Iona, the twin world of Eos. Torn asunder by a cataclysmic event, only two survived. King Fellux Naxan Valtreus and his daughter, Makina Hexxus Valtreus, fled to Eos and found sanctuary. As the last survivors who carry the blood of the mighty dragon...

"See?" Noctis asked after he safely warped him and Makina to the base of the cliff. "Told ya I wouldn't kill us."
The snowy-haired girl tightened her arms around his neck. She slumped against him with a sigh. "I hate warping..."
"You jump and fall into rifts all the time."
"Yeah, but I'm used to that. Warping is different than traveling via a rift." She unwound her arms from around his neck and tried to step away from him, but the arm secured around her waist didn't budge. "You gonna let me go anytime soon?"
"Not sure," he replied. "I kinda like how we are."
"Yeah, well, we'll be sharing a bed tonight and can snuggle all you like then. For now, we should find the others." She patted his chest and stepped away from him the moment his arm fell from her waist.
They found the others near the caravan and received a lecture from Ignis before deciding to eat. The advisor used the stove within the caravan to make dinner. They enjoyed their meal together without Ardyn butting in. Once the food was all gone and their bellies were full, they called it a night.
Luckily, the boys and Makina were in the backroom with the bunk beds. She shared one of the small beds with Noctis. It wasn't made for two people, but they made it work. It was slightly uncomfortable due to the limited space, but they soon found a position that brought comfort to both of them.
Makina heard the gentle snoring of Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus while she too tried to fall asleep. However, it eluded her. With her back pressed against Noctis' chest, she tugged on the blanket she was sharing with him. She stiffened slightly at the sensation of him hanging his arm around her waist.
Noctis felt her muscles stiffen. "Someone's a little tense..."
Exhaling a deep sigh, the girl relaxed her body. "It's been a while since we've shared a bed."
"Guess the last time was before you left to do more training. You good now?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But are you sure you're comfortable? I can sleep on the floor so you can have more space."
"I'm comfy. Even if I wasn't, there's no way I'd let you sleep on the floor."
Turning around to face him, she hummed and snuggled as close as possible to him. The arm she had tucked between them slithered around his neck. Her fingers combed at the hair along the base of his neck, which made him shudder. She grinned at his reaction to her touch. Her grin slowly shifted into a smile as she noticed her ministrations were lulling him to sleep.
"Keep doing that..." He mumbled as his eyes started to slide close. He tried to fight the urge to fall asleep, but her fingers were making it impossible. Her stroking his hair was causing him to fall asleep. Lazily, he wound one arm around her waist and held her close. He nuzzled his nose against the top of her head with a satisfied sigh.
