❛ i hope this raven finds you well… ❜

❛ you carry a sword, yet you are not a knight. ❜

❛ the gods must be angry. i sense a storm brewing. ❜ 

❛ there’s no place i’d rather be than by your side. ❜ 

❛ nobility is defined by what you do, not who you are. ❜

❛ i know how to keep my life and my crown. and i will. ❜ 

❛ well, i’m not a knight. not yet. ❜

❛ at least we’ll die with honor. ❜

❛ i’ve never seen a dragon before, what are they like? ❜

❛ this knife is laced with venom, any sudden movements and you’re dead. ❜ 

❛ of all the idiots in the realm, i’m trapped with you. ❜ 

❛ shed no tears for me. i will be back before you know it. ❜ 

❛ i’m sorry, but i’m to be married to someone else. ❜ 

❛ here’s a copper for your thoughts. and a silver not to tell them. ❜ 

❛ you humans are most amusing. ❜ 

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ you were made to be ruled. ❜ 

❛ i will protect you. it is my duty, knight or not. ❜

❛ my kingdom is in danger. i’ve come to ask for your aid. ❜ 

❛ i’ve got a date with destiny, and it won’t end in a kiss. unfortunately. ❜ 

❛ keep your sword up and your back straight. ❜

❛ you’re asking me to commit treason. ❜

❛ you will make a fine ruler one day. ❜ 

❛ no curse of mine shall befall you from my dying breath. ❜

❛ you should see me in a crown. ❜ 

❛ bury me shallow, i will be back. ❜

❛ bard! play something a little more upbeat. ❜ 

❛ i warn you, i’ve been trained to kill since birth. ❜

❛ my magic is useless against them. i’ve never felt so powerless. ❜ 

❛ how can it be my destiny to protect someone who hates me? ❜ 

❛ i am at your mercy, your grace. ❜ 

❛ do not be afraid, little one. i will not hurt you. ❜ 

❛ any man who must say ‘i am the king’ is no true king. ❜

❛ knights must prevail with steel and sinew alone. ❜

❛ impudent of you to assume i will meet a mortal end. ❜

❛ spare me the ‘i’ve come to slay you’ speech and let’s get on with it. ❜ 

❛ it is my duty to protect the last of the dragons. ❜

❛ do i look like the kind of person who dies? ❜

❛ we are king and queen, chained together like prisoners in a dungeon. ❜ 

❛ for every great ruler, there is an equally great assassin poised to kill. ❜

❛ my bloodline was wiped out before my eyes. i’m the last heir. ❜ 

❛ you look better in your wanted posters. ❜ 

❛ you don’t need a king. a knight can make another knight. ❜

❛ violence for violence is the rule for beasts. ❜

❛ fear cuts deeper than swords. ❜

❛ pick a god and pray to it. ❜

❛ i’d rather die than marry you. ❜ 

❛ my duty is to my people. ❜ 

❛ glad to see you haven’t become food for the vultures. ❜ 

❛ i will paint the throne red with your blood. ❜ 

❛ what’s a life threatening quest without a bit of music? ❜ 

Prompto is someone who knows exactly how awkward it is to get gifts from people who are clearly only doing so out of the obligation of a birthday or other gift-giving holiday. ‘A gift card for the coffee shop chain I never go to! You shouldn’t have.’

After he starts hanging out with Noctis, Prompto inevitably sees Gladio and Ignis often enough to induce the obligation of a gift. Prompto, however, is also incredibly observant, so he does his best to provide gifts that the boys would like.

Gladio On seeing that Gladio likes to read, and the sorts of materials he prefers, Prompto goes out and buys, not a book shop gift card, but actual books. A series he hasn’t heard Gladio mention nor seen him carry, which hopefully means Gladio doesn’t have them yet. 

Ignis Ignis is much harder to read than Gladio is, but Prompto gets the sense that Ignis really does enjoy cooking for its own sake – he’s Noct’s advisor, not his personal maid. So he gets Ignis a cookbook of recipes from Tenebrae, and a knife-cleaning kit. Other years might be a history of cooking, or some kind of ‘fill it in yourself’ recipe book.

Noctis Noct is Prompto’s best friend. He’s also the prince, and can have his every material desire filled. And even material nondesires. (I don’t believe for an instant Noctis actually wanted that car, given his attachment to the Regalia.) So what can he get to compare?

A scrapbook/photo album, filled with pictures of the people Noctis loves. Hanging out together, Gladio in the gym, Gladio reading on a park bench, Ignis cooking, Ignis studying, them with Noctis, Prompto with Noctis – there’s even a picture of Regis napping at his desk, acquired with the assistence and tacit permission of Iris and Clarus Amicitia.

Selfies of Prompto and Noctis being absolute dorks, pictures of Noctis fishing, graduation photos. Five years’ worth of memories.

very secretly geeks out over the magitek armor. he knows they’re made of evil and run on like. the yelps of kicked puppies and the sobs of children but he really really wants to pilot one.

the angelus, however, can go right to hell where it belongs

after discovering his origins, prompto starts to wonder if maybe that’s why he never saw his foster parents…. if maybe they knew what he was, and were scared of him.

the fact that noctis immediately accepts him despite knowing the truth does a lot to make him feel like a person again

prompto hates images of himself. it takes encouragement from noct, and the adrenaline rush of combat, to get him to start taking selfies.

he also doesn’t like mirrors very much.

he has an absurdly high tolerance for pain. it’s concerning.

he never deviates from his ‘vitamin’ prescription. when the darkness falls, Prompto does some research with talcott to figure out what exactly is in said vitamins, locate the herbs that go into them, and starts brewing ‘teas’ made of the stuff.

yes, the ‘vitamins’ help him deal with the shortcomings of verstael’s cloning process, so he can live as full a life as possible

the glaives stepped in before cor had to knock some heads together, mostly because a number of them had run into the kid before, and they didn’t trust the crownsguard near an outlander, even an adopted one.

a paparazzi once broke into prompto’s apartment. axis arra was on guard that night. axis does not take it well when minors are endangered.

prompto has babysat for axis’ kids, and those of other glaives, from time to time

Episode Talcott  🧢

Do you remember that prank that Shin’ichi Kurita did a few years back with this young man?

Now think, wouldn’t it be awesome to travel with Talcott, perhaps with Ignis too since they did travel together, to collect and gather information related to the Lucis Caelum and the Royal Tombs?

Puzzles, info gathering, travelling in the truck while hearing new conversations. Lots of interesting battles on WoR, a high chance of meeting Iris the Daemon Slayer, learn more from House Amicitia through Jared and Talcott’s memories…

So much potential!

Kiss the prince!…lol
