[ Oh— yeesh. She stares a moment before laughing, looking away with a slight blush. From the design, that must be Gladio’s? This slideshow is a surprise to her, too, in many ways. ]
[Ah... that one makes his heart hurt a little, though he smiles anyway. The Regalia's in their garage now, borrowed from his father since he woke up and it became a comforting haunt, his safe place. Harder to feel sad about the Regalia's fate when it's pristine and in one peace just a few rooms away.]
There's a classic... looking back, it's kind of lucky we broke down when we did.
[They'd have just rolled on past Hammerhead, otherwise.]
[ She catches Prompto’s eyes as he looks at her, and then brings a hand to her lips as she laughs at their banter. It’s clear neither of them truly blame the other, but that this is yet another fond memory. ]
It’s hard to believe that you four had the energy to pose for a picture after all that!
[ She leans forward for a moment, squinting at the latest picture.... She doesn't even know what sort of animal that is, but it looks heavy enough to take on a tank. One stomp from it would be able to pulverize bones. ]
...I almost didn't see you there...-- Oh, but it looks like Gladio is about to rescue you!
Not just you. He totally did it to me, especially during training. Knowing Gladio, he pushed harder on you because you didn't have as much experience as the rest of us- it was his weird way of keeping you alive.
[Gladio is just kind of like that. Not everybody gets him. Not even Noct, a lot of the time.]
[Ah... something shifts in Noct's gaze, a quiet, nostalgic smile with a layer of sadness beneath. How long's it been? And if it feels this way for him, it must be so much harder for Prompto. He leans in a little, his shoulder pressed up against his friend's, though he glances briefly at Pyra to explain.]
That's Iris... she was even better at selfies than you. [Meaning Prompto, as his gaze shifts again.]
[ Feeling the shift between the two, she glances over, by happenstance catching Noctis' expression. While she had expected some level of bittersweetess between the two of them for having a slideshow of their world, the both of them had been handling it well so far.
This time, she doesn't know what his expression means. Perhaps he misses her; that seems reasonable. ] Iris, ...Gladio's sister.
[ The both of them, two of the new flower she will be planting in their garden. ] She seems sweet.
[A great kid for sure, one who's going to be an absolute monster in battle given a few years. Daemons had better watch out.
It's getting hard to look at people he's unlikely to see again (or at least not for long if he does) so seeking a reprieve, he gestures towards the screen. Something that ought to get them all excited, maybe...]
Hey, you've got pics of the farm on here, right? I don't think Pyra's ever seen chocobos yet.

Look at them. Look how happy they are. Prompto, Noctis, Gladio, and Ignis too, without his scars. ]
Is... is that a desert? Isn’t that hot in all that black?

[Speaking of hot?]

You're such an ass man... how many of those did you keep?

The— the world of Eos sure is cheeky!

I feel it would be in all our best interests if I don't say.

no subject
Um, that is... the car broke down?
[ She's seen it sitting in the garage, although she's never been within the car itself... Pyra had assumed it was Noctis'. ]
no subject
Sure did. Nowhere near the garage, either. We had to push it in.
[He leans forward to catch Pyra's eye.] And it was not my fault.
no subject
[There's an air of skepticism in Noct's voice.]
I seem to remember you being the one in the driver's seat, though.
[The car had just stalled, so it was technically nobody's fault, but Prompto opened the door so he's gonna walk the truth right on through.]

[He settles back, blowing a soft raspberry.]
I'm pretty sure this was after we did those hunts to pay for the repairs. I think I was just happy to be alive, T-B-H.
Here, here. Look at this thing. Look.
[Just look at it.]
no subject
[Noctis tilts his head a bit as he studies it. Big and beefy, probably about to turn daemonic- it was a wild fight for a group of novice city boys.]

[He's kinda grumbling, but he also knows that's totally why. He also stayed alive, so guess it worked? Anyway, switching to something else.]

[To Pyra, he says,] She really is. You'd like her. She's a tiny ball of bubbly that could also kick your ass.
