby.

"U-um..." He ... didn't have a witty comeback for that. Or any comeback. His incredible skin was on fire, so he ducked down to hide it between his shoulder and Noct's. It wasn't weird, just very unexpected, and nice, and he doesn't know what to do with that kind of compliment.

Quick! Save this!

"Maybe the knight's steed." He thrust his arm toward the restaurant. "Onward, noble stallion! To burgers and fries! Or whatever equivalent this planet offers!"

[starless_sky]

It's terrible, Prompto, you have no idea. You're one of those weird non picky eaters he's heart so much about.

"I know. Don't mind me, I'm weird. But you look fine, you're overthinking it." Noct took Prompto hiding his face as a bad sign. "Sorry..."

Oh, good thing his friend can save things like this. He's useless but Prompto's got the clutch.

"I can't wark like a chocobo. I can try but... it'll sound... actually nevermind." he laughs as he heads inside, onward to MSG and fried foods and wonderfulness... turns out the place is very much like home. Burgers, fries, even a dessert akin to cheesecake or ice cream. He's happy.

"So, are there any other photo spots you want to stop at?"

[this_loser]

Prompto had to eat his own kitchen disasters from childhood onward. He'd joke about having a steel stomach, but that's not true.

Overthinking things is Prompto's MO. If he's chattering and throwing himself into antics, he's lost in his head. His brain is just as noisy as his mouth.

Once they've settled in to eat, happy and content, he leans to bump against Noctis. "You're not weird."

He has to think a bit. "Hmm. There's a few. I don't know if I'll have time to see any more today, though."
