Noctis’ eyes narrowed as he realized his father was calling him a bug. “Don’t even tease about your death bed. It’s not funny. And I’m not babying you, I just asked if you wanted a book.”

Noctis pouted a bit as he was swatted away, “Um, no, I didn’t ask Prompto to take notes for me. He’s got different classes. I’ll just ask someone I’ve got the classes with for their notes, it’s alright, honest.”

Noctis winced as his movements woke his father, then ducked his head at his words. “I was, and I did. Sorry.”

When Regis moved to sit up Noctis was quick to get to his feet and press him back down in the bedding, “No, no dad. Lay down. There’s no reason to sit up on my account, you need to rest so you’ll get better.”
