Oh! [She hasn't realized Noctis was there too, the angle of the seat obscuring him from her vision. Kaname chuckles at Prompto's enthusiasm, her own smile easily growing.]

It's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot, though most if it's from his version of things.

[The singer takes over his awkward hovering as she sits in the chair to the prince's left and holds her hand out.]

I'm over here, ready with a handshake if you're comfortable with it.

[waywardking]

[He must have told her about his handicap. He can hear her voice get closer, as well as her footsteps, and he shifts in his chair so he's facing her.]

He never told me he managed to get a girlfriend.

[What happened to Cindy, Prompto.

Thanks to her guidance, he accepts the handshake, grinning as he does so.]

Nice to meet you...and my condolences on snagging a giant dork.

[this_loser]

Maybe I didn't think you'd believe me.

[Cindy who?

He takes his cue from Kaname and sits across from them both.]

H-hey! Am I going have to regret this?

[There's no real heat behind it. He's just happy to see two of his most important people in the same space, finally.]

[axi]

[It's Cindy Lou Who. Watch the movie.

Kaname raises a brow at Noct's statement-- the first one, glancing over to Prompto.]

It's worth any hassle that might arise, but I'm a little hurt he didn't mention me before.

[She isn't, at all, but he really should have.]

I'm sorry this was sprung on you. [To Prompto:] Why didn't you tell him?

[waywardking]

I'm still not sure if I believe you.

[He's not serious. She feels like a real person and not a projection or robot.

But now he's also apparently gotten Prompto in some trouble, oops.]

It's not a big deal, don't-- [And then she's clearly not talking to him anymore, but he's still going to get a word in, possibly over whatever his friend's response is.] It never came up, is all...

[this_loser]

[Prompto tries to splutter out an explanation - though he's pretty sure Kaname isn't actually upset. He hopes. He grasps onto Noctis's words and nods fervently.]

It didn't come up! That's why I wanted to do this. [The meeting thing. Here. What's happening right now.] Two stones, one bird!

[axi]

Mhm. [Kaname sounds barely convinced, but she's more amused than anything, and it shows in her voice and her smile at him.] The saying's a little mixed up, but I get the idea.

[She addresses Noctis now, moving to look at him so her voice travels more directly.]

Like he said, I'm Kaname Buccaneer. We've been together for over a year now.

[waywardking]

[He lets out a low whistle.] I'm impressed.

[And a little jealous. But he's not letting that show, because he really is glad that Prompto found someone and has stayed with her for that long.]

So what's he said about me while I haven't been here?

[this_loser]

[He rolls his eyes.] It's not that hard to believe, is it?

[He sits back, happy to let them talk and interjecting when he feels he must.]

[axi]

Mostly good things, though... [Kaname does glance at Prompto curiously.]

Has he mentioned anything about people who were here before?

[Like his version of Noctis, Luna, and Ignis.]

[waywardking]

Some things...I know we're from different...versions of the same world or something.

[Which honestly still sounds a little too sci-fi for him, but Prompto's not really the kind of person to lie about something like that.]

A girl I've never met recognized me...told me I'd been here before, so there's that.

[this_loser]

[Prompto nods, and remembers he's going to have to start vocalizing more.]

Yeah. We talked over some of that. Crazy, right?

[He angles to address Noctis directly.]

I told you about Iggy and Luna. Noctis from my world had been here for a while too. People who knew him will recognize you.

[axi]

Good. [Prompto gets a smile.] I'm sure Umbra and Pryna will be happy if they haven't seen you yet.

[She's glad Prompto covered the serious stuff, and she's happy to move on to more light hearted topics.]

So, is there anything in particular you'd like to ask me?

[waywardking]

[The mention of the dogs gets his attention pretty quickly. He's assuming they're not here here, or else one of them would have mentioned their presence.]

I haven't...I didn't even know they were here. Are they on this ship?

[He doesn't really have any questions, but if he did, they've been overshadowed by dogs anyway.]

[this_loser]

[Dogs trump all else. Prompto grins.]

They're wherever they want to be. But last time I saw them, they were stealing my bed. I'm sure they'll be happy to see you.

[axi]

[Kaname laughs and shakes her head.]

They were still there when I looked in and left as well. I don't think they'll be moving any time soon.

[She glances at Noctis then back at Prompto.]

Did you want me to go and get them?

I accidentally deleted this tag, I'm sorry

[waywardking]

Yeah...if you can get them off the bed. I might be less important than their nap.

[Bring him the doggos. Or even one doggo, he would be okay with that too.]

<3

[this_loser]

Oh! [Prompto hops up, smacking his leg on the table of snack as he does so. (Ow, haha.)] I can do it!

[He hops toward the door.]

I can be back in jiffy! You guys just, do the talking thing, right?

[axi]

Are you su-- [The smack on the table pretty easily clues her in to what just happened. With a quick 'excuse me' to Noctis, Kaname is up and over to him.]

That sounded like it hurt. Sit down, and I'll be right back, okay? I'll grab some ice for your leg, too. [She kisses him on the cheek and makes sure he's seated okay before heading out to grab the dogs and ice.]

[waywardking]

[Okay, so Prompto's going to get the dogs and Noct will stay and chat with the girlfriend.

Maybe. He's leaning on the table when Prompto hits it, so his arm is jolted and he's startled by the noise.]

What happened?

[Oh. Judging from Kaname's response, Prompto's either tripped over some part of the table or chairs or hit his shin, so apparently Noct does not get to chat with the girlfriend.]

Oh. Good job, very graceful. Was it your knee or shin?

[this_loser]

Ah, thanks...

[He drops back into his seat with a sheepish chuckle as Kaname exits. He gives the space above the bump a cautious rub.]

Shin. And it's fine. You know me.

[Bumping into things is a fine art, and he has perfected it.]

Better topic: What do you think of Kaname?

[waywardking]

Just making sure.

[Just in case he has to help with any medical procedures. Not that he'll be much help, but the offer's there nonetheless.]

She's...I dunno, she seems nice enough. What's she look like?

[Not that it matters, really. Prompto could fabricate her appearance out of thin hair and he'd have to take his word for it.]

[this_loser]

[No need for medical. He's getting an ice pack!]

She is nice. I mean, she's put up with me for over a year.

And she's pretty! Really pretty. Um, red hair, and blue eyes. About as tall as Luna? She's a singer where she's from. Like, maybe more famous than you.

Dude, dude, you should hear her sing!

[waywardking]

[And kisses, which are an important part of the healing process.]

I'm pretty not-famous outside of Insomnia, you know. Pretty sure some people only know my name because they've heard it on the radio.

...Does she do shows or anything? I'm not asking her for a demonstration, that's weird.

[this_loser]

[Ice pack for the physical injury. Kisses for the hit to his pride.]

So definitely more famous than you.

[He snickers.]

Nah, I wouldn't do that to either of you. But she has done shows! Maybe you'll get lucky enough to see one.
