That's not at all the same, and it doesn't make sense, either. This robot isn't from my Detroit.
[ARE ALL ROBOTS THE SAME TO YOU]
You didn't. Who?
[-he asks, aware of the surreality of having a casual conversation while Hellachopper whirs and spins angrily below him the entire while.]

yeah that's definitely good for us!! he sounds like he hates losing so once we really insist that if he doesn't lvl up he'll just keep dying he'll probably be at it almost all the time
you added the cute ~*~*~ to it too
nice touch
we're just gonna have to be their guides for a bit then!
sounds like fun

[prompto's curious about what noctis means with being able to help with his sleep, eyes flicking upwards to meet his friend's eyes--but the rest of his words, his question sounds so vulnerable that prompto has to keep his gaze down anyway.]
[he wants to tell noct... everything, but he doesn't know just well he himself can stomach speaking it out loud.]
[maybe he could test the waters? give something to noctis without giving everything away, ultimately measuring what kind of respond he should expect in the end.]
Well...
[he fixes his grip on noctis's hand, arranging how he's sitting on the cot, too, now pulling his legs crossed under himself.]
Y'know how we -- we always thought MT's were just machines? Just a bunch of metal put together... You've pulled a core out before, when we fought 'em, they stop working without it.
[mulling over what to say next, prompto bites hard on his lip] They use people. Their... essence, or whatever, to make them into... those things. There's a whole factory, I guess? That's...
That's what I saw there.

Geeze, easy, easy... Yeah, we're gonna' go. You didn't even give me a chance to answer before you were saying a ton of other stuff anyway.
[ The shin kick is returned with a lazy outward sweep of one leg, not intending to so much as hit him and not managing to anyway. ]
Ahh, you can pay me back if it's something good and cheap so... It's not like you haven't owed me before. [ Which precedes a little flick of his head, signaling to Prompto to follow after him as he turns on his heel. ]

Ha ha. [ This is what forced laughter looks like, Markus. Learn it, for the sake of politeness. ]
I'm not saying I'm not gonna' work. Obviously I'm used to working hard... and I've even worked in a restaurant before. Just didn't expect it is all.
... I'll think about it.

No? Does that happen to you a lot? Bc that sounds like a power I want.
That could be cool. I wanna see the actual sketch though before I say for sure. [ Right, before he says for sure that it looks dope but he still can't get it tattooed. It's still fun to talk about with him. ]
Well if I'm blocked then I can't tell you all the secrets I was about to share with you huh.

[ It's an uneasy feeling, trying to anticipate what Prompto might say so he can avoid taking any of it badly when his friend is obviously going through something difficult. He wants to plan a reaction to something he can't anticipate, for Prompto's sake, even if maybe what they need now is just pure honesty from both of them -- it doesn't stop him suddenly slipping his hand free.
A more cowardly move? Maybe, with how his eyes now briefly avoid Prompto's instead, but he's glad he did it a moment later.
MTs... are people? Made from people or actually embodied by them -- does it make a difference? The words hit a filter in his mind first, an initial instinct to deny that possibility, before they start fully seeping in. ]
No way... [ Muttered at first, quiet. ] So all this time-- All the ones I've been fighting... [ The implication brings with it a hard spike of guilt that he doesn't subject Prompto to, instead just giving into a quiet shake of his head as he leans back slightly. ]

I don't think his affinity for Connor has anything to do with him being an android. How would he know?
The NAFD. It would be a good to have more of our number as volunteers, considering their involvement with the fire. ["nbd", though.] It sounds like it was an easy decision for you to make. Confident in your ability to put out raging infernos?

Well, once you're healed up, of course.
[But if Noctis is talented enough to be a one-armed waiter, all the power to him.]
I should, but don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything. [There's a nurse call button, of course, but Markus means it in terms of company. Or someone who can fetch more jello for him more expediently than it would take for room service to reach his room.
With that, he deigns to stand, fighting back a wince.]
I'll let you rest for now.

It could also mean that you’re wrong and this whole argument lacks two legs to stand on.
[THEREFORE NOT DYING ON THIS HILL]
I think it’s a good idea, as long as you’re careful. But you don’t need me to tell you that. [Note how he’s mentioning it anyway.] Did you really put out fires with your magic back home?
