can we climb this mountain ( OPEN )
Who: Noctis and YOU.
What: Catchall.
When: Latter half of the month.
Where: All around.
Warnings: Nothing currently. Will update if necessary.
[ Noctis is getting into the swing of things here. He's still a little restless from not doing things like hunts, or helping people by going on fetch quests, but... it could be worse. He has Prompto and Ignis here, so everything is fine. Still, he needs to actively go out and find things to do.
So.
If you happen upon him in the audio/visual center, he grins and raises a hand to wave. ]
Hey. [ He points to the DDR machine. ] Feel up for a challenge?
[ He's in the library here and there, too. He's not really looking for anything in particular, but there's a lot. Maybe there's something familiar? Some days, he seems to be looking for something. Other days, he can be found curled up in a chair, a book on diseases in his lap. He's also asleep, oops. Come nudge him or whatever; Delilah is there curled up on his shoulder, whenever he naps.
At night, he's found on the roof. It's beautiful, and Noctis gazes up at the stars with a quiet, thoughtful expression.
And then there are some days when he goes to the beach. He's ditched his jacket, and after stretching out a bit, he takes a quick jog. Then... he summons his father's sword in a burst of light, and-- throws it? He disappears, then reappears, with that blue light following him. This, he repeats several times, until he's bent over at the waist, hands on his knees, breathing hard. After a period of rest, he repeats.
It seems like he's pushing his limits, seeing how far he can go. ]

[His gaze shifts from the drawing to the back of his hand, and the red mark there.]
I don't have the answer for you. You'll have to decide for yourself. For me the question is terribly simple, because I have nowhere else to go.
no subject
[ He looks at the red mark, too, curiosity burning through him. ]
I just... I don't want to die. There's so much I haven't done, Izunia.
no subject
[Walk a mile in someone's shoes, or around their finger as the case may be...]
And even if you're successful in finding another way, the crystal cost you ten years that could have been so much happier.
[His hand tightens over the pen. A subtle anger, burning in low embers.]
...I didn't want that. Not for any of you.
no subject
.... I'd be pretty upset if you did want that.
[ It's a funny joke, hear the way he's laughing and it falls so flat? ]
no subject
You would have every right to be.
no subject
[ He sighs and leans back, looking up at the ceiling. ]
I have... kind of a weird question.
no subject
no subject
[ He looks at him, rubbing at his neck. ]
You were in the Ring with my dad, right? Do you-- think he'd be proud of me?
no subject
[So uh, hey? Don't mind Izunia putting down all his art shit to come over and put an arm around your shoulders.]
He was always proud of you. Every single moment.
no subject
... Even when I failed?
[ Jared. Luna. Ignis's eyes, Prompto falling off the train... ]
no subject
[The response comes without even a heartbeat's hesitation, and he squeezes Noctis' shoulder just a little.]
It always mattered far more to him that you tried.
no subject
Of course I had to try. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if I didn't.
no subject
no subject
He was the one who taught me that stuff. That's all.
no subject
no subject
... Thanks. For answering that. It's been bugging me for a while.
no subject
Of course. Anything you should need. I mean that.
