[It messed things up a lot by taking them from different points in time. It made things a little awkward but not a bad awkward. Just..awkward.
There was so much that had happened; so much that they had gone through already and he didn't have that common ground with Prompto anymore.
Despite his best efforts a few tears fall and before he can do anything about it his Pikipek lands on his shoulder and gently gives him a nuzzle. Noctis gives the bird a weak smile that fades quickly, reaching up to pet the little bird as he looks down at a worried Bean.]
...My dad..he didn't....
[He didn't make it. And there had been so much Noctis still needed to say to him.]
no subject
But-- the king was dead. Noctis' dad. He didn't need Noctis to finish speaking to slide himself over - come next to his friend. Even if he feels he doesn't know what to do - if anything could be done - to help.
At least let him be there, letting out a soft grumble under his breath. Not at Noctis, though - at the whole situation. ]
...I-- damn.
[ Prompto couldn't comprehend how much it could hurt. His family situation was complicated, but even he... could understand this. Trying to crack a smile - and failing, his lips still stuck in a frown, he let himself just sit there. Trying to hold back his own tears, to let Noctis have somebody to cry on. (He was failing - wetness staining his face.)
Before letting out a groan at his sore foot, as he felt something flop against it. His Pidgey had noticed the sadness and was trying to help, but he'd let out simply a groan and didn't move to get the bird to flap away. ]
no subject
Yeah...it..yeah.
[What more could he say? Hell, he didn't want to say more but there was so much that Prompto still needed to know.
Maybe..maybe later though.
Right now Noctis just eases his weight off the other some at the sound of that groan, eyes blurred with tears as he peers at the blonde while wrapping his rams around Bean.]
You okay?
no subject
He's not okay. He knows Noctis has so much to hold on to and he has so much to mourn but he gives a sigh, trying not to cry more. But anger enters his voice. He's not okay with his pain in his foot, but... Prompto can't hold back anymore. ]
I mean... if that-- with all that happening, then what does it mean? That everything we do here won't matter?
...That anything we learn here doesn't mean shit?
[ He doesn't get it. He really doesn't - if he learns this and goes home, he can't stop it - if Noctis is here and telling him. (He'd have to be believed by at least Noct if he'd told him, right? Or would he be seen as lying.) But he lets Noctis lean into him, putting an arm around him. Holding him. Time travel is weird... ]
no subject
[Because he doesn't. Sure they kept moving forward; sure they were still fighting and Noctis was going to have to start seeking out the Astrals for help but what good was it going to do in the end? Was it going to change anything? Those thoughts were ones that had been plaguing Noctis since Insomina fell though he'd never voiced them to any of the others directly.
It was just easier to bottle it up. (Not healthy though.)
The arm around him is a welcome comfort and a shaky breath escapes the Prince as he closes his eyes and kind of curls in around Bean some. The Munchlax rumbles softly and nuzzles against him, attempting to hug him around the neck as Chocochick nuzzles at his hair some more.]
I'm sorry..I'm sorry to dump this on you..
no subject
Nah, man. Better now then later, right? Might have said something wrong.
[ But... he didn't. He hadn't cracked any inappropriate jokes, right? He felt his mind racing, going back to days before. Weeks before. He'd kept saying they'd go home and it'd been fine. But he--
Damnit. His leg feels like nothing compared to this. But he decides to at least... joke about that. Maybe loosen the mood, even if he just wants to cry. ]
Well, least you're standing. Not like I can right now.
no subject
I guess that's true..
[At least it was on the table and out of the way. It was probably going to loom over them for awhile but they'd get through it....right?
Glancing at the blonde, Noctis gives him a slightly worried look.]
Maybe we should go to a doctor..
[Time to start shifting the subject for the time being.]
no subject
How long would it take to get to a doc from here? [ It's just twisted - Prompto is pulling his leg back from the Pokemon, however, moving-- nope, he can't move it to slip off his shoe. Help him out? ]
no subject
We'd probably have to head back to the last city we were in but I can carry you if I have to.
[He sets the shoe aside and snags his bag, tugging it over so he can get some bandages out and wrap the other's ankle.]
Or we can keep going towards Violet.
no subject
[ But as he says that, his Null also... moves to sit closer to the entrance. As if saying he'll protect them, in his own way. But he is sticking his legy out. ]
Don't worry. I don't think this place is too dangerous? If we gotta leave tomorrow, I'll do it.
no subject
Two guards are better than none, right?]
..Alright. We'll see how it is in the morning.
[His gaze shifts back to Prompto, a worried look there despite how upset he still is.]
Just try not to move around too much in your sleep, alright? The bandages should help stabilize it but that doesn't mean you can toss and turn. [He tries to smile but it's a weak one.] If I have to, I'll still carry you come morning. Deal?
