Name: Prompto Argentum
Date: 12/1
Format: Voice

[This comes pretty early in the day, but it's important.

And Prompto does not sound okay. He sounds like he might have been crying or is trying not to start.]

Uh. If...Ignis and Gladio are gone.

[A shaky breath.]

I don't know if Gladio had any bonds, but if he did and you were one of 'em...you're welcome to swing by mine and Noct's place? A-and, uh, Noct needs another bond, I'm pretty sure he's just got me now and Iggy was the only Witch either of us had gotten around to bonding with b-but I'll be fine with just him for a bit. He needs the more bond right now, so...any Witches out there looking for a lazy cat?

[He tries to chuckle, to be himself, but it's not easy.]

So...Oh! Uh, if you have a chocobo I got a bag of gyshals I'm...trying to grow here so there may be some of that in the future. [Gotta try and make this not miserable. Miserable is bad.] Anyway...yeah.

[End message. He's a mess.]

Prompto...

[This absolutely breaks her heart. She's only known him a short while, but she knows how he must be feeling. Losing Jusis had been a sad for them too.]

You're always welcome at our house too if you guys would like the company.

[Oh no. He didn't really know Ignis or Gladio personally, but those poor guys...]

I'm so sorry Prompto. Is there anything I can get you?

You sure? Your place is pretty packed, isn't it?

Uh...I don't know. This is...

[Bad? Bad.]

A lot? It's a lot. I only know Gladio's gone because I tried to get a hold of him and...

Yes of course! We actually lost one of our own recently, so it would be nice to have guests.

We still owe you one for the trouble Randy and Fie caused you guys too. But more than that, you're friends.

And he wasn't anywhere to be found? That happened with some of my friends.

I know...it's a lot. I'm really sorry Prompto.

Don't worry about me, worry about yourself.

[He's not taking any offense to the 'lazy cat' description because really, it him.]

I've still got Yuya, so I'm okay.

[K'rihnn doesn't know what to say. He hasn't known Prompto long, but he can guess that Ignis and Gladio are important to him and "Noct." Important enough for them to Bond with Ignis, at the very least.

In the end, there's nothing he can really say to it. He's certain he'd be just as inconsolable if it was the Exarch. So... K'rihnn takes a different approach.]

Um... would you... like for me to come over with Iris?

Seriously? Who went home?

Yeah, Towa said one of your friends went home too?

Wait, you have another bond? And I missed it?

[He's trying to tease. It...may not be working.]

Yeah, Jusis did about a week ago.

I miss him, but he'll be alright. He has duties to attend to back home, so it's probably for the best.

[That makes him chuckle.]

I wouldn't say no? But only if you're free.

Jusis did, less than two weeks ago.

[But they had each other, so it hadn't been so bad. For Prompto and Noctis... that's half of them all at once.]

Times like this are exactly the times when friends should stick together.

Yeah.

[Weak little laugh.]

Wish I could say the same for the other two.

Aw, he was the funniest at the welcome party you guys had.

[Or: the most easily annoyed.]

I...I'll talk to Noct. Pretty sure neither of us are gonna wanna cook today, so we may stop by later?

Of course! We'd be happy to have you. I'm sure Elliot would help me cook more than enough for everyone.

[She knows he wants to worry about Noctis first but-- she's a little worried about him, too.]

And... if you guys need a Bond, you might be able to talk to Lloyd while you're here. I'd offer to help myself but... I only have one spot left and I promised that I'd wait until next month for an answer from Crow.

But if he says no next month, I wouldn't mind helping one of you either.

Prompto...

[He feels so bad for this guy]

I wish I could say something that'd make it better ... but like Towa said, our door is always open to you and Noctis.

[ Oh no... ]

Prompto... Sorry to hear that. Do you need anything? Even if it's just company?

Honestly, I dunno. They're not exactly going back to anything good, y'know? And I've got to worry about Noct--who apparently has a bond I didn't know about, the jerk--and then hopefully finding someone who can stand me enough to bond with?

Yeah, I'm gonna talk to Noct, see if maybe he wants to stop by later. This house is...huge for two people, y'know?

Thanks, Towa.

[He means it. It's...weird? Not having to deal with this with just him and Noct.

And by that he means on his own, because he wouldn't want to bother Noct.]

...wait, hasn't Crow been here for a few months already?

Yeah. The uncertainty is... a lot to deal with.

[ He wishes he could say something more helpful - but grief sucks. He just feels so bad for the guy, and Noctis - who he hasn't even met yet, but still. A bond, though? He can at least help with that - maybe? ]

Well, if you wanted, I actually don't have any bonds at all yet. And for what it's worth? It's definitely not a matter of standing you. You're fun to spend time with.

-- But take your time, obviously. You don't need to rush into any decisions, especially right now.

Yeah I could see why you'd feel that way...

Well, you can count on our place always being lively. And if you decide to stay the night, we could put you guys up in Jusis's old room.

Anything you need, we're here for you.

Of course. And if there's anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to ask. After all... you helped me out last month too, carrying all that stuff for the magic marksmanship lessons I was doing.

[This is just what friends do for each other.]

...yeah. Crow and Machias have both been here a few months now so I'm a bit worried for the both of them. But Bonding is... something that's not easy for Crow to accept. So I promised I'd give him time. He has a familiar, so I'm not worried about him getting hurt yet but... I know that won't work forever.
