Mmm, growing up, I always kind of admired him from afar, you know? We went to the same school, but he was always surrounded by people asking him questions about his house, or his servants, or... oh. [Prompto interrupts himself with a laugh.] He's the prince, so. Sort of unapproachable, right? He seemed impossibly cool to someone like me.

[He quiets fondly, looking down at the bottle crab in its helmet.]

But he looked lonely, too. And when I did get to know him, it turned out he was a big awkward nerd who complains about homework and doesn't clean his room. Oh man, we skipped so much school to play video games at the arcade, but somehow, he still managed to pull through when he needed to... Those were the days.
