@ascendantly ♥’d for a sad thing that ended up not being sad at all.
pride sears through his chest and flourishes in the form of a beaming grin he cannot hide ( should he have liked to ). the incredible feat he can’t help but gawk at is noctis warping 30 feet into the air and hanging idly from something that will quite likely need repair once his sword is removed. from below, he shouts that he better be careful on his way down, and it’s something gladio thinks noctis would take heed of... if he hadn’t heard the clatter of his weapon when it hit the ground and watched him plummet soon after. not the most graceful of landings, but given the feat accomplished before it, the impression noctis made does not lessen.
it’s a rush to rejoin him from where he’d been observing, and once he’s caught up, gladio slaps his shoulder in his lighthearted attempt at congratulations.
❝ that was your highest warp yet! great job, noct. ❞
