"Just when we were reunited, huh?" Prompto tells you.
"Things come up, yknow?" You say.
"It'll be alright." You continue.

It's morning.

The sky above has tumbled.

"Sure is cold..." Prompto says.
"Yeah..." Noctis says.

It's awkward and silent.
With a touch of grim.

"What is it with this silent atmosphere!? It wasn't like this when Noct arrived, what's happening with you all?" Ignis breaks the silence.
"You don't want Noctis's final sight of us is crying, now do we?" He continues.
"We should plant the image into Noctis's brain that we are strong. We will support him, and nothing will stop us." Ignis gets up.
"Stop moping around, it's not good."  Ignis says.

Gladio gets up and washes his face with a wet cloth.
"You have a God damn point, Ignis.." Gladio says.
"It's a bad moment to feel any joy though!" Prompto says.
"You're one to talk!" Noctis says.

He chuckles a bit.

Prompto looks at Noctis, he laughs slightly.

"See... There's the spirit... When the time comes, we'll be serious." You say.
"And when the time comes for all of us to say goodbye.. then.. we'll show no weakness." Ignis says.
"Under the moonlight we'll be unstoppable!" You say, doing a ridiculous pose.
"The Chocobros!" Prompto says, joining your posing.
"The chocobos!" Everyone yells. Lightening up the mood.

"Let's take are timmme-"
"This is a life or death situation." Gladio says.
"Aha..." Prompto sighs.
"Listen guys, all I'm going to say is be careful in there you here?" Noctis says.
"Like you've said, that place is crawling with Daemons. There's nothing we can do but reduce their numbers." Noctis continues.

"All we can say is good luck. It's going to be tough." Noctis looks at you.
"You sure you can take it?" He asked you.

"Pfft, wha-meeee? You're really asking me this?" You say.
"I'll have you know, I've been training my butt off for the past 10 years." You flex your non viewable muscles.
"They're growing, it's there. I swear!" You say.

He laughs.
"Haha... Good to know..."
"That's my girl!" Prompto says. He smacks your back.
"Ouch, dammit!" You yelp.
"What! I didn't hit you THAT hard!" He rubs your back.
"I didn't hit you THAT hard!" You mimic.
"Of course you did!" You yell.
"I'm sorrrryyy!! Forgive me!" He grovels over you.
"Peasant!" You say.
"Yes, your highness!" He says.

Noctis gives a wide smile.
Gladio smiles slightly.

His smile fades.

"Time to get serious, guys.." he says.

Prompto gets up, cleans his pants, and stands within a line.
You follow his lead.

"Is everyone prepared?" Ignis askes.
"Uhh... Actually, I think I left my pair of underwear at hamme-"
"We're ready." Gladio cuts Prompto off.
Prompto glares at him.
"You really want ME, being the last thing you see?" Gladio says.
"No.." he looks over at you.
"Bingo." He says.
"THIS is the last thing I wanna see." Prompto says. 
You blush.
"C'mon guys you're freakin' married, WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE YOU JUST STARTED DATING!?" Noctis yells. Not in annoyance, not in anger.
"Cause we still have a young soooull, brah." Prompto says in a surfers tone.
"Haha..." Sheepish laughter releases Noctis's mouth.
