"I am quite certain, it's just a minor burn."

It hurt, of course. Burns always did. But he was well familiar with them, too. While he had always been purposeful and careful when cooking, accidents happened, even to him. And that was to say nothing of his own propensity to use fire when fighting.

As with many things, however, the loss of his sight had seemingly heightened the sensation of pain.

    The blond wasn't quite satisfied with the dismissal. Hands itching to do something 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋. With a silent whine and growl, he turned to the cool box to retrieve one of the cooling elements inside. The block of ice, contained in blue plastic, was too cold for Prompto's fingers. Though he was stubborn enough to hold it tightly and carry it back to Ignis.

    ❝ Here— ❞ Carefully, Prompto took the hand on which Ignis had accidentally harmed himself. Placing the cold pack against the burn. He recalled when Noctis was a little careless with his fire use, Ignis came to the rescue with the same technique of using a cooling element. Hey, at least Prompto pays attention sometimes.

' next time...take the fucking hint '

' we don't need a bleeding heart like you getting in the way '

' bad time to start carrying dead weight, friend '

' you may be able to prolong your life, but it's not like you can escape your inevitable death, is it? '

' give my regards to your god '

' you guys are really starting to become a giant pain in my ass '

' maybe you'll live to meet me again '

' even if it takes you your whole life, you'll never get out '

' if you try to do anything clever, i will kill you '

' my, my, we've got a feisty one '

' being a hero isn't what it's cracked up to be anymore '

' seven minutes is all i can spare to play with you '

' i'm not destroying the world, i'm saving it '

' rain or shine, you're going down '

' they did something to me. i barely feel human anymore '

' hey, you sure you're good? '

' more and more i find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting for '

' don't you know no one dies without a cause? '

' come to my rescue, prince charming '

' well after six years, that is one hell of a greeting '

' who are you really? come on and tell us '

' i would expect you to be happier to see us '

' if you care for your own well-being, i suggest you surrender yourself '

speaking of brain-rot, mazzy star has been on my mind a lot lately. Now, I'll admit that sure, maybe some of their lyrics are sort of nonsensical... it's very much giving 'art film' vibes, but i do think their music is so genuinely pretty. also, how can we not appreciate a little representation from hope? anyways, mazzy star will be missed so much as a band.

‘  And now you choose the thorny cave, I can't believe what I had to say.  ’

‘  Now I can't disappear  ’

‘  Close your eyes and look at me  ’

‘  Change your mind and you'll have to forgive  ’

‘  Before I let you down again I just want to see you in your eyes  ’

‘  I only thought you could understand  ’

‘  They say everybody steals somebody's heart away  ’

‘  I've got nothing more to say about it  ’

‘  Send me your flowers of your December  ’

‘  And I've been wondering why you let me down  ’

‘  I've been taking it all for granted  ’

‘  I can't leave my troubles  ’

‘  I'm going home  ’

‘  Just like you knew I wouldn't do  ’

‘  Should I leave it all away ? Not like the kindness that you gave  ’

‘  That's why it never seems the same  ’

‘  I stood behind when no one asked me  ’

‘  That's what you think I want to be  ’

‘  You never got there even though you say you will  ’

‘  Sorry now that you've fallen from my eyes  ’

‘  That's the truth  ’

‘  Why are you telling me about everything  ’

‘  You're just waiting for her  ’

‘  You really had a million hearts to break  ’

‘  How come there's always someone else driving your car ?  ’

‘  Still cold like the stars, that's just the way you are.  ’

‘  You used to say your heart felt like a stone  ’

‘  I knew I was close to you  ’

‘  Make the devil feel surprised  ’

‘  All your sisters wanna fly around my golden sky  ’

‘  Just because you feel hollow inside it's real  ’

‘  I've been let down  ’

‘  I'm still comin' round for you  ’

‘  Take away everything that feels fine  ’

‘  Make me feel like I belong to you  ’

‘  Make me feel it, even if it ain't true.  ’

‘  Take me there when I should be going home  ’

‘  Tell me why I'm still feeling all alone  ’

‘  Everyday you can see changes in her hair and smile  ’

‘  Sometimes I feel deceived  ’

‘  You won't know her so it's okay  ’

‘  Funny how things change  ’

‘  Count my stars  ’

‘  All my things look like someone else's memories  ’

‘  I just wait till you're happy  ’

‘  For some people I know it shines  ’

‘  An extra feeling inside her soul makes her cry  ’

‘  Look on down from the bridge, It's still raining up here.  ’

‘  Everybody just wants to be free  ’

‘  It's no different when you're leaving home  ’

‘  I can't be the same thing to you now, I'm just gone.  ’

‘  How could I say goodbye ?  ’

‘  There's a light in your eyes  ’

maybe one day i'll wear this to a party i'm actually invited to.

this is the right place.

did no one read my book?

let me guess! it's the wrong time! it's the wrong place! i'm wrong again!

it could contain something dangerous!

we're in england.

you fell in love with me on a treasure hunt.

then fine! if that's what you want, then let's have it out right now!

i flew all the way to london to offer my help, and you don't need it?

if you were trying to convince me, you'd have less evidence and i'd already believe you by now.

concealed in those pages is the key to something much, much bigger.

that was not love! that was excitement! adrenaline! tequila!

you're the one making a scene right now.

i was going to have the movers bring them to you next week.

you know what that means.

you have his number on speed dial?

take it from the best. you're a natural.

that's very nice, but it's kind of a bad time right now.

you're so good at puzzles, i'm sure you'll figure it out.

i want you to do something for me.

death and despair. mostly death.

you guys are so great together.

i get lucky a lot.

all of you will get credit for this discovery.

it's a little golden man.

you're wrong to assume i'd like the chair.

your dad called me.

just promise you'll come back for me.

did you get a chance to look at page 47?

you're wearing the perfume i got you.

the fire alarm's gone off.

this doesn't involve another treasure hunt, does it?

well, would you look at that.

my first felony.

just because you may know what my answer is going to be, doesn't mean you don't have to ask me.

what is going on with the education in america?

the past is filled with incredible mysteries.

everyone listen to this.

what's the final clue?

even if something like that really did exist, why do you think i would actually just give it to you?

i was going to say you could keep them.

we gotta be on the other side of that door!

so when did you realize it was a fake argument?

you did that in twenty five seconds.

they want to believe it.

two hundred people know you held me against my will.

i'm gonna kidnap him.

you've got to find where that leads before they do.

you always seem to know what's best.

we won't leave you behind.

get out of there. i had to move the car.

just because i answer a question quickly doesn't make it wrong.

all i need is a few minutes with the president.

are you talking about the book?

god save the queen.

sorry. couldn't resist.

i need to see that book.

just have a look at that.

where's the phone?

that's what couples do.

my girlfriend kicked me out.

this could be a horrible trap.

oh, now look what you've done.

wait, is there more than one?

been drinking, have we?

nobody leaves unless i say so.

dismount the bannister!

you can do that?

what did you find now? atlantis?

when i assume i'm right, and it turns out my assumption is correct, how is that wrong?

one of us is going to have to stay behind.

we have thirty seconds to disable the alarm.

oh look. my tax dollars at work, coming to arrest me.

people don't believe in that stuff anymore.

there are three, actually.

so i guess my opinion doesn't matter.

that door's not gonna stay open by itself.

i can't find anything in this mess.

when you make a decision without asking me, and you happen to be right... you got lucky.

no, i'm just kidding.

is that for us?

the last time i checked, we make our living off crazy.

wouldn't it just have been easier to make an appointment?

i think it smells kind of pretty.

well, you never know.

we both know what has to happen here.

it's only temporary until i can find a new place.

the following conversation never took place.

when did you realize that i was actually arguing during the fake argument?

what book?

i'll drive.

one of us stays behind.

what's new with you?

that's not true.

someone else is after the treasure.

maybe you could come and move back in with me?

you think we don't know about it?

i've been doing the math here.

when you say "so" it means you're angry.

do you know the origin of the expression?

it's sort of like a puzzle.

history can remember you forever.

why would i overreact to that?

    He needed that. The squeeze. And this whole time Prompto was thinking that it was Noctis needing help to stay grounded, while it wa, 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓, himself. Stupid. Ignis has talked to him about this before. What was it called? Reflecting?

    ❝ Thanks, Noct. Guess I’ve just been thinking too much. ❞

    ❝ Just— uh. Think of my eyebrows next time you 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 with fire. I think they’re one of my best features. ❞

“Your freckles...” Oh. Did he say that out loud? Noctis shook his head. “Um- I think I’ll just use it in emergencies. Or just... leave it to Ignis. I mean, like, fire is literally his name. So... yeah.”

    ❝ Huh? ❞ Lifting his head, he gazed at his friend in confusion. But he stopped. Why? What was he going to say? — Are my freckles my best feature instead? Deciding not to press on, he allowed Noctis to change the subject. But he wasn't about to forget this . . .

    He smiled. ❝ You know what? That sounds like a 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓 idea! ❞ The young man does indeed love Chocobos. If you can ignore the smell, those big birds are perfect if you are in need of cheering up.

    ❝Wha— of course I’d worry about you!❞ His disbelief quickly faded. Gaze lowering once more. At least I’d be missed. He’d miss them too. Noctis especially.❝Trust me, I’m𝐓𝐑𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆not to feel bad. I … I wish I was more like Gladio or Iggy. More level-headed, or somethin’.❞ But it did him no good to compare himself to two men who had entirely different personalities and views. He knows that.

            It’s still food for thought for the gunner.

    ❝Nevermind. Forget what I said. — I’m relieved you’re patient with me.❞ They’ve been friends for how long now? It’d be heartbreaking if Noct decided to ditch him now. But it didn’t look like he had any plans to do so. His heart was at ease once more.

    ❝And I𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘appreciate that you have enough faith in me.❞

    He needed that. The squeeze. And this whole time Prompto was thinking that it was Noctis needing help to stay grounded, while it wa, 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓, himself. Stupid. Ignis has talked to him about this before. What was it called? Reflecting?

    ❝ Thanks, Noct. Guess I've just been thinking too much. ❞

    ❝ Just— uh. Think of my eyebrows next time you 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 with fire. I think they're one of my best features. ❞
