[ He reads the words once, then again. It's... still composed, in the way he's come to expect from Fitz, but the question is like an invitation. Or maybe a hint, a prodding to speak and to listen in equal measure. A little more open, a little more humanizing. ]
I don't get what that's like but I can guess
I didn't sign up for anything back home, I was born into my role. Makes for a big change. Didn't think I was prepared for that, but whether it's there or here if I'm looking at people like those kids or their parents I don't have time to think about it. I just do what I have to do.
That's the easy part, and staying moving's how I deal with it. You too?

Always so blunt, always trying to get straight into the heart of the matter. How needlessly dull.
But very well. Prompto was bait. And live bait always attracts a more enthusiastic catch. How is that for a direct answer?

[prompto, sweet talking anyone... right]
oh you know what we should bring also!
[as he bursts through the door of the apartment, blessed cold a/c, holding a bag on his hand and sucking on the straw of something that's meant to be like orange juice.]
air mattress! heya you here

So you stole the code somehow?
[ Yeah, sorry, man. ]
Hey, I'm back here! [ "Back here" being the tiny laundry closet, nothing short of a vision in his pajama shorts and oversized t-shirt while he washes the rest of the paltry items they own. ]
You can start deflating the-- hey, is that the new orange Yum Yum?
[ Yeah, sorry, man. ]

[Seems like that's that, then. In the end, Ardyn got what he wanted, too, so-]
I'm sure we will.
Have a nice day, Your Majesty!
I'm sure we will.

[There's no message, only a single image, seemingly snapped at a distance: Noctis in his cosplay gear posed by one of the vendor tables. Let's assume he lifted his mask to drink a smoothie at some point, and Cain caught him in the act.]
is this seriously you
is this seriously you
--you bet it is!
[he's dumped the bag on the couch and heads on over to where noctis is, leaning against him heavily and offering the juice container.]
Can't believe you are doing our laundry.
[whether noctis accepts it or not, prompto's already kicking off his shoes.] --but, for the record, I didn't steal anything.

At this particular moment in time? Yes.
[Every other moment in time? Not... so much.]
If that's what you'd prefer, then so be it. I'll do my best to find something you'll enjoy.
[Noctis likes dumb things, he knows that!!! Silly games he can enjoy with Prompto, 'normal' teenager things. Time to scope out the con and find something he wouldn't expect.]

Cool. I was thinking-- oi.
[ Predictably the sudden lean has him cutting himself off, tempted to roll his eyes but instead he's shrugging his shoulder at his friend to annoy him while nabbing the drink. ]
What, this? Yeah, I figured out the bleach ratio and where it goes. [ He tries... not to sound too proud of himself, but it'd actually been pretty cool to work it out and do something like that for himself. Baby steps. ]
--damn, the orange one really is the best... What happened then, if you didn't steal it?

[shoes kicked off just in time to be shrugged off, prompto uses the borrowed momentum to go grab his pajamas -- because this is definitely and outdoors sleepover -- and starts scrambling to change into his own pair of shorts and a sleeveless cut shirt. it's too damn hot for oversized t-shirts.]
The strawberry one might be my second favorite.
[a rough scrub at his own hair, and he's a boy ready for bed, moving on over to where the air mattress is, stepping on it to help the deflation process.]
[noctis getting to do domestic things, it makes him feel warm with affection. his dumbass best friend, actually enjoying things he never once dreamed of doing if someone else could in his stead. SILAS, the a/c robot, patrols around the couch. prompto, the mattress deflater, stamps some more on pockets of air.]
Dunno! I just started talking to him at the lobby and he's all but offered the code to me. [lmao] Guess I'm just charmin' like that.
